Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), which runs Truth Social, has submitted an initial registration statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to establish a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). The filing, made on June 5, details that the trust's assets will consist primarily of Bitcoin held by a custodian. Approval would position this ETF as part of a broader trend of crypto products seeking SEC endorsement. The proposed ETF would involve Crypto.com as the exclusive custodian and liquidity provider, establishing an operational framework that also includes exclusivity clauses. Notably, the filing raises questions regarding potential conflicts of interest, suggesting that sponsors could front-run transactions—an issue typically addressed in most ETF filings. Additionally, ETF holders would not retain rights to any corresponding assets resulting from a Bitcoin network fork. As interest in cryptocurrency continues to rise, regulatory approvals, like that of this ETF, could significantly impact market dynamics.
