Trump Media & Technology Group wants to launch a crypto ETF.
The company filed with the SEC this week to launch "Crypto Blue Chip ETF."
This new fund would hold bitcoin, ethereum, solana, and other crypto tokens.
Trump Media & Technology Group wants to dive deeper into crypto.
The Truth Social parent company submitted an S-1 filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, seeking approval to launch the Truth Social Crypto ETF.
The filing shows that it is sponsored by Yorkville America Digital, an asset management company based in Florida. This firm partnered with Trump Media in April 2025 to launch a series of crypto ETFs in conjunction with Crypto.com.
The possible ETF is the latest move by Trump and his companies to deepen ties to crypto. The president has launched meme coins and stablecoins and has pushed for greater adoption of crypto and government support for the space.
The passing of the GENIUS Act in June was a milestone for the industry, and top administration officials have been signaling greater support for crypto. Last month, William Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, said he had directed mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to start counting crypot as collateral when assessing mortgage risk.
Trump Media's ETF will hold most bitcoin, as well as smaller amounts of other top tokens.
"The Trust's allocation of its assets to the Portfolio Assets (the "allocation ratio") is initially expected to approximate percentages by value of 70% bitcoin, 15% ether, 8% SOL, 5% CRO and 2% XRP," the filing states.
Bitcoin has jumped 18% this year, continuing a rally to fresh records about $111,000 in recent weeks.
Shares of Trump Media were down on Wednesday, and have struggled this year as areas of the "Trump trade" that soared in the wake of the 2024 election stumble in 2025.
