Trump-Linked Wallet Buys Ethena as $ENA Gains Traction – Is Wall Street Pepe Next?

The $ENA utility token underpinning crypto-native synthetic dollar protocol Ethena has risen 13% in the last seven days, outperforming market leaders Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH) over the same period. These gains are largely thought to be the result of a $12 million altcoin shopping spree by Donald Trump’s crypto project World Liberty Financial over the last week, which was followed by a $500,000 investment in Ethena on Sunday. Trump's World Liberty( @worldlibertyfi ) spent 250K $USDC to buy 134,216 $ONDO 2 hours ago. Since Nov 30, #WorldLiberty has spent: 30M $USDC to buy 8,105 $ETH at $3,701; 10M $USDC to buy 103 $cbBTC at $97,181; 2M $USDC to buy 78,387 $LINK at $25.5; 2M $USDC to buy 6,137 $AAVE at… pic.twitter.com/0EVPCgMdMW — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) December 16, 2024 Ethena’s heavyweight backing isn’t the only reason $ENA is doing well, though. Looking at recent numbers, Ethena has outperformed the market leaders over the last fortnight and month too. $ENA rallied 36% in the last fourteen days and 100% over the last month. Bitcoin, which has had a better end of year than many expected, only rallied 12.2% and 17.4% over the respective periods. Ethereum rallied 10.4% over the fortnight and 28% over the month. However, Ethena’s surge is now cooling off. The token dropped 1.5% overnight and currently trades at $1.15. Meanwhile, Bitcoin added 3.4% to $106,983, while Ethereum rose 2.8% to $3,999. Ethena’s trading chart over the last three months shows just how rapidly $ENA has been climbing since late November, with both resistance (red line) and support (green line) shooting up in parallel. Source: TradingView The token’s 30-day moving average is higher than its current price, and its relative strength index is falling from the already-low 43, which indicates continued selling pressure that should rebound overnight as dip buyers a re-buyers take up position to help $ENA consolidate its position before the next leg up.
