UltraShort Bitcoin ETF Offering 2x Inverse Returns Sees Record Volume as BTC Holds Above $90K

Published

on

There’s something about major psychological price levels, like bitcoin’s (<a href=»https://www.coindesk.com/price/bitcoin/ » target=»_blank»>BTC</a>) $100,000 mark. As prices near these thresholds, anything tied to the asset gets an extra spark of energy.

The Nasdaq-listed ProShares UltraShort Bitcoin ETF (SBIT) is a case in point, posting record trading volume of over 8 million shares on Nov. 13 as bitcoin topped $90,000 for the first time and strengthening the case for a rally into six figures by year-end, data tracked by TradingView show.

Since then, BTC has held between $90,000 and $100,000, and the ETF’s daily trading volume has averaged just over 5 million shares. That’s significantly greater than the sub-2 million readings over the preceding months.

The ETF seeks to deliver twice the inverse daily price performance of bitcoin, so that if BTC falls by 1%, the ETF rises by 2%, offering a leveraged bearish bet on the cryptocurrency.

The spike in volume could be associated with the capitulation of investors who bought the ETF early this year anticipating a slide in BTC. Or it could be bulls protecting their long positions in spot/futures markets from possible BTC price pullbacks as the key $100,000 level approaches.

The latter seems to be the case, because inflows into the ETF have picked up. The fund registered a net inflow of $17.7 million on Friday, the most since its debut in April, according to data source ETF.com.

Bitcoin bulls, however, can still stay optimistic as the 11 spot bitcoin ETFs have accumulated over $2.5 billion in net inflows since Nov. 13, according to data tracked by <a href=»https://farside.co.uk/btc/» target=»_blank»>Farside Investors</a>.

Crypto Trading Firm Keyrock Buys Luxembourg’s Turing Capital in Asset Management Push

Published

By

Crypto trading firm Keyrock said it’s expanding into asset and wealth management by acquiring Turing Capital, a Luxembourg-registered alternative investment fund manager.

The deal, announced on Tuesday, marks the launch of Keyrock’s Asset and Wealth Management division, a new business unit dedicated to institutional clients and private investors.

Keyrock, founded in Brussels, Belgium and best known for its work in market making, options and OTC trading, said it will fold Turing Capital’s investment strategies and Luxembourg fund management structure into its wider platform. The division will be led by Turing Capital co-founder Jorge Schnura, who joins Keyrock’s executive committee as president of the unit.

The company said the expansion will allow it to provide services across the full lifecycle of digital assets, from liquidity provision to long-term investment strategies. «In the near future, all assets will live onchain,» Schnura said, noting that the merger positions the group to capture opportunities as traditional financial products migrate to blockchain rails.

Keyrock has also applied for regulatory approval under the EU’s crypto framework MiCA through a filing with Liechtenstein’s financial regulator. If approved, the firm plans to offer portfolio management and advisory services, aiming to compete directly with traditional asset managers as well as crypto-native players.

«Today’s launch sets the stage for our longer-term ambition: bringing asset management on-chain in a way that truly meets institutional standards,» Keyrock CSO Juan David Mendieta said in a statement.

Gemini Shares Slide 6%, Extending Post-IPO Slump to 24%

Published

By

Gemini Space Station (GEMI), the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has seen its shares tumble by more than 20% since listing on the Nasdaq last Friday.

The stock is down around 6% on Tuesday, trading at $30.42, and has dropped nearly 24% over the past week. The sharp decline follows an initial surge after the company raised $425 million in its IPO, pricing shares at $28 and valuing the firm at $3.3 billion before trading began.

On its first day, GEMI spiked to $45.89 before closing at $32 — a 14% premium to its offer price. But since hitting that high, shares have plunged more than 34%, erasing most of the early enthusiasm from public market investors.

The broader crypto equity market has remained more stable. Coinbase (COIN), the largest U.S. crypto exchange, is flat over the past week. Robinhood (HOOD), which derives part of its revenue from crypto, is down 3%. Token issuer Circle (CRCL), on the other hand, is up 13% over the same period.

Part of the pressure on Gemini’s stock may stem from its financials. The company posted a $283 million net loss in the first half of 2025, following a $159 million loss in all of 2024. Despite raising fresh capital, the numbers suggest the business is still far from turning a profit.

Compass Point analyst Ed Engel noted that GEMI is currently trading at 26 times its annualized first-half revenue. That multiple — often used to gauge whether a stock is expensive — means investors are paying 26 dollars for every dollar the company is expected to generate in sales this year. For a loss-making company in a volatile sector, that’s a steep price, and could be fueling investor skepticism.
