- Trump Media files for crypto ETFs focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- Crypto.com partnership enables staking rewards in new Trump Media ETFs.
- Proposed ETFs offer exposure to digital assets and staking income.
Trump Media & Technology Group, led by President Donald Trump, has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch two new cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These funds, named the Truth Social Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) ETF and the Truth Social Cronos (CRO) Yield Maximizer ETF, aim to offer investors exposure to leading digital assets. As of now, the filing is under SEC review and has yet to take effect.
A Focus on Bitcoin, Ether, and Staking Rewards
The Truth Social Bitcoin and Ether ETF will focus on tracking the performance of Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. In addition to price tracking, the fund also intends to capture staking rewards generated by Ethereum. Meanwhile, the Truth Social Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF will focus on Crypto.com’s native token, CRO, while also incorporating staking rewards.

The funds will be developed in collaboration with Crypto.com, which is expected to provide services such as custody, liquidity, and staking, provided the SEC approves the products. Investors will be able to access these ETFs through Crypto.com’s broker-dealer arm, Foris Capital US LLC. Each of the proposed ETFs is expected to have a management fee of 0.95%.
Trump Media’s Expanding Role in the Crypto Market
This latest move is part of Trump Media’s broader strategy to expand into the cryptocurrency space. The company has already forged a partnership with Crypto.com and Yorkville America Digital to launch “Made in America” ETFs that blend digital assets with traditional securities. Additionally, Trump Media has teamed up with Crypto.com to form a joint treasury entity, aimed at accumulating CRO tokens, starting with an initial purchase of 684.4 million CRO tokens, worth approximately $105 million.
Trump Media’s push into the digital asset market reflects a growing interest in cryptocurrency investment opportunities, particularly in the face of market volatility. Although spot Bitcoin ETFs have faced recent outflows, the launch of these funds could tap into the increasing demand for cryptocurrency-linked investment products. If approved, these ETFs would offer investors a way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency market while benefiting from staking rewards.
