Key Takeaways

  • Trump Media is teaming up with Crypto.com and Yorkville America Digital to offer exchange-traded funds.
  • The ETFs will combine digital assets and “securities with a Made in America focus.”
  • They will be available through Foris Capital, Crypto.com’s registered securities broker-dealer.

Trump Media is partnering with Crypto.com and Yorkville America Digital to offer “America-First” exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

In a joint statement , the companies said the proposed ETFs would hold digital assets and securities “with a Made in America focus.”

Trump Media Branches Out into Investments

While Donald Trump’s wider business empire has a track record of launching crypto products, the latest venture marks a first for Trump Media, which operates Truth Social.

According to the press release, the ETFs would be available through Foris Capital, Crypto.com’s registered securities broker-dealer.

Another Crypto ETF?

On its LinkedIn page, Foris Capital states that it “does not engage in the sale, transfer or custody of cryptocurrencies or digital assets.”

Nevertheless, the latest announcement invites speculation that it could embrace Bitcoin or Ethereum, which are both approved for ETF portfolios by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

To date, the SEC hasn’t approved any mixed ETFs that hold both crypto and traditional securities.

However, the companies stated that the proposed new funds “are expected to comprise digital assets as well as securities with a Made in America focus spanning diverse industries such as energy. ”

Collateral Dollars: How Does a 'Second-Layer Dollar' Above Stablecoins Form?

Collateral Dollars: How Does a "Second Layer of Dollars" Form on Top of Stablecoins? Most assume stablecoins replicate Eurodollar functions, expanding the offshore dollar system. However, stablecoins primarily replace specific functions like operational dollar balances for settlement. They do not inherently create new dollar credit; they substitute existing claims. The key question is: what happens when financial intermediaries use stablecoins as collateral to create a new layer of dollar-denominated claims? This "collateral dollar" channel operates through secured lending, not direct money creation. A money-like event only occurs when a liability issued against the controlled stablecoin is funded, rolled over, or accepted at near-par value by another balance sheet. The discount (haircut) prices the gap between "effective control over the token" and "reliable convertibility to bank dollars." Elasticity stems not from the stablecoin itself but from the liability issued against it and the willingness of third-party balance sheets to treat that liability as a near-par asset. Compared to the traditional Eurodollar system—where elasticity originates from bank deposit creation—the stablecoin collateral chain is structurally different. Eurodollar deposits are credit-expansive from inception. Stablecoins are initially substitutive; elasticity emerges later if an intermediary's liability against them gains monetary acceptance. Stablecoins disrupt specific tiers of the offshore dollar system, mainly replacing operational settlement balances. They do not replace the need for full dollar balance-sheet capacity (credit lines, hedging, maturity transformation). For systemic impact, the second-layer liability must pass three tests: transferability, funding capacity, and monetary acceptance (being fundable or held at par by others). Pressure transmission also differs. In the Eurodollar system, stress moves up a hierarchy of claims. In a stablecoin collateral chain, the second-layer liability can lose its money-like status well before the underlying stablecoin faces a run, often triggered by haircut increases and margin calls that create a dynamic spiral of falling token prices and rising discounts. In conclusion, the "collateral dollar" is not the stablecoin itself. It is the second-layer liability issued against a controlled token balance that is willing to be funded and maintained at near-par value. Its existence depends on that liability surviving the leap from "token liquidity" to "bank dollar liquidity."
