Trump Media & Technology Group, operated by Donald Trump, filed for a multi-asset crypto ETF partnering with Yorkville America Digital in the U.S.
The ETF filing underscores potential shifts in crypto investment strategies as Trump Media aims to incorporate Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies into a single financial product.
Trump Media & Technology Group, led by Donald Trump, has filed for a multi-asset crypto ETF with partners Yorkville America Digital and Crypto.com in the United States. Official reports document the filing through an S-1 registration statement with the U.S. SEC. The ETF aims to allocate 70% Bitcoin (BTC), 15% Ethereum (ETH), 8% Solana (SOL), 5% Cronos (CRO), and 2% XRP.
Yorkville America Digital sponsors the ETF while Foris DAX Trust Company, affiliated with Crypto.com, manages the custody of the assets. The filing makes no mention of social media announcements from Trump or company officers regarding this initiative. Market reaction includes a modest rise in Trump Media stock, which increased about 3% following the news, while market liquidity for associated cryptocurrencies remains unaffected.
If approved, the ETF could influence institutional approaches to crypto assets substantially, especially as no similar “blue chip” ETF has yet been approved in the U.S. Yorkville Digital and Crypto.com’s involvement marks significant institutional interest in regulated crypto investment vehicles.
The proposal’s diverse crypto allocation presents both opportunities and speculative risks given the inclusion of volatile altcoins such as SOL and CRO.
Donald J. Trump, Founder, Trump Media & Technology Group, “Earlier this year, Trump Media signed a binding agreement with Crypto.com and asset management firm Yorkville America Digital to launch a series of ETFs, which are expected to comprise various digital assets and securities with a ‘Made in America’ focus.”
Past attempts by Trump Media to list Bitcoin ETFs this year remain under review with the SEC, as do other similar efforts by competing issuers. The next step for this filing involves further regulatory scrutiny by the SEC, potentially impacting future market adoption and ETF operational timelines. Historical approval of spot ETFs has previously led to significant trading activity spikes. The exact timing of the SEC decision remains unknown, pending additional regulatory processes and review of related financial disclosures.
