CCUP in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: CCUP returned +41.9% where its own daily promise gave +47.6%, 5.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times CRCL's 32.6% implies +65.3%, which makes CCUP look 23.4 points short. 17.7 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. CCUP aims to return +2 times CRCL's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not +2 times the period's move: in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less, and in a steady run it can be more. CRCL moved at 85% annualized over that window. That is what decides how far the two figures separate: the same fund on a calm underlying and a violent one is a different product.
CIR in plain words
One month to Sep 30, 2026: CIR returned −31.7% where its own daily promise gave −31.2%, 0.5 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times CRCL's −14.0% implies −28.0%, which makes CIR look 3.7 points short. 3.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. CIR aims to return +2 times CRCL's move each day, then resets. CRCL moved at 95% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, CCUP or CIR?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, CCUP finished 23.4 points from what its multiple implies and CIR finished 3.7 points from its own, so CIR came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are CCUP and CIR levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Circle Internet, CCUP at +2 times and CIR at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, CCUP or CIR?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window CCUP’s moved at 85% annualized and CIR’s at 95%, so CIR has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold CCUP or CIR for a year?
- Both reset every day, so the multiple in the name applies to a single day and the daily results compound. Over a year the total is not the multiple times the year’s move, and in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less. ETFIQ makes no recommendation either way.
