Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) has announced a non-binding agreement with leading cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com. The partnership is aimed at exploring the development of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) called “Made in America”. They are focused on digital assets in the United States.
According to a statement released by Trump Media on March 24, the initiative also includes TMTG subsidiaries such as Truth Social and its financial services arm Truth.Fi, pointing to a broader effort to expand the group’s presence in the growing world of blockchain-based financial products.
“Made in America” Crypto ETFs Are on the Horizon
The planned ETFs are expected to carry a strong “Made in America” branding theme. They are emphasizing U.S.-based innovation in the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors. While still pending regulatory approval, these ETFs would be launched through Crypto.com’s U.S. broker-dealer arm, Foris Capital US LLC.
In terms of asset composition, the ETFs are likely to include a diversified basket of leading cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based securities. Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, and Cronos (CRO), Crypto.com’s native token, are among the digital assets reportedly under consideration.
“These ETFs will be available on the Crypto.com App for our more than 140 million users globally,” stated Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com. The firms also anticipate international distribution, with accessibility planned for investors across the U.S., Europe, and Asia via major brokerage platforms.
Truth.Fi to Launch SMAs and Commit Company Reserves
Beyond ETFs, Trump Media is making further inroads into crypto finance through the launch of Truth.Fi Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs). These portfolios will offer tailored exposure to digital assets, and notably, TMTG itself will allocate a portion of its cash reserves to the initiative.
The Bigger Picture: Trump’s Expanding Crypto Footprint
The recent “Made In America” ETF announcement follows a series of Trump-affiliated ventures into the world of cryptocurrency.
Donald Trump has previously been linked to World Liberty Financial. This is a blockchain-based platform by the Trump Organization, as well as the highly controversial “Official Trump” ($TRUMP) meme coin, which launched shortly before the 2024 inauguration.

These activities have drawn criticism from Democratic lawmakers. In particular, Rep. Sam Liccardo has led efforts to introduce the MEME Act, which seeks to prohibit federal officials and their families from profiting off of meme coins. In a blog post, Liccardo called out the $TRUMP token by name, accusing the President’s inner circle of leveraging insider knowledge and public influence to drive personal crypto gains.
Trump Media Executives Launch $179M SPAC to Acquire U.S. Crypto Firms
The momentum doesn’t stop at ETFs. Just days before the announcement with Crypto.com, Trump Media executives revealed the formation of a $179 million SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) named Renatus Tactical Acquisition Corp I.
Filed on March 14, the SPAC plans to acquire a U.S.-based crypto or blockchain company. This is further demonstrating Trump Media’s growing focus on digital assets. Interestingly, the SPAC is based in the Cayman Islands, though it intends to raise capital from both public and private investors.
Leadership behind Renatus Tactical includes top figures from Trump Media:
- Eric Swider, Trump Media director and former CEO of Digital World Acquisition Corp.
- Alexander Cano, Trump Media’s current COO, also affiliated with Digital World.
- Devin Nunes, CEO of Trump Media, is named as chair of the SPAC.
This executive-heavy SPAC venture suggests that TMTG is doubling down on blockchain acquisitions, potentially aligning future ETF products with proprietary technologies or platforms.

As the ETF market in the U.S. opens up, especially after the SEC’s approval of multiple spot Bitcoin ETFs, new players are rushing to carve out space. The involvement of Trump Media could accelerate mainstream crypto adoption, even among more conservative investors.

The Crypto.com partnership adds institutional credibility and technical muscle to the venture, including custody, compliance, and a massive user base.
If successful, these ETFs could:
- Encourage broader retail and institutional investment in crypto.
- Drive policy debates about political figures’ roles in digital asset promotion.
- Spark the creation of uniquely branded, theme-based crypto ETFs.
Final Thoughts: A New Chapter for Crypto, Politics, and Wall Street
Trump Media is positioning itself as a serious player in the future of finance. From ETFs and SMAs to SPAC-led acquisitions and controversial meme coins, the group is actively shaping how digital assets enter the American political and economic conversation.
With regulatory hurdles ahead and public scrutiny mounting, the Trump Media x Crypto.com collaboration marks one of the most high-profile entries into the U.S. crypto ETF space to date. The coming months will be crucial in determining whether these plans materialize, and how they’ll influence the broader financial system.
