On July 8, Donald Trump’s Trump Media and Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social, filed for a Crypto Blue Chip ETF with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The latest filing comes after the SEC acknowledged Trump Media’s application for a Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded fund on July 7.
The ETF will invest in major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cronos (CRO) and Ripple (XRP). Most of the fund’s money, around 70%, will go into Bitcoin, while smaller portions will be allocated to the other coins.
This ETF will track the performance of underlying digital assets, giving investors an easy way to gain exposure to the crypto market.
The ETF will hold the cryptocurrencies directly, meaning investors won’t need to buy and store the coins themselves. Instead, they can buy shares of the ETF, which will rise or fall in value based on the performance of the underlying assets.
Crypto.com, a well-known crypto exchange, will handle the storage and trading of digital assets, as well as provide staking and liquidity services.
Before the ETF can launch, it needs approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company filed the necessary paperwork, but the process could take some time. If approved, the ETF will be listed on NYSE Arca, a stock exchange that specializes in ETFs and other investment products.
For now, investors will have to wait for regulatory approval before the ETF becomes available. If successful, the Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETF could attract both crypto enthusiasts and traditional investors looking for a simple way to diversify into cryptocurrencies.
The launch could also bring more attention to Trump Media’s other ventures, including Truth Social and its streaming and financial services platforms.
In the official statement, the company writes, “The launch of the Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETF is pending effectiveness of the Registration Statement as well as approval of a Form 19b-4 filing with the SEC. Upon launch, the Shares will be listed on NYSE Arca. Yorkville America Digital is acting as the sponsor of the ETF.”
ETFs have paved the way for the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency while diversifying their investments. Crypto ETFs are growing rapidly in popularity, especially among institutional investors who see them as a safer and more regulated way to gain exposure to digital assets.
Unlike investing directly in cryptocurrencies or actually holding them, ETFs offer a familiar investment structure. This reduces the risk of hacking or loss of private keys.
Major financial institutions, including BlackRock and Fidelity, have launched Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, attracting billions in inflows as pension funds, hedge funds, and asset managers seek crypto exposure without the operational hassles.
