The purchase was made by World Liberty Financial, a defi project tied to Donald Trump, who was inaugurated today as the 47th president of the United States. Blockchain data indicates the transaction involved the acquisition of 456.777 wrapped bitcoin (WBTC), a tokenized version of bitcoin that operates on the Ethereum blockchain.

Arkham Intelligence, known for uncovering high-profile blockchain transactions, reported that the purchase was completed through an address linked to World Liberty Financial. Details about the project’s broader financial strategy and intentions behind the acquisition remain unclear.

Wrapped bitcoin (WBTC) allows bitcoin holders to participate in Ethereum-based defi protocols while maintaining exposure to the price of bitcoin (BTC). The purchase signals a significant move by World Liberty Financial into the defi sector, a space characterized by blockchain-based financial services that operate without traditional intermediaries.

Neither Trump nor representatives of World Liberty Financial have publicly commented on the transaction. The timing of the purchase, coinciding with Trump’s inauguration, has drawn attention from the cryptocurrency community, sparking discussions about potential implications for the defi ecosystem.

While World Liberty Financial’s overall plans remain undisclosed, the acquisition highlights the continued intersection of cryptocurrency and high-profile political figures, signaling potential new developments in the digital asset sector.
