Launched by Valkyrie, this leveraged fund will invest in Bitcoin futures like the other Bitcoin-based funds now trading in the US.
This means investors don't actually own the underlying asset itself but rather are betting on the future value of Bitcoin.
But the futures and derivatives strategy would seek to return 125% of any Bitcoin price move, like other leverage funds. If Bitcoin rose $1, the ETF price would rise $1.25.
We will update this page as more details become available.

For everyday investors, accumulating physical Bitcoin comes with added hurdles of custody and operational risks."Bitcoin as a technology is battle-tested, but there is an inherent operator's risk when self-acquiring, holding and managing a bitcoin position even for the most experienced digital native, hence there's a market for those who prefer a safe pair of hands to manage their investment in exchange for a small management fee.
"Investing in a Bitcoin ETF offers investors the benefits of a safe yet low barrier to diversifying their portfolio into the asset class since it's a well understood financial product for most investors."
This Valkyrie fund would allow bullish investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without having to own the underlying asset itself.
Investors instead own shares of an ETF investing in future contracts.
This makes the ETF suitable for investors who want to gain exposure to Bitcoin without having to go through the troubles of owning the underlying asset.
Due to this it is well suited for retail investors who might not understand the complexities around investing in crypto assets.
Given the leverage, though, it is suited for those comfortable with added risk. While it moves up more quickly than Bitcoin when the price goes up, it also moves down more quickly than Bitcoin if there's a drop.
