Trump-Linked PAC Liquidates $4.3M Ethereum at 55% Loss: Inside the Panic Sell-Off That Rocked ETH Markets

BREAKING: Trump Group's "Panic Sell" Exposed — Here's How It Fueled Ethereum's 12% Plunge

Blockchain analysts have identified wallet activity tracing to the Trump-affiliated WLFI PAC executing a massive 1,240 ETH liquidation at 3,120—∗∗553,120—∗∗556,900. The $4.3M fire sale coincided with:

• A 90-minute ETH price freefall to $2,920
• $200M in leveraged long positions liquidated
• Fears of political blowback from Biden's new crypto tax proposal

"This wasn't just bad timing — it's a red flag about institutional behavior in election years," warns Chainalysis veteran Mara Klemens. "When politically-exposed entities dump assets this aggressively, retail gets trampled."

The $4.3M Transaction That Exposed Cracks in ETH's Foundation

   • 1:19 PM: ETH/USD breaches critical $3,150 support level
2. Political Powder Keg
   The sell-off came just hours after Biden campaign officials hinted at "crypto accountability measures for dark money groups" — a direct shot at pro-Trump PACs."This looks like preemptive damage control," says DC lobbyist Greg Pratt. "PACs are scrambling to reduce crypto exposure before new disclosure rules drop."
