The Leverage Shares 2X Long CRCL Daily ETF (CRCG) plummeted 15.16% intraday on Thursday, reflecting amplified losses from its underlying asset.
The decline is directly tied to a more than 6% drop in Circle Internet Corp. (CRCL), which the ETF tracks with 2x daily leverage. The broader cryptocurrency sector faced pressure as Bitcoin fell over 2% below $80,000 and Ethereum declined nearly 3%, contributing to the downturn in cryptocurrency-related stocks.
As a leveraged product, CRCG magnifies the daily performance of CRCL, leading to the significant intraday decline amid the sector-wide sell-off.
