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.

In my opinion, it’s a great time to add $ETH.

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.
