BITU is trading at $13.54, down 4.24%, as stronger jobs data boosted September Federal Reserve rate-hike expectations.
- August data showed 162,000 jobs versus a 55,000 forecast, lifting Treasury yields and weakening appetite for rate-sensitive crypto assets.
- Bitcoin fell below $80,000, creating additional pressure for BITUβs leveraged Bitcoin exposure.
- The decline is primarily a global macro and crypto-sector reaction, not an isolated BITU event. Early trading follows BITUβs $14.14 September 4 close amid continued Bitcoin weakness.
