DT Marks DEFI LLC, affiliated with the Trump family, has reduced its stake in World Liberty Financial from 60% to about 40%. This change comes amid increased scrutiny from lawmakers concerning Trump's connections to the crypto project. The reduction signifies a potential shift in the family's involvement with the decentralized finance (DeFi) entity, especially as the U.S. Congress considers the GENIUS Act, which aims to regulate stablecoins. The Trump family and associates previously held 22.5 billion WLFI tokens and received 75% of token sale proceeds. Trump earned an estimated $57 million from token sales in June 2025. The Senate investigation, led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, raised concerns over transparency regarding Trump’s financial ties to World Liberty Financial, pressing for clearer insights into the relationship between the former President and the crypto project, given its implications for financial regulation and oversight.
