Bitcoin “After Dark” ETF Filing Reveals Potential Strategy for Alpha, as Leveraged ETFs Hit Record $239 Billion in AUM

A new exchange-traded fund (ETF) proposal has emerged targeting Bitcoin’s (BTC) price movements outside U.S. trading hours, where historical data shows much of the cryptocurrency’s gains occur.

On December 9, 2025, Tidal Trust II filed a Form N-1A registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the Nicholas Bitcoin and Treasuries After Dark ETF. This fund would adopt a unique timing strategy.

The ETF would acquire Bitcoin exposure via futures, options, or other U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETPs/ETFs around 4:00 p.m. ET when U.S. markets close, holding positions through the night. Positions would be unwound by 9:30 a.m. ET when markets reopen, with assets rotating into short-term U.S. Treasuries to minimize daytime volatility.

The rationale stems from analysis showing that a significant portion of Bitcoin’s 2024 price appreciation happened post-U.S. close, potentially allowing this ETF to outperform traditional spot Bitcoin funds by capturing “overnight returns” while sidestepping intraday dips often linked to U.S. equity market flows.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted this could yield “better returns,” though it introduces timing risks and execution costs. This filing reflects the maturing Bitcoin ETF market, which has amassed over $118 billion in assets despite recent outflows like $3.48 billion in November 2025.

If approved, it would join a lineup of specialized products, signaling innovation amid BTC’s push toward $94,000 as of December 9. Currently, BTC trades around $92,000, up from recent lows but facing volatility amid Fed rate speculation.

Spot BTC ETFs saw $4 billion in outflows in November 2025 but rebounded with $287 million inflows on December 9. With $118 billion in BTC ETF assets under management, this filing reflects maturation in the space. Issuers are innovating beyond plain-vanilla spot/futures products to target niches like time-based strategies.

If approved, it could inspire similar “microstructure-engineered” ETFs, enhancing options for risk-averse investors. However, approval isn’t guaranteed—SEC scrutiny on crypto products remains high, especially post-2024 election shifts.

Next StepsThe SEC will review the filing, with a decision timeline potentially spanning 75 days. Investors should watch for updates on tidaletfs.com or SEC filings. This proposal underscores Bitcoin’s 24/7 nature clashing with traditional finance’s 9-to-5 model, potentially offering a “sleep-easy” way to bet on overnight edges.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s Strive Raises $500M for Bitcoin Expansion

In parallel, Strive Asset Management—co-founded by entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy—announced a $500 million “at-the-market” (ATM) preferred stock offering to bolster its Bitcoin treasury strategy.

The proceeds from selling Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock will primarily fund Bitcoin acquisitions. Purchasing additional BTC and related products, building on Strive’s current holdings of 7,525 BTC valued at ~$694–695 million, ranking it as the 14th-largest corporate holder.

Working capital, debt repayment, share buybacks, and investments in income-generating assets. This move emulates MicroStrategy’s (MSTR) playbook under Michael Saylor, using equity raises to amass BTC without dilution or heavy debt reliance.

Strive pivoted to a full Bitcoin treasury model in May 2025 via a reverse merger with Asset Entities and further expanded in September through acquiring Semler Scientific, a medical device firm with substantial BTC reserves.

CEO Matt Cole recently advocated for index providers like MSCI to include Bitcoin-holding firms in passive funds. The announcement drove Strive’s common stock up over 3% to $1.02, reflecting investor enthusiasm despite an 18% unrealized loss on its BTC stash.

If fully deployed at current prices ~$92,000/BTC, the raise could add ~5,400 BTC, potentially elevating Strive into the top 13 corporate holders. These developments underscore surging institutional Bitcoin adoption in late 2025, with ETFs innovating for niche strategies and corporates treating BTC as a balance-sheet staple.

Amid BTC’s volatility testing $92K–$94K, they signal confidence in long-term upside, though regulatory hurdles and market risks remain.

