Truth Social Files for Bitcoin ETF and Cronos Staking Fund


Yorkville America Equities submitted registration documents to the SEC on Friday for two cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds under the Truth Social brand. The filings include a #TruthSocial Bitcoin and Ether ETF alongside a Truth Social Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF that would generate returns through staking rewards.


The $BTC and $ETH fund would provide exposure to the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, with an expected 60-40 split favoring #Bitcoin. The structure aims to track performance of both assets while offering staking rewards from the Ethereum position to fund holders.


Crypto(dot)com will serve as digital asset custodian, liquidity provider, and staking services administrator for both products if approved. Foris Capital US LLC, the SEC-registered broker-dealer affiliated with Crypto(dot)com, would handle distribution responsibilities.


Crypto(dot)com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek said the company is pleased to provide custody, liquidity, and #staking services for the Truth Social Funds ETFs. He described the digital asset products as having strong value propositions that Crypto(dot)com supports.


The Cronos-focused ETF represents a notable development for its inclusion of yield-generating mechanisms. The fund would invest in and stake $CRO tokens, earning rewards by helping secure the proof-of-stake #Cronos blockchain network.


This approach could position the product differently from passive spot ETFs that dominate the current cryptocurrency fund landscape. Staking rewards provide ongoing returns separate from price appreciation, adding a yield component typically absent from basic crypto exposure products.


Truth Social first indicated its cryptocurrency investment ambitions in June 2025 with an S-1 registration statement for a spot Bitcoin #ETF.
