Truth Social Eyeing Bitcoin ETF Launch
Donald Trump's social media platform's partner files with the SEC to potentially offer a spot Bitcoin ETF.
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social, may soon enter the Bitcoin ETF arena. Yorkville America Digital, a partner of TMTG, has filed a 19b-4 document with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) through NYSE Arca for a proposed Bitcoin ETF.
Details of the Proposed ETF
- Filing Type: 19b-4, a regulatory requirement for rule changes by self-regulatory organizations (SROs).
- Issuer: Yorkville America Digital, partnering with Trump Media & Technology Group.
- Custodian: Foris DAX Trust Company, also custodian for Crypto.com's assets.
- Potential Name: Truth Social Bitcoin ETF.
SEC Approval Needed
In addition to the 19b-4 filing, an S-1 registration statement must be filed by the issuer to make the proposal official. The SEC will then review both documents to determine whether to approve the ETF.
Key Takeaways
