Trump-Affiliated WLFI Fuels SEI Rally With New Purchase
New blockchain data suggests that World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto initiative tied to the Trump family, has made a notable move into altcoins by acquiring millions of SEI tokens.
The purchase was flagged by Arkham Intelligence, which tracks on-chain transactions in real time.
According to their analysis, WLFI spent 775,000 USDC to acquire approximately 4.89 million SEI tokens, securing them at an average rate of $0.158 per token. Since the acquisition became public, SEI’s market price has climbed to around $0.175, reflecting a modest gain and sparking broader interest in the token.
The announcement appears to have triggered a surge in trading activity, pushing SEI up by roughly 13% within a single day. The token, which powers a Layer 1 blockchain built for speed and affordability, currently has a market cap nearing $853 million.
This isn’t the first time WLFI has been connected to SEI. Records show that the project’s associated crypto wallet now holds around 5.9 million SEI in total. The organization had previously been linked to SEI holdings, suggesting a longer-term interest in the network.
Meanwhile, Arkham Intelligence recently raised eyebrows by suggesting that WLFI may have sold off a significant amount of Ethereum amid recent market volatility. However, WLFI representatives pushed back against the claim, denying any such selloff occurred.
With Trump’s crypto venture making waves in the altcoin market, SEI’s price movement and growing on-chain activity are likely to remain in the spotlight.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
