Trump Media Partners with Crypto.com to Launch Cryptocurrency ETFs
Trump Media and Technology Group is collaborating with Crypto.com to launch cryptocurrency ETFs. Initial plans included three ETFs: one focused on bitcoin, another on both BTC and ETH, and a third including BTC, ETH, solana, CRO, and XRP. The announcement was later revised to mention a diversified ETF basket that includes CRO.
Key points include:
- ETFs will be available through Crypto.com’s broker-dealer Foris Capital US.
- Trump Media applied for trademarks related to ETFs in February, indicating potential products like “Truth.Fi-branded ETFs.”
- Yorkville Advisors will serve as the registered investment advisor for these funds.
Industry reactions highlight the uncertainty surrounding product filings, with experts anticipating upcoming submissions. Crypto indexing is viewed as a growing trend in the market, potentially surpassing individual asset offerings in the long term.
Hashdex, which launched a crypto index ETF abroad, aims to expand its offerings in the U.S. and believes that comprehensive indexing will dominate the market in the future.
