Tuttle Capital, a Delaware-headquartered asset management firm, has filed for a series of leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on popular memecoins, including the Official Trump and Melania Meme tokens.

Leveraged ETFs Offer Amplified Returns, Increased Risk

Unlike traditional spot ETFs that mirror the underlying asset’s performance one-to-one, leveraged ETFs aim to amplify returns, offering investors the potential to achieve twice the daily performance of the tracked assets while also increasing risk exposure.

Tuttle’s Filing: A Bold Move to Test SEC’s Limits

Tuttle’s filing includes ten 2x leveraged ETFs, covering assets like XRP, Solana, Litecoin, Chainlink, Cardano, Polkadot, BNP, Bonk, and the Official Trump and Melania Meme tokens. This filing marks a significant development, as Tuttle becomes the first U.S.-based asset manager to file for leveraged ETP tracking Chainlink, Cardano, Polkadot, BNP, and Melania Meme tokens.

SEC’s Regulatory Approach Under Scrutiny

Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart described Tuttle’s filing as a bold move to test the “limits” of the SEC under its unwinding regulatory approach. Fellow analyst Eric Balchunas noted that the filings are “unusual,” as many of the proposed funds lack even a standard ETF. However, he added that since these are filed under the 40-act framework, they could potentially start trading by April unless the SEC disapproves them.

Key Takeaways:

  • Tuttle Capital has filed for ten 2x leveraged ETFs based on popular memecoins and other digital assets.
  • Leveraged ETFs offer amplified returns, but also increase risk exposure.
  • The SEC’s regulatory approach is under scrutiny, with market pundits believing that the new SEC could redefine the regulatory landscape for crypto ETFs.

Will be interesting to see where the SEC draws a line (if at all) and why.
