IDX Advisors Files for Bitcoin Gold ETF with 1.25x Leverage

IDX Advisors has filed for a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) that combines Bitcoin and gold, aiming to provide capital appreciation and serve as a hedge against traditional fiat currencies. The IDX Alternative FIAT ETF will use a dynamic rebalancing strategy to adjust allocations based on market conditions, reflecting the growing interest in hybrid portfolios among investors seeking to navigate macroeconomic uncertainty.

The ETF will primarily focus on Bitcoin and gold, using futures, options, swaps, and selected exchange-traded products (ETPs) to gain exposure to these assets. The fund will not hold physical Bitcoin or gold directly but will instead invest through a Cayman Islands-based subsidiary. This structure allows for more flexible exposure to underlying digital assets while complying with U.S. tax rules. The fund will target 1.25x leveraged exposure to these assets and may hold cash, U.S. Treasuries, and other equivalents for liquidity.

The ETF's strategy involves weekly rebalancing to respond to changing market risk, ensuring the mix of assets remains aligned with momentum and volatility signals. This high-turnover, rules-based allocation model prioritizes stability across market cycles rather than chasing short-term rallies. The fund may allocate less than 40% to secondary assets such as Ether, silver, and blockchain-linked equities, providing broader exposure to the digital and commodity ecosystems.

This hybrid strategy could appeal to investors seeking diversification without committing fully to crypto or traditional commodities. The filing comes with an effective date of September 8, 2025, pending SEC review. If approved, it could join the growing suite of digital-asset ETFs aimed at offering regulated exposure to volatile but increasingly popular assets.
