CoinBatmi feature visual — market neutral — Cboe seeks SEC nod for first US 3x bitcoin and ether ETFs

According to The Block on 2026-08-14, LeverageShares debuted the world’s first 3x bitcoin and ether ETFs in Europe. These would be the first in the U.S., if approved.. CoinBatmi is publishing this as a source-grounded briefing because the report falls within our ongoing bitcoin, ethereum coverage. The cited material is the basis for the facts in this update, while additional confirmation may still be needed.

The immediate takeaway is the subject identified in the headline, not an unsupported price prediction or a guaranteed market outcome. Readers should separate the source's reported information from interpretation, especially when the development concerns regulation, protocol activity, security, or another fast-moving part of crypto markets.

For traders and researchers, the useful next step is to follow the original source and look for primary documentation, official statements, filings, governance records, or other direct evidence that clarifies what happened. CoinBatmi will update the story if new verifiable information materially changes the understanding of the event.

Verification should focus on the original publication, the date and context of the reported event, and any later correction or clarification from the named source. Readers can also compare the report with official notices and independently reproducible market or protocol data. That process helps distinguish a developing lead from a confirmed update without turning limited evidence into a stronger claim than the source supports.

This briefing does not add an unverified transaction value, yield claim, price target, or timeline. Where the available report is limited, that limitation is intentional: preserving the distinction between a reported development and a confirmed fact is more useful than filling gaps with speculation.

The story remains relevant for readers tracking bitcoin, ethereum. Continue to monitor the cited source, related official channels, and market data before making decisions based on the report. This article is an editorial summary of the linked external material and is not investment advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do daily-reset 3x ETFs differ from holding 3x leveraged positions directly?

Daily reset means the fund rebalances to 3x exposure each trading day, so multi-day returns compound differently than a static 3x position — gains amplify gains and losses amplify losses, producing path-dependent outcomes that can diverge sharply from 3x the underlying's cumulative return.

Could the SEC approve these before the 240-day deadline?

Yes, the SEC can approve at any point during the review period, but leveraged products typically face extended scrutiny. The spot bitcoin ETF approvals took roughly 10 months from 19b-4 filing to approval order.

Are inverse or 2x variants likely to follow?

LeverageShares offers -1x, -3x, and 2x versions in Europe. Cboe's initial filing covers only 3x long; amended filings for additional leverage factors would each trigger their own review clocks.
