Once hyped as the clear L1 pick for institutions, the token has been in free fall since Eric Trump\u2019s ill-fated \u201cadd $ETH\u201d mantra at $3,400. Now it\u2019s sitting at $1,550, dragging investors with it.<\/p>\n<p>Hovering over this disaster is the storm of Trump\u2019s trade policies.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JUST IN: Stock market bounces back while more than 50 countries, including Japan and the EU, have contacted the United States to negotiate deals on tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump effect at work. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lXzqEepZtH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/lXzqEepZtH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/libsoftiktok\/status\/1909330874052534396?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">April 7, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">On February 3, 2025, Eric Trump took to Twitter (now X) to share his optimistic take on Ethereum, stating, \u201cIt\u2019s great to add $ETH. You can thank me later.\u201d Initially, the announcement gave ETH a brief 25% boost, but the rally quickly faded as broader economic fears mounted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">Critics have since scrutinized his advice, with some claiming it was tone-deaf at best and manipulative at worst.\u00a0 Further fueling skepticism, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), an investment firm managed by Eric Trump, sold $175 million worth of ETH shortly after his tweet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/bitcoin-critic-peter-schiff-regrets-missing-the-bull-boat-btc-to-100000-next\/\">Peter Schiff<\/a>, a renowned gold enthusiast and frequent critic of the Trump family, mocked followers of Eric\u2019s advice, remarking, \u201cYes, it\u2019s best not to take any investment advice from the Trumps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chris Bakke, a tech investor, drove the point home with a biting comment, \u201cIf you invested $100,000 in ETH at the time of this post, you\u2019d have $46,782 and be divorced by now.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-bold text-body leading-[24px] pt-[12px] pb-[2px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px]\">The Impact of Tariff Fears on Crypto<\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum\u2019s slide owes plenty to outside forces. Hours before Eric Trump dropped that ill-fated tweet, his father\u2019s administration stirred economic unrest with tariff threats that sent markets scrambling. High-risk assets like crypto didn\u2019t stand a chance in the chaos.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not the first time Trump-adjacent tokens have burned investors. The pump-and-dump spectacle of TRUMP and MELANIA coins lingers, leaving the crypto world suspicious of anything tied to the family name.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/analysis\/top-solana-projects\/\">The Best Utility Projects on Solana Crypto in April 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-bold text-body leading-[24px] pt-[12px] pb-[2px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Lessons From the Eric Trump Crypto Post<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_223541\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-223541\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-223541\" src=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ETHUSDT_2025-04-08_05-41-28-1024x532.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ETHUSDT_2025-04-08_05-41-28-1024x532.png 1024w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ETHUSDT_2025-04-08_05-41-28-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ETHUSDT_2025-04-08_05-41-28-768x399.png 768w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ETHUSDT_2025-04-08_05-41-28-1536x798.png 1536w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ETHUSDT_2025-04-08_05-41-28.png 2048w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ETHUSDT_2025-04-08_05-41-28-50x26.png 50w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ETHUSDT_2025-04-08_05-41-28-308x160.png 308w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ETHUSDT_2025-04-08_05-41-28-350x182.png 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-223541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/chart\/A4aJB7ow\/?symbol=BINANCE%3AETHUSDT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ETHUSDT<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Eric Trump\u2019s Ethereum cheerleading is now a case study in overhyped investment calls.
