Cboe BZX Exchange has asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for permission to list a new group of leveraged commodity exchange-traded funds, including daily 3x long Bitcoin and Ether products. Under a proposed rule change filed on Friday, the exchange plans to launch six funds: 3x Gold ETF, 3x Silver ETF, 3x Bitcoin ETF, 3x Ether ETF, 3x Crude Oil ETF, and 3x Natural Gas ETF. The filing says the funds would mainly gain exposure through CME or COMEX futures contracts while using cash and cash equivalents as collateral, with the goal of delivering three times the daily return of the underlying assets. Because the products do not meet the exchange’s standard listing criteria for leveraged funds, Cboe is seeking approval through a special rule process. The filing also states that the funds would operate as commodity pools regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission rather than as Investment Company Act of 1940 vehicles overseen by the SEC. Such high-leverage products are typically designed for experienced investors and short-term tactical trading, not long-term holding.

Cboe BZX Exchange has asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for approval to list a new set of leveraged commodity exchange-traded funds, including daily 3x long products tied to Bitcoin and Ether. In a proposed rule change filed on Friday, the exchange outlined plans for six funds: 3x Gold ETF, 3x Silver ETF, 3x Bitcoin ETF, 3x Ether ETF, 3x Crude Oil ETF, and 3x Natural Gas ETF. According to the filing, the funds would seek to deliver three times the daily performance of their reference assets, mainly by holding futures contracts traded on CME or COMEX and posting cash and cash equivalents as collateral. Because the products do not meet the exchange’s generic listing standards for leveraged products, Cboe is seeking approval through a special rule process. The filing also says the funds would be structured as commodity pools regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, rather than as 1940 Act investment companies overseen by the SEC. Commodity pools typically combine capital from multiple investors to trade derivatives or other commodity-linked instruments.

Goldman Sachs’ economics team expects U.S. core CPI for July to rise 0.19% month over month and 2.47% year over year, both a touch below market consensus of 0.2% and 2.5%. The bank also forecasts headline CPI to increase just 0.05% on a monthly basis, compared with a 0.1% consensus estimate, citing an earlier pullback in energy prices. The inflation report is due at 8:30 p.m. Taiwan time on Aug. 12. Before the release, however, market conditions had shifted. Brent crude had climbed back to $87.90, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield had risen to 4.73%, and Bitcoin was trading at $64,219, down 1.08% over 24 hours. The article argues that the key assumption behind Goldman’s softer headline CPI call — lower energy prices — has already started to reverse. June CPI was helped by a 5.7% monthly drop in the energy index, the largest contributor to the 0.4% monthly decline in headline CPI. But oil prices swung sharply in August, with Brent settling at $87.72 and WTI at $82.13 on Aug. 10 after a roughly 5% daily jump. Goldman also noted that if oil-market disruptions and higher crude prices last longer than expected, inflation risks would tilt to the upside.
