Key Takeaways:
- A major Trump-affiliated crypto project experienced a steep decline in its digital asset portfolio amid turbulent market conditions.
- The loss highlights the vulnerability of aggressive, concentrated investment strategies in a highly volatile crypto environment.
- Broader economic uncertainties—including regulatory shifts and trade policy challenges—are intensifying investor caution.
- The incident raises important questions about risk management and the long-term sustainability of high-risk crypto ventures.
A Monday report from Arkham Intelligence revealed that World Liberty Financial Inc. (WLFI), a cryptocurrency venture linked to U.S. President Donald Trump, is grappling with substantial unrealized losses.
Its portfolio has declined by approximately $110 million, with investments across nine crypto assets falling from an initial value of $336 million to around $226 million.
These losses remain on paper, as the assets have not been sold. They stem from a broader downturn in the crypto market and concerns over WLFI's high-risk strategy.
As President Trump's investment venture faces mounting challenges, scrutiny grows over the recently announced crypto reserves and the project’s long-term viability.
Ethereum Plunges 65%, Leading WLFI's Losses
According to Arkham Intelligence, WLFI's Ethereum (ETH) holdings account for the bulk of its portfolio decline, with a steep 65% drop.
The venture acquired most of its ETH at an average price of $3,240 per token, but the asset now trades at approximately $2,100.
