MIAMI, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Defiance ETFs, a leader in thematic and leveraged exchange-traded funds, today announced that Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”) has authorized the resumption of trading in shares of the Defiance Daily 2X Space ETF (Cboe BZX: SPCL), following the temporary trading halt initiated by the Exchange on June 12, 2026.
The temporary halt was the result of the Exchange exercising its broad discretionary authority to halt trading in a listed ETF, as authorized by Exchange rules. The Exchange has now exercised that same authority to lift the halt and permit trading in SPCL shares to resume.
Upon resumption, shares of SPCL may again be bought and sold on the secondary market during regular market hours. Throughout the temporary halt, the underlying portfolio assets remained secure and were not impacted by the halt of trading initiated by the Exchange.
