The launch comes amid a significant cryptocurrency market downturn that saw bitcoin drop by around 19% over the last three months, from over $105,000 to now stand at wrought $84,000. COIN shares saw even worse performance, losing nearly 42% of their value during the same period.
The new ETF allows investors to take advantage of Coinbase’s stock performance volatility without directly holding shares.
These types of single-stock leveraged ETFs, for both longs and shorts sides, are typically used for short-term trading due to the high levels of risks associated with daily compounding. The profits and losses for both types of these are amplified when the prices of the underlying stocks move significantly.
