Trump Family Reduces Stake in Controversial Crypto Venture Amid Market Surge

The Trump family has quietly reduced its stake in World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency project promoting a so-called "financial revolution" through an "upgraded" digital dollar. According to a June 19 Forbes report, their ownership dropped from 60% to 40% in an unannounced transaction over the past two weeks. The move follows earlier stake reductions, signaling a strategic retreat from the venture.

DT Marks DEFI LLC, the Trump-controlled entity behind the investment, has systematically liquidated portions of its holdings since December—when it held 75% of the project. The sales coincide with key market movements, suggesting a calculated effort to capitalize on crypto hype while maintaining minimal exposure. No regulatory disclosures accompanied the transactions, raising questions about transparency.
