Trump Media Partners with Crypto.com to Launch Crypto ETFs

Through a partnership with Crypto.com, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) intends to launch a number of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for digital assets. The ETFs will be introduced under TMTG’s fintech brand, Truth.Fi, in collaboration with broker-dealer Foris Capital of Crypto.com.

The ETFs will have a “Made in America” theme, per a recent press release. They will offer a wide range of cryptocurrency assets, such as Cronos (CRO) and Bitcoin (BTC). After the announcement, CRO, the native token of the Cronos blockchain created by Crypto.com, increased by around 30%. As this is written, the CRO is worth about $0.106.

Bitcoin, meanwhile, is still trading consistently at about $88,121, solidifying its position as the leading cryptocurrency.

Pending Regulatory Approval

Although the timeframe is contingent upon regulatory approval and the completion of a formal agreement, TMTG anticipates launching the ETFs later this year.

The CEO of Crypto.com, Kris Marszalek, was thrilled about the partnership. He emphasized that more than 140 million customers will be able to access the ETFs via the Crypto.com App if they are approved.

The collaboration is in line with Trump Media’s overarching plan to increase its fintech footprint. The business is capitalizing on the rising demand for bitcoin investment choices by joining the ETF market.

Reports suggest that Marszalek met with Donald Trump in December to discuss the crypto industry’s future. The conversation covered various topics, including the concept of establishing a national Bitcoin reserve.

As the regulatory environment around digital assets evolves, this collaboration signals a significant step toward mainstream crypto adoption. The proposed ETFs could provide retail and institutional investors with easier access to diversified crypto portfolios.
