Direxion Unveils AMD Single Stock Leveraged and Inverse ETFs

Direxion

Direxion, a leading provider of tradeable ETFs, today announced bringing an additional pair of Single Stock Leveraged and Inverse ETFs to market. The two new funds allow active traders to obtain magnified, or inverse, exposure to the daily performance of the common stock of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) through either the Direxion Daily AMD Bull 2X Shares (Ticker: AMUU) or the Direxion Daily AMD Bear 1X Shares (Ticker: AMDD). “AMD has a wealth of digital semiconductor expertise and is well-positioned to prosper from continued favorable trends in both artificial intelligence and data centers,” said Direxion CEO, Douglas Yones. “AMUU and AMDD provide focused exposure for traders to express their short-term conviction on a major player in this ever-expanding sector." The global landscape is rapidly evolving, presenting new challenges and opportunities. As the artificial intelligence and semiconductor industries continue to show promising growth, Direxion is committed to providing traders with timely vehicles to align with the shifting dynamics of the financial markets. As ground-breaking products built for active traders, Direxion’s pairs of single stock leveraged and inverse ETFs are meant to be used for short-term trading purposes. Leveraged and inverse single stock ETFs should not be viewed as buy and hold investments, but rather trading tools for traders with a high-risk tolerance. In addition, unlike traditional ETFs, or even other levered and/or inverse ETFs, these ETFs track the price of a single stock rather than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification. All Direxion leveraged and inverse ETFs are intended only for investors with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with seeking leveraged investment results, and who plan to actively monitor and manage their positions. There is no guarantee these ETFs will meet their objective. Please visit the Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETF Education Center, where you will find educational brochures, videos, and a self-paced online course to help you understand if leveraged and inverse ETFs – including single stock ETFs – are right for you. About Direxion: Direxion equips investors who are driven by conviction with ETF solutions built for purpose and fine-tuned for precision. These solutions are available for a broad spectrum of investors, whether executing short-term tactical trades, or investing in thematic strategies. Direxion’s reputation is founded on developing products that precisely express market perspectives and allow investors to manage their risk exposure. Founded in 1997, the company has approximately $47.0 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2024. For more information, please visit www.direxion.com. There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives. For more information on all Direxion Shares ETFs, go to www.direxion.com, or call us at 866.301.9214. An investor should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Direxion Shares. To obtain a prospectus and summary prospectus call 866.476.7523 or visit our website at direxion.com. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Investing in the funds involves a high degree of risk. Unlike traditional ETFs, or even other leveraged and/or inverse ETFs, these leveraged and/or inverse single-stock ETFs track the price of a single stock rather than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification. Leveraged and inverse ETFs pursue daily leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives which do not use leverage. They seek daily goals and should not be expected to track the underlying stock’s performance over periods longer than one day. They are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by investors who understand leverage risk and who actively manage their investments. The Funds will lose money if the underlying stock’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Bull Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock’s performance increases, and the Bear Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock’s performance decreases, over a period longer than a single day. Investing in the Funds is not equivalent to investing directly in AMD. Direxion Shares Risks – An investment in a Fund involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Each Fund is non-diversified and includes risks associated with a Fund concentrating its investments in a particular security, industry, sector, or geographic region which can result in increased volatility. A Fund's investments in derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other investments, including imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility and lack of availability. As a result, the value of an investment in a Fund may change quickly and without warning. Leverage Risk – The Bull Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. A total loss may occur in a single day. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with AMD and may increase the volatility of the Bull Fund. Daily Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Bull Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with AMD and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The Bull Fund’s exposure to AMD is impacted by AMD’s movement. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Bull Fund will be perfectly exposed to AMD at the end of each day. The possibility of the Bull Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to AMD increases on days when AMD is volatile near the close of the trading day. Daily Inverse Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Bear Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with AMD and therefore achieve its daily inverse investment objective. The Bear Fund’s exposure to AMD is impacted by AMD’s movement. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Bear Fund will be perfectly exposed to AMD at the end of each day. The possibility of the Bear Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to AMD increases on days when AMD is volatile near the close of the trading day. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Investing Risk – AMD faces risks associated with: the highly-competitive nature of the semi-conductor industry, which includes large dominant participants; economic and market uncertainty; reductions in demand for its products; potential concentration of revenues in a few large clients; geopolitical events and pandemics; adequate protection of technology or other intellectual property; exchange rates; among other risks. Semiconductor Industry Risk – Semiconductor companies may face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel and may face risks related to the availability of materials. Technology Sector Risk — The market prices of technology-related securities tend to exhibit a greater degree of market risk and sharp price fluctuations than other types of securities. Additional risks of each Fund include Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk, Derivatives Risk, Counterparty Risk, Rebalancing Risk, Intra-Day Investment Risk, Industry Concentration Risk, Market Risk, Indirect Investment Risk, and Cash Transaction Risk. Additionally, for the Direxion Daily AMD Bear 1X Shares, Shorting or Inverse Risk. Please see the summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of these and other risks of a Fund.

