The proposed ETFs are leveraged products, which aim to deliver twice the daily returns—or losses—of their underlying assets. However, the filings warn that if the value of an asset drops by more than 50% in a single day, investors could lose their entire investment.
By including such a mix, Tuttle Capital appears to be testing the boundaries of what regulators will permit.
“These filings are pushing to see what the SEC might approve”, said Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart. He noted that decisions could depend on the SEC’s new crypto-focused task force, now led by Hester Peirce.
Eric Balchunas, an ETF expert at Bloomberg, explained that these products are filed under the 1940 Act, which governs investment funds. He said, “If the SEC doesn’t reject them, they could start trading by April”.
