SEC Approves 3x Leveraged ETPs for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Major Commodities

Key Facts

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the launch of 3x leveraged exchange-traded products (ETPs) tied to Bitcoin and Ethereum. Coincu reported that the regulatory clearance also extends to 3x leveraged ETPs for gold, silver, crude oil, and natural gas, marking a cross-asset expansion into high-leverage structures.

These products are designed to amplify the daily price movements of their underlying benchmarks by a factor of three in both directions. The inclusion of Ethereum alongside Bitcoin and traditional commodities follows a prior public comment period opened by the SEC regarding a Cboe proposal, signaling a continued regulatory trend of integrating digital assets into established regulated product frameworks.
