Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) to Launch Bitcoin and Pepe-Themed ETFs

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), Crypto.com and Yorkville America Digital have made a binding agreement to set up a series of stock exchange -traded funds (ETFs)

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), Crypto.com and Yorkville America Digital have reached a definitive agreement to launch a series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that combine digital assets with American industries.

These products should be introduced in the U.S. later this year pending regulatory approval and will benefit from the dynamics of the American economy and the rapidly expanding crypto sector. The funds will be offered through Crypto.com’s broker dealer arm, Foris Capital US, LLC. They combine digital assets, such as Bitcoin and the native Cronos (CRO) tokens from Crypto.com, with equities from key American sectors, including energy, manufacturing and technology.

The funds will feature a unique combination of cryptocurrencies and shares of U.S.-based companies. They are designed for investors who wish to participate in the digital asset revolution and the recovery of American industry. They will also offer investment options that align with the values of investors and support domestic innovation and growth.

The partnership combines the global reach and technology foundation of Crypto.com with the "America First" investment strategy of Yorkville America Digital to create products that bridge the gap between traditional U.S. industries and the booming world of crypto assets.

“One step closer to history - we executed in full the agreement covering our partnership with Trump Media and Technology Group, featuring global distribution of Trump Media ETFs and including $CROpowered by the leading platform bridging crypto and TradFi.”

Regulatory status, future products and potential markets for ETFs

The launch of the ETFs depends on the approval of the U.S. stock exchange regulator SEC, and the corresponding applications will be submitted shortly. Once approved, the ETFs will be accessible to the U.S. market through the Crypto.com app and existing brokerage platforms in Europe and Asia.

The collaboration will also see the introduction of a series of Truth.fi separately managed accounts (SMAs) alongside the ETFs. TMTG has pledged up to $250 million of its own barrels to invest in these products. These assets will be held in custody by Charles Schwab, highlighting the group's strong belief in the project and their commitment to financial innovation.

The planned ETFs are designed to offer investors innovative opportunities to invest in the recovery of traditional American industries and the dynamic world of digital assets.
