The Financial Times reports that Democratic lawmakers are preparing a significant congressional investigation into former President Donald Trump's crypto ventures and associated entities, including 
World Liberty Financial. According to Crypto Economy, the planned oversight includes subpoenas, accounting-record requests and possible witness interviews under oath; no completed investigative action is described.
Committee assignments could determine which oversight authorities become involved. Crypto Economy names Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia among the designated representatives for key committees, adding that lawmakers intend to activate those bodies and question witnesses under oath. The outlet also situates the move within the change in the legislative balance following the November 3, 2026 elections.
Cryptopolitan focuses more heavily on the market reaction to Democrats taking control of both chambers of Congress. It reports that 
Official Trump, or TRUMP, fell by more than 15% over 24 hours, touched a new all-time low of $1.22 and traded around $1.27 at the time of its coverage. Its account links the accelerated selling to the congressional result, while Crypto Economy concentrates on the prospective documents and testimony involved in the probe.
Live data show that the broader crypto market has not followed the tokens' downward path. Total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.75 trillion and the overall market is broadly up, with 
Bitcoin gaining 2.30% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index is 50, classified as neutral, providing a contrasting backdrop to the sharper declines in the two Trump-linked tokens.
TRUMP is currently priced at $1.26, down 14.69% over 24 hours and 24.73% over seven days, with a $356.17 million market capitalization. WLFI trades at $0.04659713, down 7.78% over 24 hours and 9.28% over seven days, with a $1.48 billion market capitalization. What to watch is whether the planned subpoenas and record requests become formal congressional actions, alongside whether the token declines persist against a broadly higher market.
Why the difference matters
At stake is whether political control translates into enforceable scrutiny of financial records and testimony tied to Trump's crypto businesses. The simultaneous weakness in TRUMP and WLFI gives the story an immediate market dimension, although broader crypto prices are holding up rather than moving in tandem.
Since this brief published about 13 hours ago, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has moved from ₹4.41$0.0466 to ₹4.20$0.0444 — -4.76%, a notable move.
The chart plots WLFI's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 WLFI ≈ ₹4.65 (about $0.0444), down 10.3% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 10.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