Leveraged ETFs Hit Record $239 Billion in AUM

Assets under management (AUM) in U.S. leveraged ETFs reached a new all-time high of $239 billion as of the end of Q3 2025.

This marks a significant surge, reflecting heightened investor appetite for amplified market exposure amid ongoing bull market momentum, AI-driven growth in tech sectors, and expectations of further Fed rate cuts.

The figure represents roughly 0.2% of the total U.S. stock market capitalization ~$125 trillion, but it underscores a broader trend of risk-on behavior. Leveraged ETFs, which use derivatives and debt to deliver 2x or 3x the daily performance of underlying indices like the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, or sectors like semiconductors, have benefited from 2025’s equity rebound.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit fresh highs in Q3, fueled by tech and defense stocks. For instance, gold miners and aerospace/defense leveraged funds like Direxion Daily Aerospace & Defense Bull 3X (DFEN) posted triple-digit gains earlier in the year.

Net inflows into leveraged products accelerated in H2 2025, with investors rotating from low-yield money market funds which crossed $8 trillion AUM in November. This aligns with broader ETF trends: Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF (VOO) saw $20.8 billion in November inflows alone, the second-highest monthly figure in four years.

Top leveraged ETFs by AUM as of late 2025 include: ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ): ~$27 billion (3x Nasdaq-100). Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X (SOXL): ~$9.7 billion (3x semiconductors). Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X (TSLL): ~$6.5 billion (2x Tesla stock). ProShares Ultra QQQ (QLD): ~$7.7 billion (2x Nasdaq-100).

These funds saw strong trading volumes like TQQQ averages 95 million shares daily and performance, with SOXL up 19% in early 2025. This ATH signals peak optimism but also elevates risks. Leveraged ETFs amplify volatility: a 1% index drop can mean 2-3% losses or more due to daily resets and compounding.

In downturns, forced liquidations can exacerbate selloffs—similar to the October 2024 crypto flash crash that wiped $19 billion in leveraged positions. Analysts like those at Goldman Sachs note parallels to pre-dot-com bubble levels in AI valuations, with the top 10 S&P 500 stocks now comprising 40% of the index.

Leveraged ETFs are short-term tools; daily resets cause “volatility decay,” eroding long-term returns in choppy markets. At 0.2% of the $125 trillion U.S. stock market cap, they’re small but amplify sentiment—liquidations during corrections like October’s crypto flash crash wiped $19 billion can exacerbate downturns.

Combined with high valuations S&P 500 P/E ~28x and concentration top 10 stocks = 40% of index, this setup echoes pre-dot-com vibes. If the bull run continues, AUM could push $300 billion by mid-2026. But a 5% pullback—overdue after 159 days—might trigger forced selling, turning a dip into a rout.

Leveraged ETFs suit tactical traders, not buy-and-hold investors. Volatility decay is the hidden performance drag that causes leveraged (and inverse) ETFs to lose value over time — even when the underlying index ends exactly where it started — whenever the market is volatile.

It is the single most important concept to understand before ever touching a 2× or 3× ETF for more than a few days. Daily Reset + Compounding AsymmetryA 3× leveraged ETF does NOT deliver 3× the return of the index over weeks or months.

It delivers exactly 3× the daily return, every single day, and then compounds those daily returns. This daily re-leveraging creates the decay because percentage gains and losses are asymmetric.

Central banks’ gold buying 634 tonnes in 9 months and $324 trillion global debt add to the macro caution. If you’re trading these, stick to short-term horizons— they’re tools for tactical bets, not buy-and-hold. For broader exposure, consider unleveraged ETFs like VOO amid the inflows.

Implications of Amazon’s $35 Billion Investment Commitment in India

Amazon ($AMZN) has officially announced plans to invest more than $35 billion across its businesses in India through 2030. This commitment was revealed on December 10, 2025, at the sixth edition of the Amazon Smbhav Summit in New Delhi.

