SIX Exchange Debuts First 3x Leveraged Crypto ETPs
The SIX Swiss Exchange has listed the world’s first triple-leveraged (3x Long and –3x Short) crypto ETPs for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), issued by Leverage Shares Ltd. This marks the debut of 3x leveraged crypto ETPs on a regulated primary exchange, broadening high-conviction trading tools for institutional investors. The launch of these leveraged crypto ETPs signals growing institutional appetite for regulated, high-leverage instruments. The products offer simplified access, regulated custody, and risk-managed clearing. With these additions, the total number of crypto ETPs on SIX reaches 452, and year-to-date turnover has risen 19%, reflecting growing demand even amid market volatility. The listing bolsters SIX’s leadership in regulated digital asset products and is expected to drive further institutional participation in leveraged crypto strategies.
Bullish
The listing of 3x leveraged crypto ETPs on the regulated SIX Swiss Exchange is bullish for Bitcoin and Ethereum. By introducing these high-leverage products, SIX legitimizes leveraged crypto trading, attracts institutional capital, and increases market liquidity. Historical launches of leveraged ETFs in equity markets have often driven higher volume and price support; similarly, Europe’s earlier 2x crypto ETPs saw rapid inflows and boosted market activity. In the short term, expect increased volatility and trading turnover; in the long term, broader institutional adoption of regulated, high-conviction tools should underpin sustained demand and positive sentiment for crypto assets.
