The SEC has issued warnings to ETF issuers including Direxion, ProShares, and Tidal over proposed Leveraged crypto products offering up to 5x exposure. Regulators deem such leverage levels excessive, citing risks of flash crashes and systemic market instability.

While leveraged ETFs remain permissible, the SEC is enforcing stricter guardrails to prioritize investor protection over speculative trading. This intervention marks a turning point for crypto markets, where unchecked leverage had become endemic.

The MOVE coincides with broader efforts to establish regulatory frameworks for digital assets. By targeting extreme leverage first, the SEC signals its intent to curb the riskiest products while allowing measured innovation.
