Trump Family Reduces Stake in World Liberty Financial Amid Stablecoin Launch

The Trump family's investment vehicle, DT Marks DeFi LLC, has quietly reduced its stake in World Liberty Financial from 60% to 40%, marking the latest in a series of divestments since the crypto platform's launch in September 2024. The undisclosed sale, which could have netted approximately $190 million, follows earlier reductions from an initial 75% holding.

World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture backed by the Trump family, has raised over $550 million through token sales and recently launched a dollar-linked stablecoin. The platform generated $57.4 million in revenue for the Trump family in the 12 months ending December 2024.

The timing of the stake reduction coincides with mounting congressional scrutiny over President Trump's ties to the crypto industry. Lawmakers are calling for investigations into potential conflicts of interest as the administration navigates cryptocurrency regulation.
