Trump’s New ’Blue Chip’ ETF Bets Big on Solana, XRP, and Cronos – Crypto Goes Mainstream?
Wall Street meets Web3 as Trump's latest ETF throws weight behind crypto's heavy hitters. Solana, XRP, and Cronos get the institutional stamp of approval—just as regulators start sharpening their knives.
### The ETF Playbook: From Meme Stocks to Meme Coins
Another day, another vehicle for boomers to chase yield. This time it's a 'blue chip' crypto basket—because nothing says 'stable investment' like assets that routinely swing 20% before breakfast.
### The Crypto Trifecta Breakdown
Solana brings the speed, XRP the regulatory battle scars, and Cronos the exchange-backed muscle. Together they form the holy trinity of 'respectable' crypto gambles—at least until the next Senate hearing.
### The Fine Print Nobody Will Read
Remember: 'blue chip' in crypto still means 'might moon or might rug.' But hey, at least the prospectus looks snappy next to your NFT receipts.
Trump’s media empire expands into crypto
This was not the first ETF filed under the Truth Social brand. For one, Trump Media and Technology also filed for an ETF that included a 75% allocation in Bitcoin and 25% allocation in Ethereum. The fund with the two most popular crypto assets will likely appeal to more risk-averse investors. Crypto.com will also serve as a custodian for this fund.
The filings come as the U.S. takes a more friendly approach to crypto regulation. On July 1, reports came out that the SEC is planning to fast-track regulatory approvals for crypto ETFs. In talks with major crypto exchanges, the agency discussed enabling issuers to just file a FORM S-1 and wait for the required 75 days.
If the SEC implements this change, Truth Social’s ETFs may already have done all that is required to get approval. Still, the SEC may require further changes to the filings.
