SEC approves 3x leveraged Bitcoin and Ether ETPs, but trading has to wait
The SEC approved a Cboe BZX rule change on October 2 that allows Volatility Shares to launch six futures-based ETPs tied to Bitcoin, Ether, gold, silver, crude oil, or natural gas. Those products are designed to target three times the daily performance of their underlying assets, and trading has not started yet.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
Users and market participants watching leveraged crypto products will notice that the SEC has approved 3x Bitcoin and Ether ETPs, but the products are not trading yet. That means the approval is on the books now, while access to the products still remains pending.
Compared with before, a Cboe BZX rule change has been approved for Volatility Shares to launch six futures-based ETPs tied to Bitcoin, Ether, gold, silver, crude oil, or natural gas. The part that stays the same is that the products are described as futures-based and aimed at three times the daily performance of the underlying assets.
Market reaction
The move was larger before the first headline than after. That is an observation, not an explanation: the market also moves on things nobody publishes.
