Donald Trump's media company has filed for a Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF), prompting fresh concerns over potential conflicts of interest as the U.S. President remains active in both politics and cryptocurrency ventures.
Trump Media, the parent company of social platform Truth Social, announced on Monday it had submitted a registration statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF.
According to the filing, the proposed Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF would allocate 75% of its assets to Bitcoin and 25% to Ether, aiming to mirror the price performance of the two leading cryptocurrencies.
The firm named Crypto.com as the exclusive custodian, prime execution agent, and liquidity provider, also covering staking services. Trading of ETF shares is set to begin on the NYSE Arca stock exchange, pending SEC approval and rule change authorization.
Trump Media operates a broader ecosystem of digital products, including the Truth Social network, the streaming service Truth+, and the financial technology brand Truth.Fi.
