- Truth Social files for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cronos ETFs with staking features.
- Trump Media deepens crypto strategy, integrating Cronos token into long-term plans.
- ETF approvals remain uncertain as SEC reviews multiple crypto filings.
Companies tied to U.S. President Donald Trump are making another push into digital assets. Specifically, Truth Social-affiliated funds filed for two new crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The latest filings deepen the brand’s ambitions in digital asset investing.
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF Back on the Table
On Friday, Yorkville America Equities submitted registration documents seeking approval for the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF. It seeks to give investors exposure to the two largest cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The fund would track the price of both assets and also earn additional returns through Ethereum staking, making it more than a simple spot ETF. The filing follows earlier Truth Social crypto ETF proposals that were delayed by the SEC. If approved, the ETF would charge a 0.95% annual management fee.

Cronos Yield ETF Targets Staking Rewards
The firm also filed for the Truth Social Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF, which would invest in and stake Cronos, the native token of Crypto.com’s Cronos blockchain.
Unlike a traditional spot ETF, the fund would aim to earn yield by staking tokens, helping secure the network while collecting rewards. This approach could make it stand out in a market mostly focused on passive crypto ETFs.
Crypto.com is expected to support both funds by providing custody, liquidity, and staking services. Distribution would be managed by Foris Capital US LLC, the SEC-registered broker-dealer linked to the exchange.
The new filings deepen the partnership between Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), parent of Truth Social, and Crypto.com.
Last year, Trump Media agreed to buy 684.4 million CRO tokens at about $0.153 each in a deal split evenly between stock and cash. The agreement also created a dedicated CRO treasury strategy, signaling plans to integrate the Cronos ecosystem into its long-term digital asset strategy.
Truth Social first outlined its crypto push in June 2025 with an S-1 filing for a spot Bitcoin ETF. It later proposed a “Crypto Blue Chip” ETF tracking major tokens such as BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and CRO. None of these products has launched yet.

Market Context: Bitcoin Below $70,000
The filings arrive as Bitcoin trades below $70,000, despite a short-term 5% gain in the past 24 hours. Analysts say the inability to break this level has kept overall market sentiment cautious.
Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) rose about 2.5% Friday to roughly $11.18 following the announcement.
Meanwhile, Trump’s growing involvement in crypto has drawn political attention. His ownership of Trump Media & Technology Group has reportedly become a factor in U.S. crypto regulatory discussions, including Senate debates on market structure legislation.
With the SEC still reviewing multiple crypto ETF proposals, the timeline for approval of the new Truth Social funds is unclear. Still, the filings show the Trump-linked brand is continuing to expand its presence in digital asset investing.
