Crypto.com partners with TMTG of Truth Social for crypto ETFs. Will this boost the U.S. crypto reserve or spark controversy?
Just days after Crypto.com and Cronos Labs approved the minting of 70 billion CRO, the team is teaming up with Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind Truth Social.
Crypto.com and Truth Social Parent Company Partner: Details
This non-binding deal will see the two entities launch a series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) under the Truth.fi brand. The partnership aims to expand TMTG’s offerings into financial services, blending some of the best cryptos to buy with securities focused on American industries—specifically energy, manufacturing, and technology firms.
Crypto.com, headquartered in Singapore, will provide the technology and infrastructure needed for successful execution. This includes backend technology, custody services, and the cryptocurrency supply for the ETFs. Its U.S. subsidiary, Foris Capital US LLC, will facilitate these offerings.
The crypto assets expected to be included in the ETFs are Bitcoin (BTC), Cronos (CRO), Ethereum (ETH), and other top altcoins–perhaps even some of the best Solana meme coins–, though the full lineup remains unconfirmed.
No specific timeline has been set for the ETF launch. Still, details suggest a potential rollout later in 2025, pending regulatory approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other relevant bodies. Once live, these crypto ETFs will be accessible internationally via Crypto.com and other brokerage platforms.
TMTG plans to allocate $250 million to these ETFs to complete the deal, with Charles Schwab serving as the custodian for these investments.
The partnership coincides with World Liberty Financial (WLFI) launching a stablecoin on Ethereum and BNB Chain.
The broader goal of the Trump administration is to clarify crypto laws—particularly for stablecoins—while establishing a US crypto reserve initially funded by existing holdings. Simultaneously, President Trump emphasizes supporting American companies.

Bullish for the Crypto Reserve—or a Dent?
This deal aligns with the president’s economic agenda. It could indirectly boost demand for Bitcoin, pressuring the SEC to fast-track approvals for expanding the crypto reserve’s assets. In turn, altcoins, including the CRO price, might see a rally now that the probability of a CRO ETF is rising.
While the outlook appears bullish, critics highlight regulatory, ethical, and practical challenges. Crypto.com has previously faced SEC scrutiny, and some warn this partnership could spark the biggest political crypto scandal since the TRUMP token. By law, U.S. presidents should avoid business dealings, especially with foreign entities like Singapore-based Crypto.com.
Skeptics also point to Kris Marszalek’s controversial past before founding Crypto.com, viewing crypto founders as often “scammy.”
Honestly? Not a surprise that Trump Media would partner with Crypto.com–especially considering the scammy nature of the Founders and such…. https://t.co/ijd0ke5Oz0

The inclusion of CRO and the prospect of spot ETFs raise further practical concerns. Despite their high valuation, spot Ethereum ETFs have struggled to gain traction compared to Bitcoin ETFs.
