SEC acknowledges Trump’s Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has accepted Trump Media’s application for a Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded fund, starting the clock for the agency to approve or reject the proposed fund.
The ETF proposes offering investors exposure to Bitcoin and Ether through shares listed on NYSE Arca backed by the crypto assets, with 75% allocated to Bitcoin and 25% to Ether, according to the filing.
Foris DAX Trust Company, , will act as the custodian, and asset management firm Yorkville America Digital will act as the fund’s sponsor.
The filing comes amid a flood of other crypto ETF applications, and the SEC is reportedly exploring a simplified listing structure for crypto ETFs that would automate a significant portion of the approval process.
Truth Social crypto ETF tracks Bitcoin and Ether
Truth Social proposes that the net asset value of its ETF will be evaluated each day with the Bitcoin portion based on the CME CF Bitcoin reference rate, which is calculated by aggregating trade data from multiple major crypto exchanges.
The Ether in the fund will use the Ether CME CF reference rate to evaluate its value “unless otherwise determined by the Sponsor at its sole discretion.”
The crypto custodian will also keep custody of the fund’s Bitcoin and Ether in separate accounts from the rest of its customer base, according to the filing, and hold the private keys in cold storage.
Truth Social first filed an S-1 form with the SEC for the dual crypto ETF on June 16.
Fidelity Solana ETF delayed again
Meanwhile, the SEC has delayed making a decision on Fidelity’s proposed spot Solana ETF, opening up a new public comment window with responses requested within 21 days and rebuttals within 35 days.
Cboe BZX Exchange, a US securities exchange, first requested permission to list a proposed Fidelity ETF holding Solana in a March 25 filing.
In an X post on Monday, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said it was “delayed as expected.”

“We’re still waiting for some sort of movement from the SEC on a generalized digital asset ETP framework,” he added.
Positive signs of SEC movement on crypto ETPs
Seyffart said in another X post on Monday that reports of the SEC asking issuers of SOL spot ETFs to amend and refile applications by the end of the month are another positive sign of “SEC movement” on potential new crypto exchange-traded products .
“Keep in mind that this would just be more amendments and more back and forth, NOT approvals, as I’ve seen some people hint. Pretty much any sort of interactions between SEC and issuers/exchanges should be viewed positively,” he added.

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
