Trump Media’s “Yuge” Crypto ETF Plan: Make Investing Great Again?
In a move straight out of a reality TV plot twist, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the folks behind Truth Social and Truth+, have inked a deal with Crypto.com and Yorkville America Digital to launch “America First” exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These ETFs, under the Truth.Fi brand, promise to blend digital assets with a patriotic portfolio of “Made in America” securities—think energy, industry, and maybe a sprinkle of MAGA magic.
TMTG’s CEO Devin Nunes called it a “tremendous” step into financial services, while Crypto.com’s Kris Marszalek boasted about bridging crypto and traditional finance. Yorkville’s Troy Rillo chimed in, hyping the ETFs as a “significant milestone” for investors who love America and, apparently, blockchain. The funds, pending regulatory approval, are slated to hit markets in the U.S., Europe, and Asia later this year, with TMTG even dipping its own cash reserves into the mix via Charles Schwab.
But wait—there’s more! Truth.Fi is also rolling out Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) for those who want their investments as bespoke as a Trump-branded steak. With up to $250 million on the line, TMTG’s betting big on this FinTech glow-up. Will these ETFs make investors’ portfolios “yuge,” or is this just another flashy tweet in financial form? Stay tuned for the market’s verdict.
