Leveraged ETFs see rapid shutdowns despite 2026 growth

Reported · Written up by our desk · ETFs

MarketWatch reports that leveraged exchange-traded funds, which aim to deliver magnified bullish and bearish exposure to market swings, are being closed at a record pace in 2026.

The outlet links the closures to the product category’s boom, noting that many of these ETFs are designed to magnify directional bets across stocks and other financial markets.

MarketWatch says the fund shutdowns are occurring even as leveraged ETFs remain a popular way for investors to seek amplified moves tied to market movements.
