Trump crypto portfolio grows significantly, driven by Ethereum’s performance.
Falling bond yields boost investor interest in riskier assets like Ethereum.
Donald Trump’s post-election narrative isn’t just about politics—it’s making waves in the crypto world. Market intelligence firm Arkham Intel reports that Trump’s cryptocurrency portfolio, worth $6.9 million, has seen significant growth since his November 5 presidential victory, fuelled by a strong market rally.
Interestingly, while Bitcoin (BTC) has been a key focus of Trump’s campaign rhetoric, Ethereum (ETH) has emerged as the real star of his holdings. Owning nearly 496 ETH, Trump has benefited from a 38% surge in the token’s value over the past 30 days.
Moreover, Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe attributes ETH’s recent rally to falling government bond yields, which have shifted investor interest toward riskier assets like Ethereum. “The ETH bull market has started,” he noted, citing bullish divergence in ETH’s charts. Van de Poppe speculated that weak economic data during Labor Market Week could push the Federal Reserve toward additional rate cuts, potentially creating more tailwinds for Ethereum.
Another analyst, Jesse Olson, pointed to Ethereum’s strengthening dominance over Bitcoin, identifying technical signals like a pending MACD crossover that could pave the way for further gains. Together, these dynamics have boosted Trump’s portfolio by $1.6 million in just 24 hours.
Sun And Trump
Adding to the buzz, TRON founder Justin Sun has thrown his weight behind Trump’s blockchain ambitions with a $30 million investment in Trump’s DeFi venture, World Liberty Financial (WLF). Sun expressed alignment with Trump’s vision of making the U.S. a global blockchain leader, noting that WLF aims to decentralize finance and democratize access.
Meanwhile, WLF’s offshore token sales have attracted international interest, only $30 million worth of tokens are available to U.S. investors—a move that’s sparked intrigue and some scrutiny.
As Trump’s presidency and crypto portfolio evolve, they’re serving as a case study for how political influence and blockchain technology can intersect in bold and unexpected ways.
