The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the listing of six triple-leveraged exchange-traded products (ETPs) tracking Bitcoin and Ether. According to cryptoticker.io, the approval was granted on October 2, 2026, following a rule change by the Cboe BZX exchange to permit products from the Volatility Shares Trust.

The decision follows the broader acceptance of spot and futures-based crypto ETFs, now extending to highly leveraged instruments for sophisticated investors. While the regulatory clearance has been issued, the products have not yet commenced trading as they await the effectiveness of S-1 registration statements.
