EOS Rebranding To Vaulta Attracts $2.99 Million from Trump-linked World Liberty Financial

EOS captured financial headlines this week after World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto fund reportedly linked to Trump interests, invested $2.99 million to acquire EOS tokens. This transaction marks WLFIs inaugural investment in the digital asset.

The purchase of the BNB Smart Chain version of EOS was reportedly carried out via PancakeSwap at an exchange rate of $0.82 per token. This strategic acquisition occurs just before EOS undertakes a significant rebranding initiative to transform into Vaulta, a platform designed to focus on Web3 digital banking.

EOS Price Analysis: Technical Momentum Meets Overbought Signals

Following the acquisition, EOS spiked over 11%, currently trading at $0.8522, with volume surging nearly 33%, CoinMarketCap data shows.

The token saw a notable bounce off the Fib 0.618 support ($0.72) and attempted a breakout above the 1.618 Fibonacci extension ($0.867), suggesting bullish momentum, albeit tempered by recent MACD consolidation and a high Balance of Power (BoP) reading of 0.77, indicating potential overbought conditions.

The WLFI purchase has stirred speculation, especially as EOS has struggled with declining usage–only 2.8K daily active users and $690 million locked in DeFi–despite raising $4.6 billion in its ICO.

WLFIs unusual bet on EOS, a chain it previously avoided in favor of Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain, raises questions about insider insights or speculative positioning ahead of the Vaulta rollout.

Vaulta Set for May 2025 Launch with Full Financial Ecosystem

Vaulta, set to launch by the end of May 2025, aims to be more than a rebrand. It promises a full financial ecosystem with digital banking solutions, expert advisory from its newly formed Vaulta Banking Advisory Council, and collaborations with firms like Ceffu and Blockchain Insurance Inc.

EOS holders can swap their tokens for Vaulta via over 140 exchanges, including Binance, where EOS still maintains strong liquidity.

As traders eye the $1.00 psychological level and 2.618 Fib target ($1.00), EOS/Vaulta remains one of the most-watched speculative plays this month. However, with past WLFI acquisitions like MOVE ending in losses, caution remains necessary.
