What it means

Crypto traders and traditional-market investors now have a new class of leveraged exchange-traded products tied to bitcoin, ethereum and gold. That matters today because the products are now approved and described as designed to magnify daily price moves, which is the practical change visible in the market tomorrow morning. (per tokenpost.com)

Before this approval, these 3x bitcoin and ethereum funds were not yet cleared in the form described here. What changes in practice is the ability to list and use daily leveraged exposure through exchange-traded funds tied to major assets, while the basic goal of seeking exposure to those assets remains the same.
