MIAMI, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Defiance ETFs today announced the launch of the Defiance Daily Target 2X Long SpaceX ETF (Cboe: SPCU). SPCU begins trading today at 4am ET and seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 200% of the daily performance of SpaceX Class A common stock (NASDAQ: SPCX).
SpaceX priced its initial public offering at $135 per share and began trading on the Nasdaq on Friday, June 12, under the ticker SPCX. At that price, the company was valued at approximately $1.77 trillion, which according to reports ranks as the largest U.S. IPO in history by debut market value.
SPCU is purpose-built for active traders seeking magnified, short-term exposure to SpaceX. The Fund obtains its exposure primarily through swap agreements and/or listed options contracts rather than by holding SpaceX shares directly, allowing traders to express a high-conviction, tactical view on SpaceX in a single exchange-listed ticker, without a margin account and without managing options positions.
