Bitcoin and Ether ETF Filing Revives Expansion Plan

Trump Media submitted a new registration statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a Bitcoin and Ether ETF. The filing seeks approval before the fund can begin operations and accept capital. Trump Media had previously filed similar proposals that regulators delayed in August.

The proposed fund will provide exposure to Bitcoin and Ether, and it will incorporate network staking rewards. Yorkville America Equities will act as investment adviser and set a 0.95% annual management fee. Meanwhile, Crypto.com will handle custody, liquidity provision, and staking services.

Trump Media continues to expand beyond social media operations under the Truth Social brand. The company had signaled its crypto strategy in June with a spot Bitcoin ETF filing. However, regulatory review slowed several crypto ETF applications across the market.

Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF Targets CRO Exposure

Trump Media also filed for the Truth Social Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF, which will track Cronos, Crypto.com’s native token. The product will aim to generate returns through staking mechanisms linked to the Cronos blockchain. As a result, Trump Media deepens its commercial ties with Crypto.com.

The Cronos-based fund will also carry a 0.95% annual management fee under Yorkville America Equities’ oversight. In addition, Crypto.com’s broker-dealer, Foris Capital US LLC, will execute fund purchases. The structure mirrors earlier proposals that paired Trump Media with the same partners.

Cronos plays a central role in Crypto.com’s ecosystem and supports various blockchain services. Trump Media has previously explored token initiatives connected to its shareholder base. Therefore, the new ETF proposal aligns with broader blockchain-related initiatives linked to the company.

Regulatory Context and Corporate Background

The Securities and Exchange Commission has accelerated some crypto ETF approvals in recent months. However, the agency has delayed or rejected several staking-based and altcoin-linked products. Consequently, Trump Media’s filings will undergo further regulatory review before any launch.

Trump Media operates as the parent company of Truth Social and related ventures. Devin Nunes has served as chief executive since leaving Congress in 2021. The company has also announced an all-stock merger plan with fusion energy firm TAE Technologies.

In addition, Trump Media partnered with Crypto.com on a prediction market and a token treasury initiative. Anchorage Digital and Crypto.com both support its Bitcoin treasury operations. As Trump Media broadens its digital asset strategy, the latest ETF filings mark a renewed regulatory push.
