This wasn’t the first time President Trump’s son voiced confidence in the top two digital assets.

In February, amid tariff-fueled economic uncertainty, he called it a great time to buy Ethereum and Bitcoin. Ethereum went on to drop below $1,400, its lowest point since November 2023.

But with corporate adoption ramping up and market sentiment improving on positive legislative headlines, ETH rebounded sharply, reclaiming $3,900 earlier this week.

The rally has cooled following renewed tariff threats. At press time, Ethereum was trading around $3,500, down 3% over the past 24 hours, while Bitcoin hovered near $113,500, according to CoinGecko.

Trump disclosed in December that he held Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui. The family’s crypto involvement also extends to mining. American Bitcoin, a mining firm backed by him and his brother Donald Trump Jr., reported holding 215 BTC.

World Liberty Financial, a DeFi venture backed by the Trump family, recently acquired 77,226 ETH at an average price of $3,294 per coin, according to Lookonchain. On-chain data suggests the firm may have sold part of its ETH stack at a loss in April.

Trump’s World Liberty(@worldlibertyfi) spent 1M $USDC to buy 256.75 $ETH at $3,895 again 23 hours ago.

World Liberty has bought a total of 77,226 $ETH($296M) at an average price of $3,294, with an unrealized profit of ~$41.7M.https://t.co/kaRan1WMwFhttps://t.co/0qWkRUhTQb… pic.twitter.com/u8D9yduAps
