New ETFs are the First and Only to Offer 2X Daily Leveraged Pure Swap Spot Exposure to Digital Assets & Precious Metals

Direxion, a leading provider of ETFs for tactical traders, today announced the launch of four new leveraged ETFs designed to provide traders with amplified exposure to digital assets and precious metals. The new funds include the Direxion Daily Bitcoin Bull 2X ETF (BTCU), Direxion Daily Ether Bull 2X ETF (EVMU), Direxion Daily Gold Bull 2X ETF (UGLD), and Direxion Daily Silver Bull 2X ETF (USLV). The launches extend Direxion’s leveraged lineup beyond equities, building on the firm’s 2022 expansion into single stock ETFs.

“Active traders want precise tools to express short-term views in the markets they’re watching most closely. Right now, that includes Bitcoin, Ether, gold, and silver,” said Mo Sparks, Chief Product Officer of Direxion. “BTCU and EVMU give traders the first and only daily leveraged pure swap spot exposure on digital assets driven by ETF flows, the halving cycle, and regulatory momentum. UGLD and USLV do the same for precious metals, where central bank buying, real rate sensitivity, and the gold-silver ratio are generating directional opportunities. This is the Direxion toolkit, extended.”

The use of derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps are subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate over time. The ETFs do not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are a multiple of the return of their respective index or underlying security for periods other than a single day. For other risks including leverage, correlation, daily compounding, market volatility and risks specific to an industry, sector or company, please read the prospectus.
