Trump Family Now Reportedly Selling Ethereum At A Loss 2 Months After Eric Said 'It's A Great Time To Add ETH'

• An entity partly controlled by Eric Trump may be selling its Ethereum holdings despite his infamous buy the dip post in February.
• The reported sale has sparked a flurry of reactions online.
• Eric’s father is partially responsible for the hit to his fledgling career as a market punter.

Two months ago, Eric Trump took to X to make a post that has become a meme in cryptocurrency circles.

“In my opinion, it’s a great time to add ETH. You can thank me later,” he wrote. At the time, the asset had just fallen below the psychologically important $3,000 price level and appeared to be struggling to make a comeback as it traded near $2,900.

As has been frequently reported, this comeback did not materialize despite Eric’s recommendation, and now, with a further 48% decline, he may be eating his own words.

World Liberty Financial Cutting Ethereum Losses?

An entity partly controlled by Eric may be selling its Ethereum holdings despite his infamous buy the dip post in February.

On Wednesday, crypto smart money tracker Lookonchain flagged a transaction from an address labeled World Liberty Financial on Arkham Intelligence. It suggested that the decentralized finance project taken over by a Trump family firm partly controlled by Eric was dumping its Ethereum holdings at a loss.

Specifically, the address sold nearly 5,500 ETH for $8 million at an average price of $1,465 per coin. The reported sale comes at a potential 55% loss to World Liberty Financial, which accumulated 67,498 coins for $210 million at an average price of $3,259, a stash now $125 million in the red.

Trending: It’s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — this alternative asset has outpaced the S&P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here’s how everyday investors are getting started.

Neither World Liberty Financial nor Arkham Intelligence immediately responded to requests for comment by Benzinga. 

The Lookonchain report has sparked a flurry of reactions online, with many unable to avoid pointing out the irony in light of Eric’s February statements.

The situation is perhaps made more ironic by the fact that Eric’s father, President Donald Trump, is partially responsible for the hit to his fledgling career as a market punter.

Trump Tariffs Weighing On Markets

Over the past few weeks, President Trump has implemented aggressive tariff policies that have culminated in a trade war that has seen the U.S. place a 104% tariff on China, with the latter retaliating with a levy of 84%.

The resulting uncertainty has tanked global markets, including the cryptocurrency market. The S&P 500 is flirting with bear market territory, at one point dropping as much as 20% below its all-time high. The Nasdaq is firmly in bear market territory at 22% below its February record. Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency market leader, has fallen as much as 32% below its January all-time high.

As such, a near-term reversal in Eric’s fortunes will likely hinge on a shift in his father’s policies, which seems unlikely.
