Themes ETF Trust Files Amendment 494 to Delay Eight Crypto ETFs

Filing Details

The number 494 identifies the Post-Effective Amendment filed by Themes ETF Trust on October 2, 2026. This document targets a single change under Rule 485(b) of the Securities Act. It designates October 30, 2026, as the new effective date for an earlier registration update originally filed on March 19, 2025.

The filing carries File Nos. 333-271700 and 811-23872 with CIK 0001976322. It also registers as Amendment No. 496 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Parts A and B from the prior amendment are incorporated by reference. Part C draws from a separate September 24, 2026, submission.

Series Covered

Eight distinct series appear in the document. They include the Leverage Shares 2X Long Bitcoin Daily ETF, the 2X Short Bitcoin Daily ETF, the 2X Long Ether Daily ETF, the 2X Short Ether Daily ETF, the 2X Long XRP Daily ETF, the 2X Short XRP Daily ETF, the 2X Long Solana Daily ETF, and the 2X Short Solana Daily ETF.

Each series would target daily leveraged exposure. The amendment confirms no immediate trading authority or exchange listing order accompanies this step. The action remains limited to registration timing.

Signers and Location

Jose C. Gonzalez, serving as Trustee and President, signed the document along with Dobromir Kamburov as Treasurer. Both acted in Greenwich, Connecticut. Remaining trustees used attorney-in-fact authorization. The signatures establish formal responsibility for the update.

Regulatory Context

This filing operates separately from any exchange listing order or 3X product approvals. It does not grant trading status. The sole stated purpose centers on extending the effectiveness window under Rule 485(b). The checked box in the form explicitly selects a new effective date for the previously submitted amendment.

The move keeps the proposal in active status without advancing it to immediate effect. No additional launch dates beyond October 30, 2026, appear in the record.

Next Steps

Market participants tracking leveraged crypto products can note the revised calendar. The October 30 date now serves as the benchmark for any further regulatory progress on these eight series. Themes ETF Trust maintains the registration through this procedural adjustment.
