According to @EricBalchunas, concerns about 2x ETFs are overstated relative to leverage showcased on crypto derivatives venues, noting MSTU looks quaint compared to a product referenced in a Coinbase International Exchange post he linked; this frames 2x ETF risk as modest versus certain exchange-offered leverage, which matters for position sizing and volatility management for traders, source: X post by @EricBalchunas, Oct 12, 2025. The post explicitly contrasts MSTU, a 2x ETF, with a leveraged crypto product mentioned by Coinbase International Exchange, signaling that higher effective leverage is readily accessible outside traditional ETF structures, source: X post by @EricBalchunas, Oct 12, 2025. For trading strategy, the comparison implies that leverage selection (ETF vs exchange derivatives) should factor differing liquidation mechanics and intraday volatility when allocating risk, as highlighted by the author’s emphasis on relative scale of leverage, source: X post by @EricBalchunas, Oct 12, 2025.

According to @rovercrc, an $11B Bitcoin whale opened $900M in short positions on BTC and ETH (source: @rovercrc on X, Oct 12, 2025).