The investment builds on the company’s existing nearly $40 billion poured into the country since 2010, positioning Amazon as India’s largest foreign direct investor in e-commerce and a major job creator.

The funds will prioritize three strategic pillars aligned with India’s national priorities. Expanding AI capabilities, including cloud infrastructure via AWS, to benefit 15 million small businesses and hundreds of millions of consumers. This includes democratizing AI access and providing AI literacy programs for 4 million government school students by 2030.

Quadrupling cumulative e-commerce exports enabled by Amazon from $20 billion as of 2024 to $80 billion by 2030, supporting “Made-in-India” products going global. Generating an additional 1 million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs by 2030.

This builds on Amazon’s current support for about 2.8 million jobs in 2024 across technology, operations, logistics, retail, and creative services. According to an Economic Impact Report by Keystone Strategy, released at the summit, the investments will enhance logistics infrastructure, digitize over 12 million small businesses, and accelerate India’s digital transformation toward an “Atmanirbhar” and “Viksit” economy.

Amit Agarwal, Amazon’s Senior Vice President for Emerging Markets, emphasized the company’s long-term vision: “We have invested at scale in growing the physical and digital infrastructure for small businesses in India, creating millions of jobs, and taking Made-in-India global.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue being a catalyst for India’s growth, as we democratize access to AI for millions of Indians, create 1 million job opportunities, and quadruple cumulative ecommerce exports enabled to $80 billion by 2030.”

This pledge comes amid a wave of tech investments in India, including Microsoft’s $17.5 billion commitment for AI and cloud infrastructure announced December 9, 2025 and Google’s $15 billion for AI data centers over five years.

It underscores Amazon’s bet on India’s booming digital economy, which is projected to be one of the fastest-growing AI markets globally. As of December 10, 2025, $AMZN shares showed modest gains in pre-market trading, up about 0.5-1% following the announcement, reflecting investor optimism about emerging market expansion amid U.S. slowdown concerns.

This could diversify Amazon’s revenue streams, with India contributing significantly to AWS growth already a key driver. Analysts view it as a positive signal for sustained international revenue, potentially boosting EPS through cost efficiencies in logistics and AI scaling.

Amazon aims to democratize AI access for millions, including tools for 15 million small businesses, enhanced shopping experiences for hundreds of millions of customers, and education programs reaching 4 million government school students through curriculum support, teacher training, and hands-on learning.

The company plans to quadruple cumulative e-commerce exports enabled from India to $80 billion by 2030, up from $20 billion to date, via a new “Accelerate Exports” program. This will support an additional 1 million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs by 2030, bringing the total to 3.8 million, building on 2.8 million jobs supported in 2024.

Infrastructure investments will include expansions in fulfillment centers, transportation networks, data centers particularly for Amazon Web Services, and digital payments, with a heavy emphasis on cloud and AI capabilities.

This pledge surpasses recent commitments from competitors like Microsoft’s $17.5 billion for AI and cloud infrastructure by 2029 and Google’s $15 billion for AI data centers over five years. It also exceeds Amazon’s own 2023 announcement of $26 billion by 2030, reflecting accelerated growth in India’s digital economy—now boasting over a billion internet users and rapid e-commerce expansion.

Amazon’s efforts have already digitized 12 million small businesses in India. However, execution risks include regulatory hurdles in India’s e-commerce sector and competition from local players like Flipkart. If you’re considering investing based on this, note that past performance isn’t indicative of future results—consult a financial advisor.

China’s Anti-Stealth Radar Capabilities is a Growing Challenge to U.S. Air Superiority

China has made significant strides in radar technology designed to counter the stealth features of U.S. fifth-generation fighters like the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II.

These aircraft rely on radar-absorbent materials, angular shaping, and internal weapon bays to minimize their radar cross-section (RCS), often reducing it to the size of a golf ball or smaller against high-frequency (e.g., X-band) radars.

