Trump Media Files Applications for Three Cryptocurrency ETFs with SEC

Trump Media & Technology Group, the media company owned by US President Donald Trump, has submitted applications to the Securities and Exchange Commission for three cryptocurrency-focused exchange-traded funds, according to an announcement made Friday by its Truth Social Funds division ^[1].

The proposed products include a combined Bitcoin and Ether ETF, as well as a separate fund dedicated to Cronos (CRO), the native token of Crypto.com's blockchain ^[1]. The filings remain under regulatory review and have not yet been approved.

Crypto.com would serve as a key partner for the funds, providing custody services, liquidity support, and staking capabilities if the SEC grants approval ^[1]. Investment advisory services would be handled by Yorkville America Equities, with each fund charging a 0.95% management fee ^[1].

The dual Bitcoin-Ether product aims to track price performance of both assets while capturing staking rewards from Ethereum, while the Cronos fund would similarly incorporate staking income from CRO holdings ^[1].

This filing represents Trump Media's latest expansion into digital assets, following previous announcements including a joint treasury arrangement with Crypto.com involving an initial CRO token purchase valued at approximately $105 million ^[1]. The company operates the Truth Social platform and has increasingly pursued cryptocurrency-related business ventures over the past year.
