Trump Media Announces Intention to Partner with Crypto.com to Launch ETFs
America-First Investment Funds Slated to Launch in 2025
SARASOTA, Fla., March 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:DJT) ("TMTG" or the "Company"), operator of the social media platform Truth Social, the streaming platform Truth+, and the FinTech brand Truth.Fi, has signed a non-binding agreement to partner with Crypto.com, America's premier crypto trading platform, to launch a series of exchange-traded funds and exchange-traded products (collectively, "ETFs") through the Truth.Fi brand.
The ETFs, made available through Crypto.com's broker dealer Foris Capital US LLC, are expected to comprise digital assets as well as securities with a Made in America focus spanning diverse industries such as energy. Crypto.com will support the backend technology, provide custody, and supply the cryptocurrencies for the ETFs, which are anticipated to include a unique ETF basket of cryptocurrencies incorporating Bitcoin, Cronos, and other crypto assets.
Planned to launch later this year subject to definitive agreement and regulatory approval, the funds are expected to be widely available internationally including in the United States, Europe, and Asia, across existing platforms and brokerages.
TMTG CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes said, "We're excited to join Crypto.com, along with our partner Yorkville America, to launch America First investment products supporting innovative crypto ventures, great American companies, and cutting-edge technologies. We aim to create inventive funds incorporating firms that concentrate on rapid growth, technological innovation, and strengthening the U.S. economy, unencumbered by woke nonsense and political posturing. Investors will finally have options that adhere to their principles and that support superior U.S. companies precisely focused on their core businesses."
Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, said, "We are proud to partner with Truth Social (DJT) and Yorkville America, and to support the launch of these new ETFs, including the first of its kind basket of tokens including CRO. These ETFs will give consumers more options from a brand with a loyal following. Once launched, these ETFs will be available on the Crypto.com App for our more than 140 million users around the world."
The ETFs are planned to launch alongside a slate of Truth.Fi Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs). The ETFs and SMAs, both of which TMTG is planning to invest in via its own cash reserves, are part of a TMTG financial services and FinTech strategy using up to $250 million to be custodied by Charles Schwab.
