ETF Store President Says SEC Has Approved First 3x Leveraged Bitcoin and Ether ETFs

ETF Store President Nate Geraci said the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has approved the first 3x leveraged exchange-traded funds tied to Bitcoin and Ether for listing and trading. Recent SEC filings show the products are designed to seek investment results equal to three times the daily performance of either Bitcoin or Ether. Geraci also pointed to how quickly the regulatory picture has shifted. He said that less than three years ago, the SEC was still locked in litigation with Grayscale over a standard spot Bitcoin ETF, while the market is now seeing approval for far more aggressive crypto-linked ETF structures. The comment highlights how much the agency’s stance on digital-asset investment products has changed in a relatively short period.

ETF Store president says AI trading bots may hit active fund managers harder than retail investors

ETF Store President Nate Geraci said the growing use of AI agents in stock and options trading could hurt retail investors’ performance, but the broader and faster rollout of AI trading bots may pose an even bigger challenge for active fund managers. His argument centers on how AI is changing access to information across financial markets. Geraci said AI is making markets more efficient while quickly narrowing the information gap between individual investors and professional institutions. As financial and market data becomes increasingly commoditized, he argued, one of the long-standing advantages held by active managers may weaken further. He added that this pressure does not disappear simply because fund managers can also adopt AI tools themselves. In his view, if the same technology becomes widely available across the market, the traditional information edge that active managers relied on may continue to erode.

Nate Geraci says Treasury notice on 351 exchanges may be less favorable for ETFs than some expect

ETF Store President Nate Geraci said his initial reading of the latest U.S. Treasury notice involving 351 exchanges is not as optimistic as some people in the industry have suggested. In his view, problems could arise if the basket of assets moved into an exchange-traded fund differs materially from the fund’s own investment strategy. He said the risk becomes more acute if those assets are then quickly reduced or fully sold through in-kind redemptions. Geraci also said the Treasury’s guidance does not clearly define its practical boundaries, making it difficult at this stage to tell which transactions would be allowed. He expects additional guidance to follow as the scope of the notice is clarified.

ETF Store President Says Treasury’s 351 Exchange Notice May Complicate Crypto ETF Tax Setups

ETF Store President Nate Geraci said his initial reading of the U.S. Treasury Department’s latest notice on 351 exchanges is less optimistic than some voices in the industry have suggested. In his view, problems could arise when a basket of assets transferred into an ETF differs materially from the ETF’s own investment strategy. He pointed in particular to cases where those assets are then quickly reduced or fully sold through in-kind redemptions. Geraci also said the Treasury’s guidance does not clearly define the boundaries of what transactions are covered, making it difficult at this stage to determine which structures or operations may be permitted. He expects additional guidance to follow as the issue develops.

ETF Store president says crypto’s challenge to banking is the main reason the CLARITY Act remains stalled

ETF Store President Nate Geraci said in a post on X that the CLARITY Act has still not passed because cryptocurrency is challenging the traditional banking model. In his view, the main obstacle is not limited to current disputes around ethics provisions or BRCA. He argued that the deeper issue is that crypto reduces the need for banks to act as financial intermediaries. Geraci added that this pressure also hits the business model banks rely on for net interest income, along with the political forces that support that structure. His remarks framed the debate around the bill as a clash with the existing banking system rather than a matter of legislative controversy alone.

ETF Store President Says Crypto Kept Building Despite Repeated Obituaries

ETF Store President Nate Geraci said the crypto industry continued to stay active and develop even as parts of traditional finance repeatedly declared it dead during the past year’s market slump. In a post, Geraci argued that crypto assets may be one of the asset classes most often pronounced “dead” by the market. Even so, he said, building across the sector did not stop because of price performance. Geraci’s remarks framed the gap between weak market sentiment over the past year and the industry’s continued activity, while also challenging crypto skeptics in traditional finance to take another look at how the sector has evolved during that period.

ETF Store President Says Some Politicians May Be Underestimating Crypto’s Role in U.S. Midterm Elections

ETF Store President Nate Geraci said some U.S. politicians may be significantly underestimating the role the crypto industry could play in this year’s November midterm elections. In his view, voters are dealing with many issues that are more important on their face, but a politician’s stance on cryptocurrency can still carry weight well beyond the policy itself. Geraci argued that those positions often signal how political figures view the world and approach emerging technologies. He added that voters may pay far more attention to those signals than politicians themselves expect. The remarks frame crypto not simply as a niche policy topic, but as a marker of broader attitudes that some voters may factor into their electoral decisions.

ETF Store President: CLARITY Act Shows Crypto Industry Needs More Market Education

According to Odaily, Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store, posted on X that the crypto industry needs to put more effort into education, pointing to the CLARITY Act's advancement as an illustration. He said many politicians, key players in traditional finance, and mainstream financial media still do not truly understand the logic behind the industry's development. Some may lack knowledge of crypto technology, while others may perceive it as a competitive threat. Regardless of the cause, Geraci argued that strengthening educational work across the industry would help improve the situation and lead the market toward a more accurate understanding. He made the remarks in a social media post, adding that the industry's educational gap is significant. The post comes at a time when the CLARITY Act is moving through legislative channels, a process that Geraci says reveals how much work remains in explaining crypto's value to influential audiences. His comments were reported by Odaily, a Chinese crypto media outlet. Geraci did not provide details on any specific educational campaign, but his message reflects a broader concern among industry leaders about the lack of basic awareness among policy makers and financial professionals.
