  • Trump's Truth Social Withdraws Bitcoin and Bitcoin-Ethereum ETF Applications Amid Market Pressure
    May 20, 2026, 7:22 AM EDT. Trump Media & Technology Group has withdrawn its applications for Bitcoin and Bitcoin-Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), citing a strategic shift to pursue a different regulatory framework under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ('40 Act) instead of the Securities Act of 1933 ('33 Act). Yorkville America, the investment advisor, highlighted that the '40 Act allows more flexible investment strategies. This move comes amid intense fee competition in the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market, valued at $57.4 billion since January 2024, following Morgan Stanley's MSBT launch, which offers a low 0.14% expense ratio.
