US Leveraged ETF growth is exploding:
The number of US-listed leveraged ETFs is up to a record 700, now more than double the number seen at the end of 2024.
More than 400 of these funds are leveraged single-stock ETFs.
This comes as ~210 new leveraged funds have been launched year-to-date, already surpassing the ~205 seen in the full year 2025.
In the first half of 2026, leveraged and inverse ETFs made up 31% of all US-listed ETF launches, up from 22% in all of 2025.
In June alone, 117 such funds had their debut, nearly half of the total 239 ETFs launched in the US market.
Leverage has never been more popular.
Holy.
Look at this.
Someone knew about Stripe's acquisition offer about Paypal, $PYPL.
A trader slammed $300k into $PYPL 50 calls expiring 08/07/2026 before the news last week (and other strikes).
They are up over 500%.
They turned thousands into millions.
Unusual.
2/2 Its not a game, its a show. The scenario has been written. Argentina will be getting their prize. It really must be sad that they really haven't one a single title. All was given. P.s. Anyone else think Argentina gets a penalty? Its retorical, remember - the script ;)
#worldcup26 Its sad to wait 4 years to see final Spain-Argentina. I would've gladly waited 8 for better final. We live in a world of AI and beautiful game like football is no longer anything different that you see on the screen. @fifa wrote their story and we watch a movie. 1/2
‼️One of the US job market LEADING indicators COLLAPSED:
US quits rate (workers voluntarily leaving their jobs) in the construction industry dropped to 0.9%, the lowest since the FINANCIAL CRISIS.
This is even lower than in the 2020 Crisis.
This is a bad signal for the labor market and the economy.
🚨 The U.S. just sold $100 billion in 4-week Treasury bills.
That’s the largest short-term auction in history.
This is the quietest move toward Yield Curve Control we’ve ever seen.

This is absolutely insane:
In 5 days, the BLS is set to revise US jobs numbers for the 12 months ending March 2025.
According to Goldman Sachs, a DOWNWARD revision of up to -950,000 jobs is coming.
This would be the biggest downward revision since 2010.
What is happening here?
Gold is telling the future:
The S&P 500 is in one of its strongest bull runs in decades, up +1,650 POINTS in under 5 months.
Meanwhile, Gold's YTD return just hit +37%, nearly 4 TIMES more than the S&P 500 YTD.
Why is gold crushing stocks in a bull market?

BYBIT HACKER LAUNDERING FUNDS
The Bybit Hacker is making 2-3 transactions per minute, and stops every 45 minutes for a 15 minute break. They move ETH from one address at a time, before moving onto the next one.
Did Lazarus get an intern to wash their funds manually?
