<p>For investors unfamiliar with ETPs, they are financial instruments that <a href="https://crypto.news/etp-vs-etf-which-one-fits-your-crypto-investment-plan/" target="_blank">track the performance</a> of an asset, such as stocks — in this case, <a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/tag/microstrategy/">MicroStrategy’s</a> stock.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The 3x long exchange-traded product allows investors to triple the gains (or losses) of MicroStrategy’s stock, while the -3x short exchange-traded product lets investors profit if the stock’s value falls, with triple leverage.</p>

<p>This move by Leverage Shares offers investors a way to leverage their outlook on Bitcoin indirectly by investing in these exchange-traded products tied to MicroStrategy’s performance. According to Leverage Shares’ Director of Strategy and Communications, Oktay Kavrak, this launch allows traders to “leverage their cryptocurrency outlook efficiently,” either to amplify potential returns or to hedge against market volatility, as noted in the company’s social media post.</p> 
<p>Euronext, a European stock exchange group, provides the benchmark indices for these products.</p> 
<p>These exchange-traded products introduce a new way for European investors to access the highly volatile world of cryptocurrency-related investments, with leverage that could be 18-20 times more volatile than standard market indexes like the S&amp;P 500.</p>
