WLFI Total Valuation Soars to $378.75 Million
Overall, the data on Arkham Intelligence revealed that the entire valuation of the over 150 tokens in WLFI’s wallet has reached $378.75 million. Ethereum remains the most valuable asset in the wallet, followed by WBTC. For context, the investment firm has 551.717 WBTC, worth approximately $57.64 million.
Some other valuable assets in WLFI’s crypto stores include 14,702 Staked Ethereum (STETH), worth $49.74 million; 43.921 million USD Coin (USDC), worth $43.92 million; 8.629 million Tether (USDT), worth $8.63 million; 19.399K AAVE, valued at $6.84 million, and several others.
Implications of WLFI’s Consistent Purchase
Considering the massive amounts allocated for the purchase of the different digital assets in WLFI’s wallet, it is obvious that the company seemed more focused on altcoins, especially Ethereum.
Reacting to the peculiarities of the investment firm’s purchases, several market participants are speculating that the U.S. president is placing more faith in Ethereum than Bitcoin. Therefore, it becomes safe to anticipate that the altcoins rally might soon begin with Ethereum leading the pack.

Other Institutional Investors are Displaying Strong Faith in Ethereum
In a separate tweet, Spotonchain reported that aside from WLFI, other institutional investors are also buying Ethereum. Per the on-chain crypto transactions tracker, five wallets that could be linked to a single entity deposited $29.2 million USDT in HTX (formerly known as Huobi) since November 2024.
After moving the USDT into the exchange, the depositor left the funds dormant until recently, when it exchanged the $29.2 million for 9,018 ETH tokens. Spotonchain added that the transaction occurred amid ETH’s price dip to $3,237.5. While the on-chain tracker does not know the entity controlling the wallet, it speculated that the Tron founder, Justin Sun, might be the anonymous investor.
Spotonchain wrote:
“Is that you, Justin? You seem focused on reforming the Ethereum Foundation, aiming to push ETH to $10K!”
More institutions are accumulating $ETH!
In the past 19 hours, 5 wallets (likely one entity) deposited 29.2M $USDT to #HTX and withdrew 9,018 $ETH at ~$3,237.5 during the dip.
Interestingly, these wallets withdrew the $USDT from HTX on Nov 20, 2024, holding it for 2 months… pic.twitter.com/7sEByhpb6z
