The U.S. has launched its first Bitcoin-related leveraged ETF, the MicroStrategy ETF (MSTX), which offers investors 175% daily leveraged exposure to MicroStrategy.

This development is a notable step in institutional crypto adoption.

The MSTX ETF provides a way to amplify Bitcoin exposure through MicroStrategy, a company known for its significant Bitcoin investments. Sylvia Jablonski, CEO of Defiance ETFs, emphasized that this fund targets investors seeking high leverage in the Bitcoin market.

The ETF comes as Bitcoin ETFs have increasingly influenced cryptocurrency investments, with these funds accounting for a significant portion of Bitcoin’s investment inflows.

MicroStrategy has outperformed most SP 500 companies since it made Bitcoin its primary treasury reserve, with its stock seeing substantial gains compared to Bitcoin’s modest rise.

The ETF is aimed at sophisticated investors due to its leveraged nature, and it is expected to be highly volatile. Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas noted that it could become the most volatile ETF available in the U.S. market.
