President-elect Donald Trump’s crypto fund, World Liberty Financial, has grabbed headlines by moving USDC for Ethereum (ETH). According to Onchain data, the project had bought 2,631 ETH worth $10 million. Each token is priced at $3,801. This acquisition has taken the ETH holding of the fund to over 14,500 ETH, which is equivalent to $56 million in value.
Besides Ethereum, the crypto project expanded its portfolio by purchasing Chainlink (LINK) and Aave (AAVE) for $1 million each. About 41,335 LINK tokens and 3,357 AAVE tokens were moved.
These investments are in line with the objectives of the project to extend financial access. By enhancing the Aave protocol and Chainlink’s Oracle service, cross-chain communication and data transmissions on blockchains can be improved. These initiatives are projected to increase the decentralized financial services of the fund. Through this, transparency and security can also be promoted.

From the Arkham Intel records, transactions have been observed over the last forty-eight hours. With this move, the crypto community’s belief in Ethereum is strengthened. Apart from inflation hedge, it can also be considered a fundamental infrastructure in the decentralized economy.
