Trump-Linked Truth Social Furthers Push Into Crypto With Two New ETF Filings Tied To Bitcoin, Ether, And Cronos ⋆ ZyCrypto

Yorkville America Equities, the asset manager behind a string of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to U.S. President Donald Trump’s Truth Social brand, on Friday filed to list a Bitcoin and Ether ETF and a staking-focused Cronos fund.

Truth Social Seeks SEC Nod To Launch Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Cronos ETFs

The Truth Social Bitcoin and Ether ETF is a joint ETF designed to track the performance of the top two crypto assets by market cap, with a roughly 60-40 BTC-ETH split. 

The firm is also pursuing plans to introduce a Truth Social Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF, designed to invest in and track the native token of Crypto.com, which maintains a longstanding association with the Trump business network.

Crypto.com will act as the digital asset custodian, liquidity provider, and staking services provider for both the Truth Social Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF and Truth Social Bitcoin and Ether ETF.

“We are pleased to be selected to provide digital asset custody, liquidity, and staking services for these new Truth Social Funds ETFs,” said Crypto.com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek, in a statement. “These two digital asset ETFs have a strong value proposition that Crypto.com is supportive of and look forward to providing traders access to.”

The Cronos-focused ETF stands out due to its planned incorporation of staking rewards, which are generally obtained by participating in the validation process of proof-of-stake networks such as Cronos. This structure could position the fund as a yield-oriented offering in a market that remains largely dominated by passive spot ETFs.

Truth Social initially indicated its entry into the cryptocurrency investment space in June 2025 by submitting an S-1 registration statement for a spot Bitcoin ETF under its brand. This was followed by a July 2025 filing for a crypto Blue Chip ETF, which includes BTC and ETH as well as Solana (SOL), the Ripple-linked XRP, and CRO. To date, neither fund has been launched.

While the SEC has accelerated its review of cryptocurrency ETF applications, the regulator postponed decisions on several proposals — including Truth Social’s filings — in August. To date, only a limited number of funds incorporating staking mechanisms have secured approval, and ETFs tied to smaller-cap altcoins continue to face greater regulatory hurdles.

If approved, the proposed Truth Social ETFs would carry a management fee of 0.95%. Transactions for the funds would be handled through Foris Capital US LLC, the SEC-registered broker-dealer associated with Crypto.com.
