WLFI Converts WBTC to ETH in Strategic Asset Swap
World Liberty Financial swapped wrapped Bitcoin for Ether in a multi-million-dollar on-chain transaction, with reporting linking the entity to the Trump family.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) sold approximately 93.77 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and purchased about 2,868 Ether (ETH), a swap valued at roughly $8.07–$8.08 million according to on-chain data and reporting [1][3][4]. On-chain analysis cited by reporters indicates the transactions were executed via CoW Protocol and used a Gnosis Safe structure to carry out the swap [4].
Multiple outlets describe WLFI as Trump-backed or chaired by the Trump family and note the timing of the swap coincides with increased Ethereum whale accumulation observed on-chain [1][2]. Reporting and blockchain explorers flagged the move as part of broader institutional and large-holder activity in ETH markets [1][2].
The transactions represent a deliberate rotation from WBTC to ETH by WLFI and align with contemporaneous reports of growing Ether accumulation by large holders [2][4].
