Trump Media’s New Venture into ETFs
In a significant step for its recently established Truth. Fi brand, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) has entered a non-binding partnership with Crypto.com to launch a series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs).This collaboration marks TMTG’s first major initiative under the Truth. Fi banner, which aims to integrate cryptocurrency with investment strategies.
Background on Trump Media and Technology Group
For context, TMTG serves as the parent company of the Truth Social platform and the upcoming Truth Plus content streaming service. Earlier this year, the company’s board sanctioned the allocation of up to $250 million from its cash reserve, which stood at approximately $700 million, to create customized Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) alongside these new ETFs.
Shift in Partnerships
Initially, TMTG planned to collaborate with Charles Schwab and advisors linked to Yorkville America. However, the company’s latest strategy involves partnering with Crypto.com to roll out a diverse range of ETFs, while still incorporating Yorkville’s advisory services.
Role of Crypto.com in the Partnership
Under this new agreement, Crypto.com will provide crucial backend technology, upholding custody, and supply the cryptocurrencies that will comprise the ETFs. This initial set is expected to feature a unique blend of crypto assets, including Bitcoin and Cronos, among others.
Innovative ETF Offerings
The CEO of Crypto.com has expressed excitement about these upcoming ETFs, specifically mentioning a groundbreaking basket of tokens that will include CRO.
“We are proud to partner with Truth Social (DJT) and Yorkville America, and to support the launch of these new ETFs, including the first of its kind basket of tokens including CRO.”
Projected Timeline and Global Reach
These ETFs are slated to launch later this year, contingent upon receiving regulatory approval, and will be accessible to international investors.
Future Strategies of Trump Media
In addition to the ETF launch, TMTG’s board has approved the establishment of a “strategic acquisition fund” with select partners aimed at identifying opportunities for collaboration, mergers, or acquisitions within the expanding America First Economy.
Stock Performance Update
As of the latest reports, shares of Trump Media and Technology Group surged by 9% in after-hours trading. However, it’s noteworthy that the stock has declined nearly 40% year-to-date.
