Donald Trump’s DeFi project World Liberty Financial continues fresh crypto, acquiring another 541,242 SEI coins. This news was enough to push the SEI price up by 7.3% while the broader crypto market consolidates. The recent acquisition comes despite the Trump portfolio for digital assets sitting on a $124 million loss.
SEI Price Rallies After Donald Trump’s DeFi Project Investment
Amid the week of strong crypto market correction, the SEI price has bounced back from the bottom of $0.18, thereby gaining an additional 7% today, and inching closer to $0.20 levels. Also, the daily trading volume for SEI has shot up by 17% to more than $127 million, showing a strong bullish sentiment for the altcoin.
The recent SEI price pump comes as Donald Trump’s blockchain-focused venture, World Liberty Financial, has made another significant investment, purchasing 541,242 SEI tokens for $100,000 USDC at an average price of $0.185, as data from Spot On Chain.
The project’s total SEI holdings now stand at 1.089 million tokens, acquired at a cumulative cost of $225,000. However, due to the recent market fluctuations, their current value has dropped slightly to $207,000. The Trump portfolio, which holds a total of 9 crypto tokens, is currently sitting at a cumulative loss of $124 million on its investment value of close to $340 million.

On the technical chart, SEI price is positioning for a potential short-term breakout from its descending triangle pattern on the hourly chart. A decisive rebound from key resistance zones could trigger a substantial price movement.
