World Liberty Financial, a crypto project backed by Donald Trump, has made significant moves in the Ether market, purchasing 14,403 ETH on Jan. 19. The acquisitions , valued at $48 million, bring the platform’s total Ethereum holdings to 33,630 ETH, worth over $107 million, according to data from Arkham Intelligence. This surge in ETH accumulation comes as the ETH/BTC ratio, which measures Ether’s strength relative to Bitcoin, experienced a 0.79% increase, reaching 0.03197. This marks a slight rebound for Ethereum , which had dropped 18% against Bitcoin in the last six weeks. Speculation Grows Amid Ether Price Swings The rationale behind World Liberty Financial’s Ether purchases remains unclear. However, Eric Trump, an adviser to the platform and son of Donald Trump, hinted at forthcoming developments in a Jan. 19 X post, writing, “Wait until you see what they do tomorrow.” Amid these developments, Ether has experienced price fluctuations, trading between $3,133.98 and $3,439.78 within 24 hours. Despite this volatility, ETH price dipped 1.5% on the day, settling at $3,230, per CoinGecko. Interestingly, the token’s activity coincided with a spike in Google search trends for “Ethereum,” reaching peak popularity on Jan. 19. Memecoin Craze Adds to Market Drama The crypto market frenzy wasn’t limited to Ether. The Trump family’s recent ventures into memecoins have stirred significant attention. On the eve of his presidential inauguration, Donald Trump launched a memecoin that saw its market cap plummet by $5 billion following the debut of MELANIA, a memecoin launched by the incoming First Lady, Melania Trump. Melania’s memecoin gained remarkable traction, achieving a valuation of $6 billion within two hours of its release. The project’s website described the token as a means for supporters to express their allegiance. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s memecoin took a hit, dropping 38% in just 40 minutes, according to CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin Volatility Climbs to 6-Month High as Options Frenzy Picks Up
Bitcoin ( BTC ), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, hit a record-high above $109,000 on Monday, sending both implied volatility and realized volatility to the highest levels since August`s yen carry trade unwind. Realized volatility is the historical price fluctuations of bitcoin over the past 30 days. It hit 67 on the Bitcoin Volatility Index (BVOL) on Deribit. The Bitcoin Volmex Implied Volatility index (BVIV) hit a high of 71. Implied volatility is the market`s expectation for future price fluctuations derived from options pricing. Both indexes are up around 2% on the day. "The positive correlation between bitcoin`s price and implied volatility remains intact. It’s a sign traders are chasing options, particularly calls, as risk reversals show calls are trading at a premium relative to puts that offer downside protection," said Omkar Godbole, a markets analyst and managing editor of markets at CoinDesk In addition, short-duration calls are priced higher than longer-duration ones, a rare occurrence that indicates strong short-term bullish sentiment, according to Andre Dragosch , the European head of research at Bitwise. Open interest in options has increased by 44,000 BTC, reflecting heightened speculative activity, Dragosch noted. Traders are expecting a rapid price gain following President-elect Donald Trump`s potential announcement of a strategic bitcoin reserve. Trump`s "influential use of social media, which has historically moved markets, is adding to the uncertainty surrounding the next few days," suggests Mitch Galer, a trader at GCR. "Speculation about a strategic crypto reserve and potential deregulation, crypto markets are optimistic about further gains this year". The Coin Rise
