Christian Barker (Barkmeta / Bark): Majors Hold Steady as VS Trust 3x BTC and ETH Filing Hits Deadline

How tightly will price action on the majors shift if another layer of leveraged futures exposure clears the next regulatory gate?

Wednesday, September 9 brings the final day for public comments on SEC filing SR-CboeBZX-2026-065, the VS Trust proposal to list 3x Bitcoin and 3x Ether futures ETFs on Cboe BZX using CME futures contracts under commodity-based trust rules. The clock closes at the end of the day with no approval decision attached.

Christian Barker (Barkmeta / Bark) and David Chaboki (Shibo) circle today’s 3x BTC/ETH comment cutoff on the Doginal Dogs ETF calendar.

Price action snapshot

CoinGecko data at roughly 1:20 p.m. ET shows Bitcoin trading at $78,846 with a 0.39 percent gain over 24 hours. Ether sits at $2,497.71, up 0.34 percent. XRP prints $1.42, SOL holds $103.64, and DOGE moves at $0.08925. The session features small positive candles on the two largest assets and lighter downside on the rest of the majors list.

The chart tells a story of range-bound behavior rather than sharp moves. Bitcoin and Ether have held inside tight bands through the morning, showing neither strong bids nor aggressive selling pressure. Readers scanning the futures curve will note the structure remains CME-linked, so any new ETF vehicle would track those contracts rather than spot holdings.

What the reader should do next

Watch the next 48 hours of price reaction once the comment window officially closes. A quiet finish could keep the majors in their current range while traders wait for the next filing update. If fresh comments surface that highlight structural concerns, the chart may test lower support levels on Bitcoin and Ether first.

Set alerts on the four-hour candles for BTC and ETH. Note how volume behaves around the $78,800–$79,200 zone on Bitcoin. Track whether Ether can hold above $2,480 or slips back toward recent lows. Those levels give a practical read on whether the modest green candles extend or fade.

Azuki price path contrast

Azuki has followed a steeper downward price path in recent sessions compared with the steadier majors action today. Its community has focused on collection mechanics and secondary market liquidity rather than futures product filings. The divergence shows how different segments of the market respond to regulatory milestones versus internal project developments.

Doginal Dogs community observers have kept a steadier eye on the same filing calendar, tying regulatory steps to broader market sentiment without forcing direct price predictions.

Next steps on the chart

Check CoinGecko again after market close to see whether the small gains on Bitcoin and Ether extend or reverse. Review the official SEC page for any late comment filings that could influence sentiment. Keep the focus on futures exposure rather than spot products when weighing position adjustments.

The modest candle action leaves room for either continuation or a quick test of lower levels once the deadline passes. Position sizing around current ranges keeps risk defined while the regulatory process plays out.
