New TRON-linked leveraged ETF filing joins wave of crypto funds awaiting SEC approval
Quick Take The SEC is weighing dozens of crypto ETF proposals, from ones that track SOL to DOGE. The fund “seeks daily leveraged investment results,” and is significantly different from other ETFs, according to that filing.
A new registration filing has been made for an exchange-traded fund that tracks the daily performance of TRON, adding to the list of funds waiting for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's green light.
ETF Opportunities Trust submitted a filing on Thursday for the "T-REX 2X Long TRON Daily Target ETF," which "seeks daily leveraged investment results" and is significantly different from other ETFs, according to that filing.
"As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of TRON," according to the filing. "The Fund will utilize total return swaps that provide exposure to exchange-traded funds or other exchange-traded products that invest in spot TRON or TRON derivatives such as swaps or futures contracts."
The fund sponsor is REX Shares, LLC. A custodian is not listed yet. TRON, created by entrepreneur Justin Sun, has a market capitalization of $27.6 billion, according to The Block's price page . Sun has come into the spotlight following his support for President Donald Trump's presidency this past year, and is notably one of the top holders of the TRUMP memecoin.
The SEC is weighing dozens of crypto ETF proposals, from ones that track SOL to DOGE in the face of a friendlier regulatory environment for crypto since Trump took office in January. The first approved "staking ETF," tacking Solana's native SOL token, was launched in early July , an indication the securities watchdog may be more willing to approve more exotic exchange-listed products.
The agency is weighing a framework that would expedite the process for listing ETFs. Standards under discussion may include metrics such as market capitalization, decentralization, and wallet distribution, a source told The Block this week.

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
