BREAKING: SEC Shuts Down High-Leverage ETFs
The SEC just delivered a major blow to the leverage market: no ETFs above 2x will be approved. ProShares has already pulled its 3x BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP filings.
Why? The numbers were getting extreme:
• Korean traders poured $30B into leveraged ETFs this year.
• VIX spiked 150% in a single day.
• October saw $20B in crypto liquidations — the biggest ever.
Meanwhile, Volatility Shares pushed for 5x ETFs on Tesla, Nvidia, Bitcoin, and Ethereum — products that could turn a 10% move into a 50% swing. The SEC responded with immediate warning letters.
What’s Next?
• No approvals above 2x until mid-2026
• Traders shift to options, futures, DeFi, and offshore platforms
• The $162B leveraged ETF market consolidates
The irony? Regulators loosened bank leverage rules just a week before tightening retail leverage.
Two systems now exist: one for institutions, one for everyone else.
The casino is still open — but the rules just changed.
