<p style="text-align: justify"> The <a href="https://en.bitcoinhaber.net/jim-cramers-bitcoin-predictions-a-signal-of-market-peaks">Bitcoin</a> market is witnessing a surge in leveraged trading activities as the <a href="https://en.bitcoinhaber.net/bitcoins-swift-price-increase-catalyzes-market-optimism-and-investment">cryptocurrency</a>‘s price inches closer to its historical peaks. Leveraged futures-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs), particularly the VolatilityShares’ 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITX), are experiencing substantial inflows. Research from K33 indicates that BITX has attracted $630 million in net inflows for the month, rivaling industry heavyweights BlackRock and Fidelity in terms of inflow volume. </p> 
<h2 id="rise-of-bitcoin-futures-etfs">Rise of Bitcoin Futures ETFs</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify"> Bitcoin futures ETFs have reached a peak risk equivalent to 83,300 <a href="https://en.bitcoinhaber.net/vaneck-predicts-bitcoins-surge-despite-expected-recession-in-the-us">BTC</a> tokens, and leveraged ETFs like BITX represent around a quarter of open positions in the CME—one of the leading crypto derivatives markets. Moreover, K33 has noted a 20% rise in futures premiums, signifying a robust demand for leveraged exposure to Bitcoin. A fresh report reveals a spike in investments in 2x leveraged BTC ETFs, suggesting a growing trend towards high-risk exposure to Bitcoin. </p> 
<p style="text-align: justify"> Indeed, VolatilityShares’ 2x leveraged fund has seen its equivalent risk more than double to 36,025 Bitcoin tokens in just the first 11 days of March, according to K33’s data. With this burgeoning interest, the market is poised to welcome new leveraged products. ProShares is set to launch five leveraged BTC ETFs—both long and short—next month, while Valkyrie has already introduced its 2x leveraged version. </p> 
<h2 id="market-trends-in-bitcoin-funding-rates">Market Trends in Bitcoin Funding Rates</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify"> The crypto bull run has propelled an evident demand for leveraged trades among investors. US institutions show a preference for regulated crypto futures on the CME and spot ETFs offered by traditional asset managers. Offshore exchanges are experiencing high funding rates for Bitcoin perpetual futures, illustrating the high leverage within the crypto sphere. Additionally, Deribit, a prominent crypto options trading platform, has set new records for open positions and a surge in bullish stances on Bitcoin.</p>
