The products cover eight funds tied to cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, XRP, Ether and Solana. GraniteShares had adjusted the launch schedule on Oct. 26 ET. The latest delay came just days before the U.S. midterm elections, as stated in the source material. No additional details on the reason for the change were provided in the input. The update concerns the listing timeline only. The source did not disclose further product terms, pricing, or any separate regulatory rationale beyond the postponement itself.

Lucid plunge wipes out 2x ETF as single-stock leveraged funds draw closer scrutiny

Single-stock leveraged ETFs tied to AI and memory trades have expanded quickly as investors chase bigger gains from names such as SK Hynix. Odaily highlighted the danger with a fresh example from the U.S. market: GraniteShares 2x Long LCID Daily ETF, which tracked Lucid, was pushed into liquidation after Lucid shares plunged on a bankruptcy rumor during trading on July 14. Although Lucid later denied the report, said it had sufficient liquidity into next year, and saw its stock recover from the session low, the ETF had already closed out its position and moved into delisting. That left holders unable to benefit from any rebound in the underlying stock. The case has added to wider concern about single-stock leveraged products, especially in South Korea, where regulators are discussing tighter rules under the F4 policy framework. Measures under discussion include higher margin requirements, tighter daily price limits, and lower leverage caps. The report also notes that regulators are paying attention not only to market volatility but to the potential for financial losses, social media-driven speculation, and broader social fallout to feed into one another.
