TLDR:

  • Truth Social proposes ETF with BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and CRO under Form S-1 filing.

  • ETF aims to list on NYSE Arca with Bitcoin holding a 70% allocation in the trust.

  • The filing marks a rare crypto move by a nontraditional tech-media platform.

  • SEC approval could pave the way for altcoin inclusion in future crypto ETFs.

Truth Social, the social media platform backed by Donald Trump, has filed for a crypto-focused ETF that targets major digital assets. 

According to a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the product will offer exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana (SOL), XRP, and Cronos (CRO). The filing, submitted under Form S-1, marks a rare move by a nontraditional tech player entering the crypto ETF market. 

Analysts say this move could reshape how institutional and retail investors view crypto-based ETFs. The trust is named “Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETF, B.T.” and is sponsored by Yorkville America Digital.

Truth Social ETF Structure Targets Leading Crypto Assets

The proposed ETF will operate as a passive investment vehicle. Its assets will be weighted toward Bitcoin at 70%, followed by Ethereum at 15%, SOL at 8%, CRO at 5%, and XRP at 2%. All digital holdings will be managed by a qualified custodian on behalf of the trust. 

According to the filing, any changes to these allocations will require regulatory approval and will be disclosed to investors.

The trust will issue and redeem shares in blocks of 10,000, known as baskets. These shares will be tradable on the NYSE Arca, pending approval. Transactions will initially involve only cash, although in-kind redemptions may be introduced later, depending on regulatory clearance.

Market Momentum and Bullish Speculation Rise

The filing comes amid a broader wave of institutional interest in digital assets. 

AlvaApp noted that ETF inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum have picked up pace recently, reflecting growing confidence among large investors. With Truth Social stepping in, lesser-traded coins like SOL, XRP, and CRO are also drawing speculative momentum.

Wu Blockchain, a crypto-focused news source, highlighted the unusual nature of the filing given Truth Social’s background. The application, however, could open doors for similar entries by media-linked or tech platforms exploring blockchain opportunities.

Possible Shift in ETF Landscape

If the SEC approves the application, the move could accelerate broader acceptance of altcoin-based ETFs. 

Analysts suggest that the inclusion of non-BTC assets in an ETF structure might signal a more flexible stance from regulators. It also expands opportunities for investors to gain diversified crypto exposure through a single product.

Although the SEC has not yet commented, market participants are watching the review process closely. The combination of established and emerging crypto assets could signal a shift in how ETFs structure digital exposure. 

The trust’s launch date remains subject to regulatory timelines.
