The Tradr 2X Long CLSK Daily ETF (CLSX) seeks to provide 200% of the daily performance of CleanSpark Inc. (CLSK), a Bitcoin mining company that operates data centers and provides energy software solutions. This single-stock leveraged ETF amplifies both gains and losses of the underlying stock on a daily basis.
How It Works
CLSX uses derivatives including swaps and futures contracts to achieve twice the daily return of CleanSpark stock. The fund resets its leverage daily at market close, meaning the 2x multiplier applies only to single-day moves, not longer periods. As an actively managed ETF, it adjusts positions throughout the day to maintain target exposure. Holdings consist primarily of derivative instruments rather than the underlying stock itself.
Key Features
- Provides 2x leveraged exposure to CleanSpark, a pure-play Bitcoin mining stock without owning cryptocurrency directly
- Daily rebalancing mechanism allows precise short-term trading on CleanSpark's volatile price movements
- Recently launched ETF offering targeted exposure to Bitcoin mining sector through single-stock amplification
Risks
- This ETF can lose value rapidly due to daily compounding effects—if CLSK drops 10% then rises 10%, the fund does not return to break-even
- CleanSpark's extreme volatility can cause 40-80% daily swings in this leveraged ETF, making it unsuitable for risk-averse investors
- Bitcoin mining stocks face regulatory risks, energy cost fluctuations, and cryptocurrency market crashes that could cause permanent capital loss

Designed for sophisticated day traders and short-term speculators with high risk tolerance seeking amplified exposure to CleanSpark's daily moves.
