An array of ETF issuers is filing applications with regulators to roll out new products with 5x leverage levels on individual stocks.
Here are all the 5x ETFs they filed for
5x AMD ETF
5x AMZN ETF
5x COIN ETF
5x CRCL ETF
5x GOOGL ETF
5x MSTR ETF
5x NVDA ETF
5x PLTR ETF
5x TSLA ETF
5x Bitcoin ETF
5x Ether ETF
5x Solana ETF
5x XRP ETF
Until now, the SEC has approved single-stock leveraged ETFs with a maximum of 2x leverage, meaning that the issuer seeks to deliver 200% of the daily price change in the underlying stock.
To deliver those returns, managers turn to the swaps or options markets; those options market makers, in turn, must manage their risk in rapidly moving markets.
Nothing like this has been approved before, and it probably won't go live, but if it does ... the ETF space will get crazy. With a 5x long single stock ETF, if the stock is down 20% in a day, the ETF will just be wiped out.
