VolShares files for 5x leveraged crypto ETFs linked to ETH, SOL, and XRP, moving forward despite SEC delays from shutdown.
VolShares continues its aggressive move to launch 5x leveraged crypto ETFs. These ETFs will target major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP.
Despite delays in SEC approvals due to the government shutdown, VolShares remains confident. The company’s filings suggest a growing demand for higher-leverage crypto products among investors.
VolShares Pushes Ahead with 5x Leveraged Crypto ETFs
VolShares has filed for several 5x leveraged ETFs tied to ETH, SOL, and XRP. These ETFs aim to offer amplified returns for traders by using financial contracts and borrowed capital.
The firm’s decision to launch these products follows the introduction of its 1x and 2x XRP ETFs. It represents a more ambitious step as VolShares seeks to attract investors looking for higher-risk, higher-reward opportunities.

Leveraged ETFs aim to boost returns by borrowing money to increase exposure. This strategy allows traders to potentially earn more from price movements.
However, leveraged ETFs reset daily, which can make long-term predictions difficult. They are primarily used by professional traders with short-term investment goals.
This move builds on VolShares’ earlier success with the XRPI and XRPT ETFs.
The new 5x products will offer greater exposure to ETH, SOL, and XRP, making them appealing for risk-tolerant investors. VolShares’ push for these products highlights a bold strategy in a market still awaiting clear regulatory approval.
SEC Review Freeze and Ongoing Delays
The SEC is currently experiencing a review freeze due to the ongoing government shutdown. This has delayed the approval of new crypto ETF applications, including those for ETH, SOL, and XRP.
As a result, VolShares’ filings are still under review, and the firm cannot move forward until the SEC resumes operations. This pause has also affected other companies filing similar ETF products.

Despite the delays, VolShares continues to press ahead with its filings.
Some analysts believe that certain procedural windows allow for filings to proceed even without immediate SEC approval. If the SEC does not resolve its backlog within 75 days, the filings could become automatically effective under U.S. securities law.
The SEC’s freeze has raised concerns about the pace of crypto ETF approvals. However, some market participants believe the situation is temporary. Once the government reopens, they expect a rush of new ETF approvals, including those for crypto assets like ETH, SOL, and XRP.
Other Firms Are Following Suit
VolShares is not the only company moving forward with crypto ETF filings amid regulatory uncertainty.
Other firms like REX-Osprey have also applied for crypto ETFs linked to individual tokens like Cardano and Sui. These filings show that the demand for crypto ETFs continues to grow, despite regulatory delays.
Several well-known asset managers, including Grayscale and Bitwise, have also updated their applications for XRP-based funds. These updates suggest that these firms are preparing for a possible launch once the SEC resumes its review process.
The influx of new applications indicates a growing market interest in crypto ETFs.
Even with the SEC’s operational delays, the interest in crypto ETFs has not waned. Many firms are positioning themselves to launch as soon as the SEC approves their products.
This continued push for new filings highlights how close the industry is to broader regulatory acceptance of crypto ETFs.
