Defiance ETFs announced the launch of the Defiance Daily Target 2X Long DRAM ETF (Cboe: DRAL), providing active traders with amplified exposure to the semiconductor memory theme central to artificial intelligence infrastructure. The fund began trading on June 25, 2026, offering a single-ticker solution for tactical positioning in the memory sector.
DRAL is an actively managed ETF that seeks daily investment results of 200% (2X) of the daily percentage change in the share price of the DRAM ETF, before fees and expenses. The fund pursues this exposure primarily through swap agreements and listed options contracts, rebalancing daily to maintain its leveraged target.
The fund is designed strictly for short-term use and is not suitable for all investors. It magnifies the performance of the underlying Roundhill Memory ETF, and for periods longer than a single day, performance will result from compounded daily returns, which is likely to differ from 200% of the underlying ETF's return over the same period. Investors could lose their entire principal within a single trading day.
Defiance ETFs LLC serves as the ETF sponsor, while Tidal Investments, LLC acts as the investment adviser. The fund is distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC. Defiance specializes in thematic, income, and leveraged ETFs, expanding its suite of tools for high-conviction positioning.
