Much of this is due to the impact Trump’s trade tariffs have had on crypto markets.In addition to ETH, WBTC, and USDT, World Liberty also holds 40 million <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/justin-sun-raises-stake-in-world-liberty-financial-to-75m/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tron</a> (TRX) tokens worth $10 million, 10 billion WhiteRock (WHITE) worth $3.4 million, and a handful of more obscure tokens such as ONDO, COLLE, GROK, and HOPPY.Ethereum remains the industry standard for DeFi, with a 52.6% market share of total value locked, <a href="https://defillama.com/chain/Ethereum" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">according</a> to DeFiLlama.&nbsp;It has lost some ground to Solana recently, which has seen its DeFi market share increase to 8.4% with a TVL of $9 billion.However, Solana took a massive hit recently as the <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/solana-price-craters-40-from-january-high-as-meme-coin-bubble-bursts/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">meme coin bubble burst</a> because the network was primarily used to mint and trade the tokens.<h2 id="eth-price-reaction">ETH Price Reaction</h2>ETH has woken up over the past 12 hours, gaining just over 6% to reclaim $2,300 during Asian trading on Thursday.Nevertheless, the asset fell to a <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/ethereum-tanks-to-16-month-low-as-analysts-predict-plunge-to-1200/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">16-month low</a> of just over $2,000 earlier this week when analysts warned of a huge collapse in ETH prices if the head and shoulders chart pattern breaks down.Currently, ETH appears to have bounced off support and is edging higher though it remains down 16% over the past fortnight.The post <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/eth-holdings-of-trump-backed-defi-project-world-liberty-finance-soar/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH Holdings of Trump-Backed DeFi Project World Liberty Finance Soar</a> appeared first on <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CryptoPotato</a>.