A Fully-Charged EV Battery In Minutes: U Power And SAIC Motor-CP Team Up To Make It A Reality In Thailand

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin Benzinga The world may have no choice but to transition to electric vehicles (EVs), with or without the help of government incentives and regulations. The environment demands it, and that is a big reason why sales of EVs are estimated to grow by double-digits on average every year. By 2030, there are expected to be 40 million EVs traversing the roads and bridges around the world. However, to reach mass adoption and replace gas-guzzling, emissions-producing vehicles, some challenges need to be addressed – particularly when it comes to charging infrastructure. Concerns about range, battery life and availability of charging stations loom large in the decision-making process for consumers. Fears of getting stuck or waiting hours to charge up keep many consumers on the sidelines. Studies show consumers are still reluctant to purchase an EV, despite expressing interest in this type of vehicle. The current charging experience makes this reluctance understandable. Charging stations have been reported to experience lots of reliability issues from damaged and broken charging cords to network failures. Many consumers complain of unresponsive screens and slow charging speeds. Charging stations have been slow to roll out which can cause congestions at the available locations. None of this bodes well for a future in which EVs are ubiquitous. Swapping Instead Of Charging U Power Limited (NASDAQ: UCAR), the Chinese EV power solution company, is aiming to change this dynamic with its advanced UOTTA technology. This technology enables consumers and fleet operators to replace dead EV batteries with fully charged ones in under five minutes. That removes the time challenges, and with swapping stations eventually located throughout China, it eliminates the fear of running out of battery life. The company offers customers an entire battery-swapping ecosystem, from building the infrastructure to managing it. Its prowess in the industry was recently on display, entering into yet another partnership to further its technology in the marketplace – this time with SAIC Motor-CP, the Chinese auto manufacturer. U Power signed a cooperation agreement with SAIC Motor-CP to integrate its battery-swapping technology into MG brand vehicles in Thailand. Initially the partnership is focused on the taxi and ride-hailing markets in Thailand, with plans for future expansion. The two companies are combining U Power's UOTTA battery-swapping technology with SAIC Motor-CP's automotive expertise to address charging infrastructure challenges in Thailand's growing EV market. U Power will adapt its technology and develop a network of swapping stations, while SAIC Motor-CP will provide technical expertise and warranty support. Lots Of EVs To Charge It's a big deal for U Power, given the taxi and ride-sharing market in Thailand is big, with more than 300,000 vehicles providing rides to customers. Projections call for 50% of the vehicles to be electric within five years, which creates a potential market of 150,000 vehicles for U Power to serve. The company said that the rate of EVs on the roads supports a network of 500 to 750 battery-swapping stations across major urban centers. Then there’s Thailand’s EV3.5 policy, which was created to encourage EV development. It includes subsidies and the reduction of import and excise taxes on batteries. That policy is expected to boost annual EV adoption growth to between 30% and 40%, reports U Power. “This partnership represents a significant milestone in accelerating electric vehicle adoption in Thailand's commercial transportation sector," said Li Jia, Chairman and CEO of U Power. “ Our battery-swapping technology offers a practical solution to the charging challenges faced by high-utilization vehicles. In addition, this collaboration builds on strong existing relationships between our two companies, notably through Chatchaval Jiaravanon, U Power's second-largest shareholder and member of the Thai CP Group family, whose deep understanding of both organizations has helped facilitate this strategic alignment. We are eager to work together to drive innovation and build the foundation for Thailand's EV future.” Commercial Markets First Given the sheer size of the commercial market it’s not surprising that U Power and SAIC Motor-CP are focused on that area in the deal’s first iteration. It provides consistent revenue streams and faster ROI than the consumer market, reports U Power. To pull it off, U Power said its UOTTA technology has to be adapted for tropical climate conditions, a localized battery management system has to be developed and the charging stations need to be integrated with Thailand’s power grid infrastructure. If it works out, the companies said it could be a model for further expansion as they try to overhaul the charging battery market. “The ability to quickly swap batteries rather than wait for charging will be transformative for the taxi and ride-hailing sectors, where vehicle downtime directly impacts business performance,” added Feng Zhao, President of SAIC-Motor CP. “We are confident this collaboration will accelerate Thailand's transition to sustainable commercial transportation while establishing a model that can be replicated in other markets."

How Skyren DAO Looks To Bring Value To Ethereum Users With Automated Airdrop Farming

Skyren DAO

By Simon Frasier Meta Description: Ethereum remains the backbone of DeFi, but high fees and inefficiencies have driven users away. Skyren DAO’s automated airdrop farming model is making Ethereum profitable again, allowing users to earn passively across multiple DeFi ecosystems. Ethereum has been the foundation of decentralized finance (DeFi) since the sector’s inception. From Uniswap to Aave, MakerDAO to Curve, Ethereum has enabled the most successful DeFi applications and remains the largest ecosystem for decentralized protocols. But despite its dominance, Ethereum has struggled with usability and accessibility, pushing investors toward alternative blockchains. High gas fees, manual processes, and network congestion have made it difficult for smaller investors to capitalize on DeFi opportunities, particularly airdrop farming — one of the fastest-growing passive income strategies in crypto. Skyren DAO is helping Ethereum users regain their edge, providing a fully automated solution for farming airdrops across multiple projects. The platform removes the barriers that once made Ethereum too costly for smaller DeFi participants, streamlining the process by automating tracking and claims. Why Airdrop Farming on Ethereum Has Been a Challenge Airdrop farming has gained traction as a passive income strategy in DeFi, allowing participants to receive early-stage token distributions that could grow in value over time. However, Ethereum’s high transaction costs and the manual nature of airdrop claims have made participation difficult for many users. Gas fees make claiming small airdrops inefficient, sometimes costing more than the tokens themselves. Manual tracking is required to monitor multiple projects, as there is no standardized system for airdrop participation. Security risks increase, as scam projects often use airdrops to lure investors into malicious contracts. These challenges have pushed many DeFi users away from Ethereum, opting instead for lower-cost networks like Solana and Polygon, where airdrops are easier and cheaper to claim. Skyren DAO is addressing these issues head-on, making Ethereum-based airdrop farming accessible again through automation, AI-driven analytics, and multi-chain integration. How Skyren DAO is Fixing Ethereum’s Problem Skyren DAO operates as the first decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) dedicated to airdrop farming, meaning it actively seeks and collects airdrops from multiple DeFi projects on behalf of its users. Instead of requiring investors to manually track and claim rewards, Skyren DAO’s automated system ensures: AI-driven airdrop detection, scanning Ethereum’s ecosystem for high-value opportunities. Automated claiming, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Gas optimization, reducing Ethereum’s high transaction costs through strategic batch claims. Ethereum’s long-term success depends on keeping users engaged, ensuring that they don’t migrate to lower-cost blockchains. This model brings Ethereum users back into the DeFi sector, allowing them to benefit from airdrop farming without being limited by high costs or technical barriers. Why Automated Airdrop Farming Could Change Ethereum’s DeFi Landscape For years, DeFi participants have had to actively track airdrop opportunities, meet eligibility requirements, and manually claim rewards. The process requires constant monitoring and gas fees that sometimes exceed the value of the tokens received. As competition increases, many smaller investors find themselves unable to take full advantage of Ethereum-based airdrops, leaving significant rewards untapped. Skyren DAO is exploring an alternative approach, using automated airdrop collection to simplify participation. Instead of relying on manual tracking and claiming, the system identifies and secures airdrops across multiple projects, reducing the effort and costs associated with the process. If widely adopted, this model could broaden access to Ethereum’s airdrop ecosystem, allowing more users to engage in DeFi without the traditional barriers. Automated airdrop farming could reduce costs and simplify access, allowing more Ethereum users to take advantage of token distributions. Expanding participation in airdrops may lead to greater engagement across DeFi projects, making reward opportunities more inclusive and efficient. Will Skyren DAO Bring Ethereum Back to the Top? Ethereum has been the leader in DeFi for years, but scalability issues and rising costs have threatened its dominance. Skyren DAO is offering a much-needed solution, enabling seamless, automated airdrop farming that reduces costs and maximizes participation. With Ethereum’s DeFi sector facing increased competition, projects like Skyren DAO could be essential to ensure that users continue to see value in participating on the network. Whether or not automated airdrop farming becomes the next major trend is unclear. Skyren DAO looks to benefit Ethereum to remain competitive in the evolving world of DeFi.

