According to Cointelegraph, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) has submitted an application to list a 3x leveraged ETF for Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, silver, crude oil, and natural gas.The aforementioned products cover both crypto assets and traditional commodities. If approved, they will provide investors with higher leveraged trading tools, further enriching the ETF product line in the relevant markets.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing the rule change application submitted by Cboe BZX Exchange, involving six leveraged commodity ETFs that track the benchmark's daily performance by three times. The initial review period set by the SEC is 45 days after publication in the Federal Register.Volatility Shares LLC is the sponsor of the relevant funds, which include 3x Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas ETFs, all intended to operate under a commodity pool and not classified as investment companies. Among them, the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs will primarily invest in near-month and next-month futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), rather than directly holding Bitcoin or Ethereum, and will allocate cash and cash equivalents as collateral or margin.Before the relevant products are listed, the SEC must approve the exchange rule changes, and the trust's Form S-1 registration statement must also become effective. Each fund must have at least 100,000 shares at the time of listing, and authorized participants can subscribe or redeem cash at a rate of 1,000 shares per 10,000 shares.

Bitget announced that it has upgraded its CFD products, further optimizing the leverage and margin mechanisms for XAUUSD and USDCNH. Specifically, when the nominal value of the XAUUSD contract is below $100,000, a maximum leverage of 800 times is supported; when the nominal value of the USDCNH contract is below $1,000,000, a maximum leverage of 100 times is supported. For positions exceeding the corresponding ranges, the platform will adopt a tiered margin calculation mechanism, with the margin rate dynamically adjusted as the nominal value of the position increases.This upgrade enhances the efficiency of capital use and strategic flexibility in CFD trading through a more flexible leverage and margin tiering mechanism, providing professional traders with more options for strategy allocation in different market environments.

Analyst Killa posted on the X platform stating that his spot position is fully loaded, holding a 2x leveraged long position in Bitcoin starting from $62,600, while deploying a 10x leveraged long strategy in batches in a sub-account. Bitcoin has retraced 54%, and based on mathematical calculations, he believes the maximum retracement could be between 65% and 68%.The strategy sets up 3 groups of 10x leveraged long positions, with entry prices of $62,600, $57,100, and $51,600, corresponding liquidation prices of $57,100, $51,600, and $46,100, using $10,000 margin for each group; if Bitcoin reaches $126,000, the 3 groups of long positions are expected to profit $101,300, $120,700, and $144,200 respectively. Killa stated that he actually split this strategy into 4 to 5 entries, and if the first two groups of long positions are liquidated, the profit from the last group of long positions can cover the related losses.

Cboe BZX Exchange is seeking approval from the U.S. SEC to list a set of leveraged commodity ETFs, including daily leveraged products that provide 3x long exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to the proposed rule change document submitted on Friday, Cboe plans to launch the 3x Gold ETF, 3x Silver ETF, 3x Bitcoin ETF, 3x Ether ETF, 3x Crude Oil ETF, and 3x Natural Gas ETF.These funds will primarily achieve their objectives by holding CME or COMEX futures contracts and using cash and cash equivalents as collateral, aiming to deliver 3x returns corresponding to the daily performance of the underlying assets. Since the related products do not comply with the exchange's general listing standards regarding leveraged products, Cboe needs to apply for approval through special rules. Such highly leveraged funds are typically aimed at sophisticated investors for short-term tactical trading and are not suitable for long-term holding.The document also indicates that these funds will operate in the form of a "commodity pool," subject to CFTC regulation, rather than as an investment company under the 1940 Act regulated by the SEC, like many traditional ETFs. Commodity pools typically aggregate funds from multiple investors to trade derivatives or other commodity-related instruments.

Renowned trader Doctor Profit posted that a historical indicator for Bitcoin is signaling that "the bottom has either formed or is very close." In 2015, 2019, and 2022, the bear market bottom formation phase began when the realized price of holders for 3 to 6 months fell below the realized price of holders for 1 to 2 years. He believes this indicates that newer buyers are capitulating and selling at a loss, with Bitcoin gradually transferring to longer-term holders.Currently, this crossover is appearing for the fourth time, while the BTC price is below the average cost of both categories of holders. However, historically, this signal does not immediately lead to a reversal; Bitcoin typically experiences several months of sideways movement to complete the bottoming process, so this phase can also be seen as a long-term accumulation range. He believes we are currently in the bottom formation and long-term accumulation phase of the bear market. Doctor Profit stated that over the past few weeks, he has been gradually buying BTC in batches within the range of $54,000 to $64,000, continuing to build his position incrementally with 5% of his portfolio each time.
