Trump ETF Initiative Now in Nevada
Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social’s parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), has taken a concrete step toward the digital asset market. The company filed applications in Nevada for two cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) named “Truth Social Bitcoin ETF” and “Truth Social Ethereum ETF.” Subsequently, on June 5, 2025, these two ETFs were officially registered as “local business trusts.” This registration is considered one of the most fundamental steps required for the funds to operate within a legal framework.
This move is part of TMTG’s strategy to integrate into the crypto market. The management of the ETFs is handled by Yorkville America Digital, which previously worked with TMTG.
The main goal is to provide investors with direct access to Bitcoin and Ethereum, making entry into the crypto market easier. All these efforts support the company’s aim to develop digital financial products under the “Truth.Fi” brand. TMTG had previously filed trademarks for similar financial products.
Trump Enters Crypto Market with Yorkville Partnership
The partnership with Yorkville America Digital is notable. On June 3, 2025, Yorkville submitted Form 19b-4 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the listing of the Truth Social Bitcoin ETF on NYSE Arca. This filing proposes a rule change. The SEC must respond within 240 days.
Additionally, Yorkville also submitted Form S-1, which includes all structural details of the ETF, to the SEC. Contrary to the usual filing order, the S-1 was submitted after Form 19b-4 in this process. Nevertheless, both filings are crucial parts of the regulatory process.
However, SEC approval is mandatory for these steps to come into effect. U.S. laws require regulatory compliance for ETF products to be traded. At this point, the influence of the Trump family in the crypto market is also taken into account. Trump’s previous memecoin launches and crypto-friendly statements have sparked conflict-of-interest debates.
In summary, TMTG’s Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF applications mark an important step for the company in the digital economy. Still, the products’ availability to investors will depend on regulatory approvals and market conditions.
