If you invested $1,000 in Ethereum when Eric Trump called to buy, you’d now have this much
Eric Trump has taken a victory lap on social media after Ethereum’s (ETH) recent surge, revisiting his February call to buy the cryptocurrency at $2,900.
“How am I doing now @AshleyDCan? You really ought to get out of this business…” Trump posted on August 13, 2025, alongside a screenshot of Ethereum’s price chart.
The post was aimed at political and cypto commentator Ashley D. C., who on June 3, 2025, mocked Trump’s earlier advice, writing:
“If you trust Eric Trump just remember he told you to buy ETH at $2,900 before he used you as exit liquidity.”
At the time of Ashley’s tweet, Ethereum was trading at $1,573, near its lowest point of the year.
Ethereum price analysis
As of August 14, 2025, ETH is trading at $4,702, marking a 62.14% gain since Trump’s initial call in February 3 and 198.93% rise since Ashley’s dig in early June.
In my opinion, it’s a great time to add $ETH.
If you had invested $1,000 when Trump first called to buy at $2,900 on February 3, your position would now be worth $1,621. Had you waited until Ashley’s comment at $1,573, that same $1,000 would have grown to $2,989, almost triple your money in just over two months.
Ethereum’s rally has been fueled by record ETF inflows, rising institutional interest, and strong on-chain activity, pushing it toward the $5,000 level for the first time in history.
