Trump Media Makes Bold Move: Files to Launch Truth Social Bitcoin & Ethereum ETF on NYSE Arca
Trump Media just dropped a regulatory bombshell—filing a 19b-4 to list a Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF tied to Truth Social on NYSE Arca. Because nothing says 'financial innovation' like merging meme stocks with crypto.
The Play:
The proposed ETF would let investors trade Trump-branded crypto exposure without the hassle of self-custody wallets—or fact-checking. NYSE Arca now faces the unenviable task of reviewing whether this product meets its 'public interest' standard.
Why It Matters:
After DWAC's rollercoaster ride, Trump Media is doubling down on volatility. The filing signals a push to monetize the MAGA base's appetite for both partisan media and speculative assets. Whether the SEC bites remains to be seen—but the optics alone guarantee headlines.
The Punchline:
Wall Street's latest 'innovation'? Packaging populist vibes with digital assets. At least the fees will be more transparent than the underlying ideology.
