Cryptocurrency Prices And News: Trump Media To Launch Crypto ETFs

Cryptocurrency News:  Cryptocurrency prices are trading higher to start the week. Bitcoin led a rebound for digital assets after President Trump modified his stance on tariffs, with more "flexibility" regarding the so-called reciprocal tariffs he's expected to impose on April 2.

Elsewhere, Trump Media and Technology Group on Monday signed a non-binding deal with Crypto.com to launch exchange-traded funds and products on its platform. President Trump owns about 58% of the Truth Social operator, according to reports.

Trump Media plans to offer digital assets and securities with a "Made in America focus," as well as an ETF basket of cryptocurrencies including bitcoin, Cronos, the token for Crypto.com, and other assets. Crypto.com will support the backend technology, and supply the cryptocurrencies and custody services. Foris Capital, Crypto.com's broker dealer, will make the ETFs available. The launch is planned for later this year, subject to definitive agreement and regulatory approval. The funds are expected to be available across the United States and internationally.

DJT stock popped about 10% early Tuesday. Cronos is up almost 23% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data. The Official Trump crypto has fallen 2% during that period.

Bitcoin traded around $87,300 Tuesday morning, down slightly from its late Monday high near $88,800.

Digital asset investments are extremely volatile. While cryptocurrency's fundamentals and technical indicators may differ, investors should focus on the same key objectives. First, stay protected by learning when it's time to sell, cut losses or capture profits. Second, prepare to profit if the cryptocurrency starts to rebound.

Despite their original promise, cryptocurrencies haven't acted as hedges against inflation. Instead, they've trended with the broader indexes. Read The Big Picture and Market Pulse to track daily market trends.
