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. 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 95% 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.

CRCA in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: CRCA returned +39.7% where its own daily promise gave +47.6%, 8.0 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times CRCL's 32.6% implies +65.3%, which makes CRCA look 25.6 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. CRCA aims to return +2 times CRCL's move each day, then resets. CRCL moved at 85% annualized over that window.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, CIR or CRCA?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, CIR finished 3.7 points from what its multiple implies and CRCA finished 25.6 points from its own, so CIR came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are CIR and CRCA levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Circle Internet, CIR at +2 times and CRCA at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, CIR or CRCA?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window CIR’s moved at 95% annualized and CRCA’s at 85%, so CIR has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold CIR or CRCA 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.
Which is cheaper, CIR or CRCA?
CIR charges 0.45% a year and CRCA charges 0.95%, so CIR is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
