Revolutionizing Investment: Crypto.com to Power Trump Media’s ETF Ventures

In a groundbreaking move set to reshape the landscape of digital asset investment,Crypto.com has announced a strategic partnership with Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), listed on Nasdaq as DJT, and Yorkville America. This collaboration aims to launch a series of TMTG-branded Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) encompassing both digital and traditional assets. Notably, the partnership plans to introduce an unprecedented ETF basket featuring a diverse range of cryptocurrencies, including Crypto.com’s native CRO token.

This initiative arrives at a time when interest in cryptocurrency ETFs is surging. Recent data indicates a significant uptick in investment in digital asset funds,with global assets under management (AUM) in crypto ETFs and ETPs reaching record highs in early 2025.This partnership seeks to capitalize on this growing demand by offering investors exposure to a curated selection of digital assets through a familiar and regulated investment vehicle.

Technical Backbone and secure Custody: Crypto.com’s Role

Crypto.com will provide the essential backend technology, leveraging its industry-recognized security certifications to ensure the integrity and reliability of the ETF operations. Moreover, the Crypto.com Custody Trust Company,a U.S.-based trust, will handle all custody requirements for the ETFs, guaranteeing the secure storage of assets.The ETFs will be accessible for purchase through Crypto.com’s broker-dealer, Foris Capital US LLC, streamlining the investment process for users.

The choice of Crypto.com as a partner underscores the increasing importance of robust security and regulatory compliance in the digital asset space. As institutional interest in cryptocurrencies grows, platforms like Crypto.com are positioning themselves as trusted gateways for traditional investors seeking exposure to this emerging asset class.

This collaboration aims to leverage TMTG’s brand recognition and loyal user base to broaden the appeal of cryptocurrency investments. By offering these etfs on the Crypto.com platform, the partnership seeks to provide access to a wider audience, including the platform’s extensive global user base.

Regulatory Path and Future Availability

Truth Social, a subsidiary of TMTG, is preparing to submit the necessary filings to the Securities and exchange Commission (SEC).
