SEI Price Surge: Trump's DeFi Investment Fuels Rally
The price of SEI surged by 7.3% following a significant investment from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the decentralized finance (DeFi) project associated with Donald Trump. WLFI acquired 541,242 SEI tokens, contributing to the altcoin's upward momentum amidst a broader crypto market correction.
SEI Price Rally and Market Impact
The SEI price rebounded from a low of $0.18, reaching closer to $0.20. Daily trading volume also increased by 17% to over $127 million, indicating strong bullish sentiment. WLFI's purchase of SEI tokens at an average price of $0.185 using $100,000 USDC is a key factor driving this increase.
WLFI's total SEI holdings now amount to 1.089 million tokens, purchased for a cumulative cost of $225,000. While current market conditions have reduced their value slightly to $207,000, the investment highlights WLFI's ongoing activity in the SEI ecosystem.
It's important to note that Trump's overall crypto portfolio, encompassing nine tokens, currently shows a cumulative loss of $124 million against an initial investment value near $340 million.

WLFI's Aggressive Crypto Strategy
Despite the recent crypto market downturn, WLFI has actively expanded its portfolio, investing $21.6 million in assets including Ethereum (ETH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), Move (MOVE), and SEI. Last week alone, WLFI invested $10 million each in ETH and WBTC.
WLFI's Macro Strategy Reserve, launched in February, aims to diversify its holdings to mitigate market volatility and ensure long-term stability. This reserve is a key component of WLFI's approach to the cryptocurrency market.
Partnership with Sui
WLFI recently announced a partnership with Sui, focusing on key development opportunities and the creation of a strategic SUI reserve. This collaboration underscores WLFI's commitment to strategic partnerships within the blockchain industry.
