Stock Track | ProShares Ultra Bitcoin ETF Soars 8.55% on Prospects of Favorable Crypto Policies

Stock Track11-22

The ProShares Ultra Bitcoin ETF (BITU) skyrocketed 8.55% on Thursday, greatly outperforming the broader market in pre-market trading. This surge came amidst rising optimism around potential pro-cryptocurrency policies from the incoming Trump administration.

Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, saw its price jump by around 4% on the day, hovering near the $97,000 level. This increase in the underlying asset likely drove the even sharper gains in BITU, an ETF that tracks twice the daily returns of bitcoin prices.

According to reports, the Trump team has been in talks with the digital asset industry about creating a new White House position focused on cryptocurrency policy. During his campaign, Trump promised to turn the U.S. into the "crypto capital of the planet" and explore the formation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to counter Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
