Donald Trump's crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, purchased approximately 14,403 Ether for about $48 million on January 19. This acquisition brought World Liberty's total ETH holdings to 33,630, valued at over $107 million. The ETH/BTC ratio has experienced a slight increase of 0.79% to 0.03197, indicating Ether's relative strength against Bitcoin after a prior decline. This uptick follows a positive response to the launch of a project associated with Trump that resulted in a surge in the value of its native Solana token, which reached an all-time high of $270. Although World Liberty has not disclosed the underlying reasons for these ETH purchases, Trump's son, Eric Trump, hinted at forthcoming developments within the platform. Meanwhile, Ether's price declined by 1.5% on the day to $3,230, albeit it had fluctuated between $3,133.98 and $3,439.78 in the last 24 hours. Google search interest for Ethereum peaked on January 19. In related news, Melania Trump's memecoin gained significant market value shortly after its launch, demonstrating the volatility and competitive nature of the current crypto landscape.
