- No official statements on exact transactional outcomes yet.
Donald J. Trump and his family have reduced their stake in World Liberty Financial from 60% to approximately 40% as of June 8, 2025, according to updated legal filings.
The reduction in Trump family’s stake in World Liberty Financial comes amid growing attention on the USD1 stablecoin and impending legislation.
The Trump family, through DT Marks DeFi LLC, decreased ownership in World Liberty Financial from 60% in January 2025 to about 40% by June. The divestment was not announced publicly.
The estimated reduction involved $190 million, but detailed transaction information was not disclosed. World Liberty Financial recently launched its USD1 stablecoin, which remains under regulatory scrutiny.
Market reaction has been subdued, with no direct impact on major cryptocurrencies like BTC or ETH. Industry observers focus on USD1 and associated platforms to assess potential regulatory impact.
The GENIUS Act, aiming to regulate stablecoins, awaits consideration in the House. Companies like WLF may see shifts in market dynamics based on these legislative changes. Donald J. Trump urged the chamber to pass the bill “ASAP.”
The reduction mirrors past trends of notable figures divesting pre-regulation changes. Future shifts in stablecoin markets could follow pending U.S. regulatory actions.
