Trump Media files for new Bitcoin, Ethereum ETFs in president’s ongoing crypto blitz

President Donald Trump isn’t slowing down with his crypto business ventures, with the US leader’s company filing for two new ETFs.

Truth Social Funds, an ETF issuer from Trump Media and Technology Group, of which the president is majority owner, announced Friday that it had filed for a Bitcoin-Ethereum fund and crypto yield ETF.

The crypto yield product, dubbed the “Truth Social Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF”, will give investors exposure to the performance of CRO, the native token of Cronos. The Bitcoin and Ethereum fund, the “Truth Social Bitcoin and Ether ETF”, will track the two biggest cryptocurrencies.

Crypto exchange Crypto.com is working with Trump Media to debut the products, the announcement said.

Last year, the president’s company made a deal with Crypto.com to debut ETFs. Some criticised the move following news that 70 billion previously destroyed CRO tokens would be reissued. Trump Media also last year said it would start a CRO digital asset treasury.

The crypto ETF market is already a crowded one, popular products by top asset managers BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale already on the market. Trump Media last year filed for another Bitcoin ETF and a fund tracking a basket of cryptocurrencies.

“These two digital asset ETFs have a strong value proposition that Crypto.com is supportive of and look forward to providing traders access to,” Crypto.com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek said in a statement.

Trump Media did not immediately respond to questions from DL News but the filings come as the Trump family continue their push into the crypto world, with a dizzying amount of ventures.

Some have sparked backlash, though, with Democrats criticising the business moves and accusing the president’s family of lining its pockets.

The Wall Street Journal in January reported that the Trump Administration agreed to give the UAE access to American-made AI chips in return for investment in World Liberty Financial, a decentralised finance product backed by Trump and his sons.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
