Silent selling in crypto from Trump and his family

As World Liberty Financial, announced last summer by Donald Trump, continues to move forward steadily, the Trump family is quietly reducing its shares here. It appears that another portion of shares has been sold through the company “DT Marks DEFI LLC,” owned by Donald Trump and his three sons, via a private sale method. Since World Liberty Financial is not a publicly traded company, the family has the right to make such a sale.

According to a report by Forbes from the US media, the sales information was officially disclosed on the company’s website in “small print”. In January, the family company “DT Marks DEFI LLC” reduced its stake in World Liberty from 75% to 60%. After June 8, this rate further decreased. The stake ratio dropped from 60% to 40%. This situation indicates that the Trump family has quietly reduced their stakes in the project.

Why did they reduce it?

The report does not clearly state the reason for the sale, but it seems that the recent interest in crypto companies over stablecoins and especially the record set by Circle has caused the family to want to make a profit realization.

So through closed sales, interest in crypto may have attracted the Trump family and the thought of “Let’s sell while things are going well” may have formed.

The company does not seem to have announced this sale openly and audibly due to the thought that the market could be negatively affected.

World Liberty Financial recently launched a stable coin named USD1, and a certain amount of this stable coin was distributed to WLF token holders.

The company’s own token, WLF, cannot be transferred to exchanges and cannot be sold on secondary markets. These tokens only provide certain advantages on the platform.
