Odaily reports: Several partnership plans previously announced by the Trump family's crypto project World Liberty Financial have yet to materialize, including having Aave support its lending market, using Ethena's stablecoin as collateral, and bringing tokenized U.S. Treasuries and equities onto the World Liberty platform through Ondo.According to Nansen and Arkham data, the "strategic token reserve" previously established by World Liberty has also undergone significant changes, with most of its holdings of LINK, AAVE, ENA, and MOVE subsequently transferred or disposed of, and some assets moved into centralized exchange accounts. Nansen analysis shows that after World Liberty's token purchases were detected on-chain, the relevant tokens typically rose 10% to 26% within a day, but most of those gains failed to hold.World Liberty stated that the company continuously adjusts its strategy based on market changes and business priorities, and emphasized that it has no connection to decision-making by the Trump administration.

Additionally, Exodus processed $347 million in transactions in April, while its monthly active users remained stable at 1.5 million—nearly unchanged from March.
According to chart analysis released by independent analyst Markus Thielen on May 18, the 30-day moving average of daily net inflows into ETH ETFs over the past year has been highly synchronized with Ethereum’s price movement, making institutional fund flows a core driver of ETH’s price. However, as U.S. 10-year Treasury yields rise above 4.6% and inflation accelerates again, Ethereum’s ~2.5% net staking yield is losing appeal relative to risk-free assets. Since May, ETH ETFs have seen renewed net outflows; if this trend persists, Ethereum’s price is highly likely to remain in a range-bound consolidation pattern.
