Truth Social Pushes Into Crypto ETFs With BTC, ETH and CRO Exposure

Trump Media Affiliate Files for Dual Crypto ETFs

The proposed products are the Truth Social Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF and the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ether ETF, according to the filing. Both funds are subject to SEC review and are not yet effective, meaning shares cannot be sold until approval is granted.

The Bitcoin and Ether ETF is designed to seek results corresponding to the combined performance of bitcoin ( BTC) and ether ( ETH), plus staking rewards associated with ETH. The allocation outlined in the filing targets roughly 60% bitcoin and 40% ethereum exposure, with staking layered on top for yield potential.

The Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF focuses on cronos (CRO), the native token of the Cronos ecosystem, and aims to capture both price performance and staking income. In short, it is not just price action — it is price action with a yield kicker.

Both ETFs will be advised by Yorkville America Equities LLC and are expected to carry a management fee of 0.95%, according to the registration materials. Shares are expected to trade on a national exchange, with creation units structured in large blocks typical of ETF mechanics.

Truth Social Funds is partnering with Crypto.com, which is expected to serve as digital asset custodian, liquidity provider, and staking services provider, subject to regulatory approval. The ETFs will be available for purchase through Crypto.com’s broker-dealer, Foris Capital US LLC.

The filings build on earlier crypto ETF proposals tied to Truth Social’s parent, Trump Media & Technology Group, which faced delays in 2025. The latest structure leans into staking, an area where regulators have shown caution, especially for funds holding assets beyond Bitcoin and Ether.

The broader backdrop is a maturing crypto ETF market, following SEC approvals of spot bitcoin funds in 2024 and ethereum products in 2025. Yet staking-enabled ETFs remain relatively rare, and altcoin-focused funds often draw closer scrutiny.

Risks outlined in the filing include market volatility, cybersecurity threats, staking-related penalties, and regulatory uncertainty. The funds also seek regulated investment company status for tax purposes, though qualification is not guaranteed.

For now, the proposal places Truth Social squarely in the ongoing debate over how far crypto ETFs can go — pure price tracking or something more yield-driven — while the SEC decides whether staking belongs inside a regulated wrapper.
