Tidal Financial Group and Defiance announce the closure of 8 NASDAQ-listed ETF funds, including the highly watched crypto asset-related product—the Defiance Leveraged Long and Yield Ethereum ETF (ETHI). These funds will complete their final trading on January 26, 2026, and will then be officially delisted from NASDAQ.

This move marks another wave of consolidation in the crypto derivatives ETF market. As an attempt to explore innovative investment tools for digital assets, the liquidation of these products reflects changing market demand for high-leverage crypto funds. ETHI, as a leveraged Ethereum product, faces increased risk management challenges during periods of high crypto volatility and ultimately struggled to maintain its scale.

For investors, it is necessary to handle related positions before the deadline and also serves as a reminder to exercise greater caution when selecting crypto derivatives and to carefully evaluate the long-term viability of such products.

ETHI has always been a trap. High leverage under these market conditions will eventually blow up. It's not surprising that it's now being liquidated. Wait, delisting isn't until January 2026? There's still time to run away. If you have it, sell it quickly. Another round of reshuffling, this time it's derivatives... Leveraged crypto really isn't something for ordinary people to play with. Bottoming out before liquidation? Or wait and see if there's a black swan... Honestly, these high-leverage products are poorly designed. Large fluctuations and still holding on tightly—losing money is only a matter of time. The compliant market is like this. Products that don't make money will eventually be cut, the risk is too high to handle. Why do Ethereum derivatives always die first? Feels like Bitcoin products last a bit longer. Need to move positions again... The frequency of exchanges and fund liquidations in these years has been really high.

ETHI is about to be liquidated. I've long seen that this thing can't last long; leveraged products are like that—once the wind blows, they collapse. --- Really, another derivative project has died. This market really has no mercy. --- Wait, I still haven't closed my position... I need to handle it before January 26th, it's a bit urgent. --- Leveraged Ethereum products, to put it simply, are bets on volatility. When the volatility is a bit high, they explode directly. They should have been shut down long ago. --- The problem is that liquidity is usually very poor when these products are liquidated, making it hard to exit. --- Market demand changes? It's mainly because too many people were scared out by margin calls before, and now everyone is timid.

Is ETHI going to be delisted? I've long seen that this thing is unreliable; leveraged products are inherently designed to trap retail investors. This is the price of high leverage—when volatility spikes, it can't hold up. It's better to choose products that can survive. Another case of innovation failure... I wonder how many people's money is still inside. Derivative ETFs are indeed a gamble for wealth; sticking to regular spot investment is safer. You need to rush and get out before January 26 next year; don't get caught in it.

Haha, ETHI is about to exit again. This time it didn't withstand the volatility cycle. --- Leverage products are always like this. High returns come with high risks. It's about time to clear out a batch. --- It's that time of year again—liquidation season. I need to quickly check what I still hold. --- I knew it. High-leverage crypto ETFs are never meant for long-term holding. --- Investors are overwhelmed again, messing with their positions. --- Must handle it before January next year, but honestly, who is still using these kinds of products? --- Integration of the derivatives market is a good thing. Damn trash products should just disappear. --- ETHI is done... Another case of failed innovation.

Is ETHI done? I’ve long seen that this thing wouldn’t last, leveraged products are just tools to give quick money to impatient people, nothing surprising about it. --- Another delisting... These days, it’s good enough if a reliable crypto ETF can stay alive. --- Basically, it’s because they can’t make money anymore. No matter how fancy the product, if it doesn’t have traffic, it’s doomed. The market is very honest. --- Investors should hurry and get out. Who’s still trapped inside? --- High leverage + Ethereum volatility, this combination is a time bomb in itself. Is it surprising?

Is ETHI being cut? It should have died a long time ago, the graveyard for leverage players... --- Another high-leverage product bites the dust, who’s next? --- Honestly, I feel a bit relieved to see these kinds of products shut down; leverage traders deserve it. --- That’s why I only hold spot; derivatives are just too dirty. --- Defiance’s liquidation was quite sudden this time, the holders must be really suffering. --- Leverage ETFs are basically tools to cut the leeks; the sooner they die, the better. --- Before January 26th next year, many will need to run, another wave of panic selling is coming. --- The crypto derivatives market really needs to be cleaned up; there are too many pitfalls. --- Holders are trembling... hurry up and find someone to take over, everyone. --- Another ambitious product dies due to poor risk management, what a pity.

Is ETHI crashing? Haha, I saw it coming a long time ago. High leverage in this market is just like taking a knife. --- Another innovative product has died. What about the promised future? --- See you in January 2026, everyone, don’t get caught in it. --- Leveraged ETFs are basically a time bomb; large fluctuations can lead to liquidation instantly. --- Why do these products always die first? It seems that truly institutional-grade tools don’t last long at all. --- I still remember the name ETHI, thought it was the next big thing, but now it’s about to be liquidated. --- That’s why I never touch leverage. Is risk management too difficult? That’s just nonsense. --- Someone is rushing to close their positions before the deadline again. This trade is not worth it at all. --- Hold on, what does this mean? Has the demand for Ethereum leverage really disappeared? --- Facepalm, everyone. Who still says crypto derivatives are the future?

Leverage ETFs are dead, they should have died a long time ago... really, playing with this stuff in high volatility is just like giving away money.

ETHI exploded? I’ve been saying for a long time that this thing is too risky. Leveraged products are just gambling on volatility; once the volatility is gone, they’re finished. --- Another round of liquidation, this time it’s ETHI... Feels like high-leverage ETFs are increasingly unable to survive. --- Wait, is ETHI really going to delist? I was still planning to wait for a rebound... I need to close my positions before January 2026. --- Honestly, it’s still a matter of demand not keeping up. High-leverage crypto products are just a false demand; they’ve all been blown up. --- Here we go again? Feels like I’ve seen plenty of news about ETF products saying goodbye over the past two months. Is the market consolidating or just internal competition? --- Defiance’s move was pretty harsh, shutting down 8 funds directly... ETHI investors must be feeling really bad right now. --- Leveraged Ethereum is definitely a double-edged sword. It’s great when you’re making money, but when you lose, it’s game over. No wonder it can’t hold up.
