The leveraged 2x ETF provides investors with the opportunity to gain exposure to Bitcoin by investing only half the value of the digital asset, attracting those seeking amplified returns.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has given its seal of approval to the first-ever leveraged Bitcoin Futures Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). The Volatility Shares' offering has emerged as the inaugural ETF of its kind in the United States, poised to revolutionize the cryptocurrency market.
The prospectus filing accompanying the approval revealed that the leveraged ETF would begin operations on June 26, 2023. It further emphasized that the ETF's performance could be tied to the CME Bitcoin Futures Daily Roll Index, a key indicator in the cryptocurrency derivatives market. A leveraged 2x ETF enables investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin by investing only half of the digital asset's value, providing an attractive opportunity for those seeking amplified returns.
The SEC's decision comes as Bitcoin's price has soared above the $31,000 threshold. This remarkable upswing can be attributed, at least in part, to the positive news surrounding BlackRock, Invesco, and WisdomTree's plans to introduce its own Bitcoin ETF.
As the cryptocurrency landscape evolves, market participants and regulatory bodies will undoubtedly continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by digital assets. The approval of leveraged Bitcoin futures ETF represents a significant milestone and paves the way for further advancements in the crypto investment space. As of writing, Bitcoin ($BTC) is trading at $31,121.25, up 3.60% in 24 hours.
