On Tuesday, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) filed a rule change to allow the listing of a new Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, backed by Trump Media & Technology Group. If approved, this dual-asset ETF would hold 75% Bitcoin and 25% Ethereum, making it one of the most politically branded cryptocurrency products to date.
The proposed ETF listing falls under the SEC’s 19b-4 rule, a common path for ETF approval. While it signals regulatory progress, it does not guarantee final approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In a statement, the SEC responded:
“The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices in that the shares will be listed and traded on the exchange pursuant to the initial and continued listing criteria in NYSE.”
Trump Media is ramping up efforts to establish a stronghold in the crypto space. In May, it announced a $2.5 billion raise to build its own Bitcoin Treasury.
Key projects include:
