Tradr's 2X Leveraged DDOG ETF Bolsters Market Exposure as Stock Ranks 112th in Volume

On August 12, 2025, Datadog (DDOG) closed with a 0.10% gain, while trading volume declined 20.8% to $0.88 billion, ranking the stock 112th in volume among listed equities. The development comes as Tradr ETFs launched the Tradr 2X Long DDOG Daily ETF (DOGD), a leveraged product designed to deliver twice the daily performance of Datadog shares. The new ETF follows Datadog’s recent inclusion in the S&P 500 Index, a move cited by Tradr as validation of the company’s growth trajectory. The product joins a broader expansion of leveraged ETFs focused on AI infrastructure stocks, reflecting investor demand for concentrated exposure to high-conviction names in the sector.

Tradr’s leveraged ETFs, which debuted in 2022 with Tesla and Nvidia offerings, aim to provide sophisticated traders with tools to express directional views without margin or options complexity. The DOGD ETF, listed on Cboe, is among 21 leveraged products in Tradr’s lineup. While the launch highlights Datadog’s market prominence, the leveraged structure inherently amplifies risk, with potential for significant losses if the underlying stock moves against the ETF’s position. Investors are urged to consider the volatility of single-stock exposure and the daily reset nature of leveraged products, which may diverge from long-term performance trends.

A backtest of a strategy purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day from 2022 to 2025 yielded a total return of 26.77% over 365 days. The approach generated a 2.78% average 1-day return, with a Sharpe ratio of 0.73, indicating reasonable risk-adjusted returns. Maximum and minimum daily returns were 8.26% and -4.17%, respectively, underscoring the volatility inherent in high-volume, short-term trading strategies.