However, emerging Chinese systems—particularly quantum-based radars and long-wave VHF/UHF radars—exploit different physical principles to potentially detect and track these low-observable targets.

While Chinese state media and defense firms tout these as operational breakthroughs, Western analysts emphasize that real-world effectiveness remains unproven, with challenges in accuracy, range, and integration into combat networks.

Quantum radar represents a theoretical leap from classical systems, using entangled photons pairs of light particles linked by quantum mechanics instead of radio waves. When one photon interacts with a target, it disrupts the entanglement, allowing the receiver to detect the disturbance—even from faint reflections off stealth coatings.

This could theoretically bypass traditional stealth designs optimized for microwave frequencies. In October 2025, China announced mass production of a “photon catcher”—a four-channel single-photon detector developed by the Quantum Information Engineering Technology Research Centre in Anhui province.

This ultra-low-noise device detects individual photons with 35% efficiency up from 25% in prior models and operates at temperatures as low as -120°C, enabling multi-wavelength scanning for improved imaging. Chinese state media claims this enables quantum radars to track F-22 and F-35 signatures at ranges exceeding 100 km, rendering their RCS “obsolete” by analyzing quantum noise that classical radars ignore.

Unlike radio-wave radars, quantum systems are harder to jam or spoof, as stealth aircraft can’t mimic entangled photon signatures. Prototypes reportedly succeeded in simulated tests against stealth targets.

Integration into the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force’s early-warning networks is underway, potentially neutralizing U.S. advantages in scenarios like a Taiwan Strait conflict. Experts like MIT’s Jeffrey Shapiro argue quantum radar faces insurmountable hurdles, including atmospheric interference, low signal-to-noise ratios, and scalability issues—making it more “speculative” than deployable.

U.S. countermeasures, such as infrared search-and-track (IRST) systems on F-22s, could mitigate this without relying on radar. No independent verification exists, and claims echo unfulfilled 2016-2021 prototypes.

Stealth works best against shorter-wavelength radars like X-band, 3 cm, but VHF 30-300 MHz, 1-10 m wavelengths and UHF 300-3,000 MHz, 0.1-1 m systems use longer waves that interact differently with aircraft geometry, potentially yielding detectable returns despite absorbent materials.

JY-27V unveiled at the 2025 World Radar Expo, this truck-mounted VHF radar from China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) uses active electronically scanned array (AESA) antennas for 3D tracking. It claims detection of F-22/F-35 at up to 500 km, with high-power apertures and AI-driven signal processing to filter clutter.

An upgrade from the 2016 JY-27A, it’s designed for early warning in contested airspace. YLC-8E: A UHF counterpart, also mobile and fully digital, marketed as an “anti-stealth” system. It pairs with JY-27V for layered coverage, detecting RCS as low as a “metal marble” and guiding precision strikes.

Venezuela reportedly used a similar CETC system (JY-27) to track U.S. F-35s near its borders in 2025. These radars provide broad-area surveillance, cueing higher-frequency systems for fire control. China’s networked approach integrates them with S-400-like missiles and J-20 fighters.

Reports from 2024-2025 suggest PLA radars have tracked F-22s during U.S.-South Korea exercises. Low resolution hampers precise targeting—VHF detections yield “blobs,” not locks for missiles. Stealth still reduces effective range, and jamming or low-altitude flight evades them. Russian analogs like Nebo-M face similar issues.

These advancements signal China’s $10B+ investment in quantum and anti-stealth tech, aiming to erode U.S. air dominance in the Indo-Pacific. If integrated, they could force F-22/F-35 pilots to rely more on standoff weapons or electronic warfare.

However, as one X post notes, quantum claims may be “90% propaganda,” with VHF/UHF better suited for cueing than solo kills. The U.S. is responding with next-gen jammers, hypersonics, and allied networks like AUKUS.

China’s radars can detect stealth aircraft under ideal conditions, but turning detection into a decisive edge requires overcoming technical and tactical hurdles. This arms race underscores that no technology is invincible—stealth’s era may evolve, not end.

