World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project backed by President Donald Trump’s family, has acquired substantial amounts of Mantle’s MNT token following last week’s major technological upgrade of the network.<\/p>\n

WLFI purchased about 3.54 million MNT for nearly $3 million USDC for an average purchase price of 84 cents, according to data sources Lookonchain<\/a> and Arkham Intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The recent purchase has increased WLFI’s coin holdings, which include tokens like ETH, WBTC, TRX, LINK, AAVE, ENA, and others, to over $340 million. However, the Trump family-backed outlet still faced a paper loss of $111 million as of writing.<\/p>\n

MNT is the native cryptocurrency of the Mantle Network, serving as a utility token for gas fees and a governance token for the layer 2 ecosystem focused on scaling Ethereum.<\/p>\n

The Mantle Mainnet hard fork, or backwards-incompatible upgrade, took effect<\/a> on March 19, activating EigenDA<\/a> on the network. EigenDA is a secure, high-throughput, decentralized data availability service on Ethereum.<\/p>\n

The EigenDA integration is said to boost<\/a> Mantle Network’s scalability without hitting data rate limits, reportedly resulting in a 15 MB\/s throughput. In other words, the network can process more transactions per block. Additionally, the upgrade has made the Mantle Network better compatible with Ethereum’s impending Pectra upgrade.<\/p>\n

MNT traded at 6% higher on the day at 83 cents at press time, according to data sources CoinDesk and TradingView.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
