That's new territory.Tidal Financial Group's Quantify 2X Daily AltAlt Season Crypto ETF, one of three funds included in an application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, confounded even a few fund industry observers."What is AltAlt vs Alt? (Because I wanted to know too)," Bloomberg ETF Research Analyst James Seyffart tweeted with a screenshot from the filing and his own terse summary. "Alt just excludes BTC, the other excludes both BTC and ETH."Tidal's N1-A registration filing also covered the Quantify 2X Daily All Cap Crypto ETF, and Quantify 2X Daily Alt Season Crypto ETF. All three leveraged funds target risk-tolerant investors, enticing them with the potential for two times the daily return of the cryptocurrencies that they hold."Because the fund seeks daily leveraged investment results, it is very different from most other exchange-traded funds," the prospectus says in each of the fund descriptions. "It is also riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage."The AltAlt fund will align initially with the performance of XRP and Solana, according to the Tidal prospectus. The Alt ETF will correspond initially to those digital assets and Ethereum, while the All Cap strategy covers those assets and Bitcoin."Alt seasons" describe periods when Ethereum and other larger altcoin prices outpace Bitcoin, usually after Bitcoin's own price increases. "Alt alt seasons" refer to timespans when market activity shifts to altcoins with mid-sized market capitalizations and then to smaller-cap tokens in a trickle-down effect. The AltAlt looks to benefit from these latter trends.SEC Clears Path for ‘Waves’ of Crypto ETFs With New Listing StandardsAll three funds may include swap agreements or option contracts on shares of U.S.-listed spot crypto ETFs or that offer exposure to digital assets indirectly through investments in crypto-based derivatives, or that directly invest in crypto funds, among other options.In recent months, issuers have applied for a widening array of leveraged crypto ETFs, along with spot funds based on various altcoins and combinations of tokens. The SEC is now weighing submissions for more than 90 of these products, as of late August, according to Bloomberg research.Their odds of approval received a boost on Wednesday when the SEC signed off on new generic listing standards for commodity-based trusts, easing the approval process. The agency's thumbs-up underscored the more receptive regulatory and political environment that has emboldened issuers.Terms and Privacy PolicyPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore InfoS&P 5006,664.36 +32.40 (+0.49%)Dow 3046,315.27 +172.85 (+0.37%)Nasdaq22,631.48 +160.75 (+0.72%)Russell 20002,448.77 -18.93 (-0.77%)VIX15.45 -0.25 (-1.59%)Gold3,705.80 +27.50 (+0.75%)PortfolioSign in to access your portfolioSign inTop gainersOKLO Oklo Inc. 135.23 +30.26 (+28.83%)BHF Brighthouse Financial, Inc. 57.59 +12.33 (+27.24%)QUBT Quantum Computing Inc. 23.27 +4.92 (+26.81%)MENS Jyong Biotech Ltd. 65.62 +13.87 (+26.80%)SMR NuScale Power Corporation 46.77 +8.65 (+22.69%)Top losersDXCM DexCom, Inc. 67.45 -8.33 (-10.99%)HESM Hess Midstream LP 35.36 -4.12 (-10.44%)VOR Vor Biopharma Inc. 27.24 -3.16 (-10.39%)CART Maplebear Inc. 41.50 -3.90 (-8.59%)ORLA Orla Mining Ltd. 10.22 -0.85 (-7.68%)Most activeOPEN Opendoor Technologies Inc. 9.57 -0.37 (-3.72%)INTC Intel Corporation 29.58 -0.99 (-3.24%)SNAP Snap Inc. 8.16 -0.28 (-3.32%)NVDA NVIDIA Corporation 176.67 +0.43 (+0.24%)BBAI BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. 6.85 +0.57 (+9.08%)Earnings eventsMy earnings eventsEarnings eventsTrending tickersBTC-USD Bitcoin USD 116,101.02 -25.66 (-0.02%)ETH-USD Ethereum USD 4,504.38 +20.79 (+0.46%)JOBY Joby Aviation, Inc. 16.58 +1.95 (+13.33%)XRP-USD XRP USD 2.99 -0.02 (-0.66%)INFY Infosys Limited 16.97 -0.60 (-3.41%)Top economic eventsPowered by Money.com - Yahoo may earn commission from the links above.
