- Trump-backed ETF includes XRP, signaling major institutional shift in crypto investment.
- XRP gains ETF exposure as regulatory clarity and banking use cases expand.
- Crypto analyst claims Trump’s XRP move could reshape entire digital asset market.
Truth Social’s parent firm has filed for a new cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF), with XRP listed among its portfolio assets. The filing was submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, 2025, under the name “Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETF, B.T.”
The proposed ETF will include five digital assets: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cronos (CRO), and Ripple (XRP). According to the likely prospectus, the portfolio weighting will be 70 percent Bitcoin, 15 percent Ethereum, 8 percent Solana, 5 percent Cronos, and 2 percent XRP.
It is designed as an open-ended passive investment trust, but the ETF will continuously roll out shares to be traded on the NYSE Arca.

Serving as the official sponsor of the Trust, Yorkville America Digital, LLC has appointed Foris DAX Trust Company, LLC as the digital asset custodian. It is confirmed that the Trust will not form part of the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Commodity Exchange Act.
Instead, it will be free of those regulatory categories, giving it more freedom in structure and operation.
Analyst Points to XRP Inclusion as Institutional Signal
The move has stirred speculation throughout the crypto community, particularly following a viral post on platform X by crypto analyst Pumpius (@Pumpius). In the post, he wrote, “ TRUTH SOCIAL FILES FOR AN XRP ETF. Trump just made a move that could shake the entire crypto hierarchy.”
According to Pumpius, the ETF signals a significant shift in how XRP may be perceived within traditional finance. He added, “The likely next President of the United States… is creating a gateway for Wall Street and Main Street to invest in XRP — legally, institutionally, publicly.”

The fact that XRP will feature in a federally approved ETF has seen speculative arguments that institutional adoption is inevitable.
Driven by rising interest in using digital currency across banking infrastructure and digital identity protocols, XRP’s inclusion in the ETF reflects broader adoption trends.
Although its share of the fund is low, analysts consider that it has found its way into the fund, which is a pivotal point in positioning regulations and gaining investors’ access.
Authorized participants will be the only group of people who will create or redeem shares by the Trust. The redemptions will be on a cash basis only, and custom custodians will manage the digital assets.
Any modification to the portfolio mix will have to be made, and regulatory approval will have to be given.
Conclusion
Trump-linked Truth Social’s decision to include XRP in its crypto ETF has attracted attention from market observers and analysts. With XRP’s regulatory status becoming clearer and institutional interest increasing, its place in the ETF could mark the beginning of broader financial system integration.
