Blockstream | Blockchain | Bitcoin | Blockchain Satellite

DT Marks DeFi LLC, a firm associated with U.S. President Donald Trump, has quietly reduced itworlds stake in the holding company behind crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLF). The firm’s equity share has dropped from 75% in December 2024 to just 40% as of June 2025.

The move comes amid growing political pressure over Trump’s crypto involvement. Since taking office in January and launching his own memecoin, Trump’s ties to digital asset firms like Binance have drawn attention from lawmakers. Crypto-themed dinners hosted by the president in May also raised concerns about possible conflicts of interest.

DT Marks DeFi remains listed as a related entity to World Liberty Financial, alongside Trump and his sons, according to SEC filings.

World Liberty Financial, launched in late 2024, runs the WLFI token and the USD1 stablecoin, which is backed by U.S. dollar reserves and was recently used in Binance’s $2 billion deal with Abu Dhabi’s MGX. As of June 19, USD1’s total supply stands at 2.2 billion.
