Risk
- Leverage cuts both ways. Each token targets 2x to 6x the move of its assets. Losses are multiplied too.
- Wipeout.
- iVOL: Aims for about 6x the move of BTC between rebalances (~every 4h) in the same direction (before fees, funding and rebalancing; results can differ over time). A drop of about 17% could wipe it out; the vault position may be closed before that.
- VOL: Aims for about 6x the move of BTC between rebalances (~every 4h) in the opposite direction (before fees, funding and rebalancing; results can differ over time). A rise of about 17% could wipe it out; the vault position may be closed before that.
- BULL: Aims for about 3x the move of BTC and HYPE between rebalances (~every 4h) in the same direction (before fees, funding and rebalancing; results can differ over time). A drop of about 33% could wipe it out; the vault position may be closed before that.

- iBEAR: Aims for about 2x the move of BTC, ETH and SOL between rebalances (~every 4h) in the same direction (before fees, funding and rebalancing; results can differ over time). Lower leverage, same risk of loss: a large adverse move can erase most or all value.
- BEAR: Aims for about 2x the move of BTC, ETH and SOL between rebalances (~every 4h) in the opposite direction (before fees, funding and rebalancing; results can differ over time). Lower leverage, same risk of loss: a large adverse move can erase most or all value.
- Rebalancing. The token rebalances about every 4 hours or after a 10% move. In choppy markets those resets lose money even if prices end flat. Over several days, returns can differ a lot from N times the move of the assets, especially in choppy markets.
- Costs inside the token. Management fee, trading fees and funding reduce value over time.
- Liquidity. Instant sells are limited by the USDC the vault holds. Vaults can be paused.
- Admin control: the vault admin can pause withdrawals, change settings and upgrade code without an on-chain timelock. Who holds the keys.
- Smart contracts and bridges. Contracts can have bugs; bridges add delay and their own risk.
- Past changes shown on this site are not a forecast.
