Truth Social’s parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), is expanding its reach into digital finance with a bold new move: the filing of an S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a “Crypto Blue-Chip” exchange-traded fund (ETF). This marks the company’s most diversified crypto ETF proposal to date and reflects an increasing push to legitimize and institutionalize digital assets under the banner of its “America First” branding.
The proposed ETF would be structured as a business trust domiciled in Nevada and actively managed by sponsor Yorkville America Digital. The fund aims to offer direct exposure to five of the most prominent cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cronos (CRO), and XRP. The planned asset distribution at launch is 70% Bitcoin, 15% Ether, 8% Solana, 5% Cronos, and 2% XRP. This allocation reflects an intentional blend of high-cap, highly liquid tokens with established track records, intended to attract investors looking for diversified exposure to the crypto market.
Custodial responsibilities would be handled by Foris DAX Trust Company, a regulated arm of Crypto.com. Foris would oversee secure storage of the fund’s digital assets and manage liquidity provisioning and staking rewards where applicable. The inclusion of staking operations signals a shift toward yield-enhancing strategies, a feature increasingly in demand from crypto ETF investors.
According to the filing, the ETF’s units would be listed for trading on NYSE Arca, pending regulatory approval of both the S-1 statement and an accompanying Form 19b-4 exchange rule change. If approved, this would make the ETF one of the few actively managed multi-asset crypto funds available to U.S. investors through traditional brokerage accounts.
This isn’t TMTG’s first foray into digital asset investment vehicles. The company has already filed proposals for both a spot Bitcoin ETF and a Bitcoin-Ether dual fund, although those applications are still pending review. The “Blue-Chip” ETF, however, represents a more ambitious and broader approach, designed to capitalize on growing investor appetite for simplified, basket-style crypto exposure without the need for direct token custody or interaction with unregulated exchanges.
TMTG’s move reflects a growing trend among politically aligned fintech ventures seeking to create financial products that resonate with ideological identities. In this case, the offering reinforces Truth Social’s alignment with technological independence, decentralization, and what it views as alternatives to traditional financial gatekeepers. By entering the crypto ETF arena, TMTG is not just diversifying its product line, it’s staking a claim on the future of regulated crypto investing under the banner of conservative economic principles.
If approved, the ETF would represent another milestone in the normalization of digital assets within the U.S. financial system. It would provide institutional and retail investors with exposure to five major cryptocurrencies, while also signaling to regulators that crypto is no longer a fringe sector, it’s becoming part of the investment mainstream.
Still, the road to approval is far from guaranteed. The SEC continues to scrutinize crypto ETFs closely, especially those involving staking and non-Bitcoin assets. Questions remain around market surveillance, custody standards, and potential conflicts of interest in fund management. Additionally, the agency has yet to approve a multi-asset spot crypto ETF in the U.S., making this proposal both innovative and risky.
Nonetheless, the filing reflects a strategic bet: that demand for regulated crypto exposure is growing and that Truth Social, through its parent company TMTG, is positioning itself to be at the center of that wave. For retail investors, it could mean easier access to a curated portfolio of leading crypto assets. For institutions, it offers a familiar framework to gain exposure without engaging directly with crypto-native platforms.
As digital assets continue to integrate with traditional finance, products like the “Blue-Chip” ETF could shape how everyday investors interact with crypto and how political brands intersect with blockchain in ways that were unthinkable just a few years ago.
