Trump Media & Technology Group, associated with former US president Donald Trump, is making significant moves in the digital assets sector by applying to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for approval of two new cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Truth Social Funds, a subsidiary of Trump Media, aims to launch the Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF and a fund based on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
The first product, Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF, will focus on the CRO token, which underpins the Cronos blockchain, and will include a strategy for generating staking income. The second fund will track the performance of Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, including staking income from Ethereum.
The digital platform Crypto.com will be responsible for custody, liquidity, and staking for these funds. The structure also includes an annual management fee of 0.95%, with Yorkville America Equities participating as an investment advisor.
Previously, as part of a partnership with Crypto.com, Trump Media agreed to acquire 684.4 million Cronos (CRO) tokens at a price of $0.153 per token. The deal was 50% in stock and 50% in cash and included a plan to integrate Cronos into the company’s broader digital strategies.
The introduction of cryptocurrency ETFs is a significant step for Trump Media compared to other market players. Similar moves have previously been made by institutions such as BlackRock and Fidelity, indicating growing institutional interest in cryptocurrency products.
The launch of crypto ETFs by Trump Media strengthens the company’s position in the market.
