Truth Social Files for Bitcoin, Ether & Cronos Crypto ETFs
Yorkville America Equities, the asset manager behind a series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Truth Social brand, has filed registration documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for two new cryptocurrency ETFs, according to a filing submitted Friday.
The proposed ETFs, the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ether ETF, would provide investors with exposure to Bitcoin and Ether, the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Yorkville also filed for the Truth Social Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF, which would invest in and stake CRO, the native token of Crypto.com’s Cronos blockchain. The filings signal a continued expansion into the digital asset market for the politically branded investment firm.
If approved, the ETFs would be launched in partnership with Crypto.com, which is expected to serve as the digital asset custodian, liquidity provider, and staking services provider, according to the filings. The Cronos-focused ETF is notable for its inclusion of staking rewards, a feature that could position the fund as a yield-generating product in a market largely dominated by passive spot ETFs.
Both funds would be distributed through Foris Capital US LLC, the SEC-registered broker-dealer affiliated with Crypto.com. Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, first signaled its interest in the crypto market in June 2025 with a filing for a spot bitcoin ETF under the Truth Social brand. A subsequent filing in July 2025 proposed a Blue Chip Digital Asset ETF targeting a basket of large-cap altcoins. Neither of those products has yet been approved by the SEC.
The move comes as President Trump, a primary owner of Trump Media & Technology Group, faces scrutiny regarding his business ties to the crypto sector. These relationships are currently a key point of contention in the ongoing debate surrounding the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act in the U.S. Senate, legislation intended to establish a regulatory framework for U.S. Crypto markets.