Polymarket Surpasses FanDuel and DraftKings in November 2025 Site Visits

Polymarket has overtaken both FanDuel and DraftKings in terms of website traffic for November 2025.

According to SimilarWeb analytics a leading web traffic measurement firm, Polymarket recorded approximately 22.4 million visits during the month, edging out FanDuel’s 21.8 million and DraftKings’ 19.6 million.

This marks a significant milestone for the crypto-based prediction market platform, which has been rapidly expanding into sports and event-based betting despite regulatory hurdles in the U.S.

Polymarket’s surge aligns with its aggressive push into U.S.-accessible markets post-2024 election hype. The platform, valued at over $9 billion, saw explosive interest during the 2024 U.S. presidential race with $3.6 billion in wagers and has since pivoted to sports futures, NFL contracts, and partnerships like the UFC and PrizePicks.

This has driven consistent traffic gains—earlier in May 2025, it already hit 15.9 million visits, surpassing the sportsbooks at that time. Traditional sportsbooks like DraftKings and FanDuel owned by Flutter Entertainment are responding to the threat.

Both companies announced plans to launch their own prediction market products in late 2025, with DraftKings acquiring Railbird Technologies for federally regulated event contracts and FanDuel partnering with CME Group for financial prediction tools.

This comes amid stock dips—DraftKings shares fell ~29% in the prior month due to competitive fears—and high-profile exits from the American Gaming Association over disagreements on prediction market regulation.

Prediction platforms like Polymarket operate on a peer-to-peer model with lower fees often 0% vs. 4-5% house edges on sportsbooks, enabling broader event coverage like politics, entertainment without state-by-state licensing.

This has disrupted the U.S. betting landscape, where legal sports wagering hit $150 billion in 2024 but now faces “backdoor” competition from CFTC-regulated markets. Polymarket’s CEO, Shayne Coplan, has publicly called the FanDuel-DraftKings “duopoly” a “scam” for high consumer costs and lack of innovation.

This isn’t isolated—Polymarket also briefly topped the U.S. Apple App Store’s free sports category in early December, outranking FanDuel and DraftKings there too. Earlier in May 2025, it already hit 15.9 million monthly visits, surpassing the pair in traffic for the first time.

DraftKings and FanDuel are countering with their own prediction market launches (e.g., DraftKings Predictions and FanDuel Predicts) set for late 2025, while exiting industry groups like the American Gaming Association amid the rivalry.

Platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi are eroding traditional sportsbooks’ dominance by offering “event contracts”—binary outcomes on sports, politics, or economics—bypassing state gambling regs via CFTC oversight.

Their low fees near-zero vs. 5-10% vig on FanDuel/DraftKings and real-time probabilities appeal to savvy users seeking alpha over entertainment. Weekly volumes across these platforms hit $2 billion in late 2025, with sports now comprising 33% of Polymarket’s activity up from negligible pre-2025.

DraftKings and FanDuel, facing stock dips like DKNG -18% post-Polymarket funding news, are rushing counter-launches. FanDuel’s “Predicts” app rolls out this month via a CME Group partnership, while DraftKings acquired Railbird Technologies and uses Polymarket as a clearinghouse—ironically partnering with the disruptor.

Analysts project a $5 billion U.S. prediction market opportunity, split ~$4.4 billion sports-focused, but warn incumbents may lose 20-30% share to first-movers like Polymarket due to delayed entry.

New entrants like Robinhood, Coinbase, Underdog, Fanatics join the fray, creating a “Magnificent 13″ of platforms. There’s room for many winners if they ship hard,” with prediction markets exploding via UFC/NFL integrations.

This traffic win underscores Polymarket’s momentum as it eyes a full U.S. relaunch, potentially intensifying the rivalry. If you’re betting on the next big shift—sportsbooks adapting or prediction markets dominating—Polymarket’s even offering contracts on it.
