On August 21, 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF rose 8.2% overnight, trading at $16.62/share, with turnover of $17.61 million. The leveraged ETF tracking Bitcoin futures saw strong gains as the underlying cryptocurrency surged past $72,000.

On the news front, Bitcoin staged a powerful rally breaking through the $70,000 level and extending to $72,000, driven by multiple catalysts. U.S. President Trump held a meeting at the White House with executives from major crypto firms including Coinbase, Payward, and Blockchain, reinforcing expectations that the administration will push for a digital-asset-friendly regulatory environment. Additionally, the SEC proposed a new framework this week that would allow certain digital asset issuances to bypass securities registration requirements.

Market data shows over $3 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours amid a historic short squeeze. However, analysts note that Bitcoin perpetual futures open interest has not yet recovered significantly, suggesting the rally remains primarily driven by short covering rather than new bullish capital entering the market. Whether spot demand and ETF inflows can sustain momentum will be key to further upside.
