1. MSTZ – T-Rex 2X Inverse MSTR Daily Target ETF
MSTZ aims to provide inverse exposure to the daily price movement of MicroStrategy Inc. stock (NASDAQ: MSTR) topped the inverse ETFs list last week with over 63% weekly gains. MicroStrategy shares tumbled last week, due to the cryptocurrency market crashing below $60,000 combined with the company’s controversial decision to break its four-year “never sell” Bitcoin pledge to fund dividend payments.
2. ETHD – ProShares UltraShort Ether ETF
ETHD, which tracks -2x the daily price movements of an index that measures the price of Ethereum ETF, ranked second on the ETFs’ list with ~55% weekly gains. Ether took a sharp hit last week, dropping to lows near $1,500 amidst a broader market-wide cryptocurrency sell-off. The decline was primarily driven by ETF outflows, cautious macroeconomic policies, and weakening network activity.
3. BTCZ – T-Rex 2X Inverse Bitcoin Daily Target ETF
BTCZ, which aims to provide (-2x) inverse exposure to the daily price movement of spot Bitcoin, featured on the list. Bitcoin’s recent dip was triggered by consecutive outflows from Spot ETFs, minor BTC liquidations by MicroStrategy, and broader risk-off market sentiment.
4. SBIT – ProShares UltraShort Bitcoin ETF
SBIT, which tracks -2x the daily price movements of an index that measures the price of Bitcoin, also made it to the list with a weekly gain of over ~44%.
5. GDXD – MicroSectors Gold Miners -3X Inverse Leveraged ETNs
GDXD, which aims to provide 300% daily inverse exposure to a market-cap weighted index comprising two gold miners ETFs, was a contender on the list, due to stronger-than-expected U.S. employment data, which drove up Treasury yields and bolstered market expectations that the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates.
6. JDST – Direxion Daily Junior Gold Miners Index Bear 2X ETF
Direxion Daily Junior Gold Miners Index Bear 2X Shares or JDST, which seeks daily investment results of 200% of the inverse of the performance of the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index, was another gold-focused top-performing inverse ETF, returning ~34% in the last week.
7. BERZ – MicroSectors Solactive FANG & Innovation -3X Inverse Leveraged ETN
The BERZ ETF, which provides daily -3x inverse exposure to an index of FANG and technology companies, also featured on the list of top-performing inverse ETFs with ~27% weekly returns, due to a hotter-than-expected May jobs report that reignited fears of the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates high, combined with widespread profit-taking and anxiety over massive, potentially unprofitable AI infrastructure spending.
8. DUST – Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bear 2x ETF
DUST, which provides inverse levered exposure to Global Gold Miners, was another top inverse ETF returning over 24% last week.
9. FNGD – MicroSectors FANG+™ Index -3X Inverse Leveraged ETN
Another tech-focused fund, the FNGD ETF, which provides inverse exposure to US big tech equity, was on the list of top inverse ETFs as the technology sector lost over 6% and was the worst-performing sector in the last five days. U.S. tech giants dipped on fears of prolonged high interest rates, profit-taking, and rising skepticism over massive AI infrastructure investments.
10. SETH – ProShares Short Ether ETF
SETH is a fund designed to profit from a decline in Ether’s price, as it tracks the inverse of its underlying index’s daily price movements. This was another Ether-focused fund on the list with ~23% weekly gains.
