DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

Senators John Kennedy (R-La.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) introduced the Open Courts Act of 2026 to replace PACER and CM/ECF with a free, modern system featuring easy searches, APIs, and strong cybersecurity. The bill ends per-page fees that bring in $140 million yearly, shifting funding to surcharges on heavy users and agency fees to save taxpayers over $60 million annually. Kennedy called PACER an 'old, clunky government website' that burdens people, while advocates praise it as a long-overdue upgrade after past bills stalled. Legal journalists and groups welcomed the move, though experts note it won't solve all access issues like sealed records.