Everything Blockchain's New Strategy Offers Investors Unparalleled Access To $3.2 Trillion Crypto Opportunity With Limited Risk

Raz

Excitement over upcoming executive orders and other policy actions that could revolutionize the US cryptocurrency industry has helped propel cryptocurrencies to over $3.2 trillion in market capitalization in recent months, and it appears that this momentum won't be slowing anytime soon. Earlier this month, President Trump’s crypto czar David Sacks and chairs from multiple House and Senate committees held a press conference announcing the formation of a joint working group to advance crypto legislation. Sacks went on to further state that he looked forward to working with Congress in "creating a golden age in digital assets" and ensuring American dominance in digital assets, further reaffirming the brightening prospects of the crypto industry. But while crypto may present a compelling investment opportunity, exposure to exchange hacks, private key mismanagement, and custody failures have prevented more risk-averse investors from participating in these gains. Furthermore, traditional crypto investing has presented significant challenges, including regulatory uncertainties, complex tax reporting, and self-custody risks. Luckily, Everything Blockchain (OTCMKTS:EBZT), an SEC-regulated public company, is redefining how investors can access the next wave of the crypto financial revolution. The company is focused on creating sustainable growth and value for its shareholders by providing exposure to Solana, the world’s third largest cryptocurrency by market cap. EBZT's focus on growing its Solana Treasury Reserve offers investors a unique opportunity to tap into the massive potential of Solana and the broader blockchain ecosystem through a single, strategically managed investment. Essentially, the company provides a trusted alternative to direct crypto ownership and, at the same time, eliminates exposure to exchange hacks, private key mismanagement, and custody failures, making it more appealing to a broad range of investors. Investing in EBZT stock also streamlines tax obligations, removing the burden of tracking countless crypto transactions and capital gains calculations. Gains and dividends are treated like traditional equities, ensuring seamless tax reporting and compliance. More importantly, this business model is built on a proven strategy, as illustrated by MicroStrategy’s exceptional success. MicroStrategy, which recently rebranded to Strategy, is the world’s first and largest publicly traded Bitcoin treasury company. Since 2023, bitcoin prices have increased 145%, while Strategy shares have surged more than 450%. By using proceeds from equity and debt financings, as well as cash flows from its operations, the company strategically accumulates bitcoin to provide investors with varying degrees of economic exposure to bitcoin by offering a range of securities, including equity and fixed-income instruments. However, there are plenty of good reasons why EBZT decided to focus on Solana and build its SolReserve strategy. For starters, Solana is the fastest-growing blockchain platform in the industry, being home to 1,000+ active projects and over 400 decentralized apps. Solana has seen a 600% increase in total value locked (TVL) in DeFi protocols over the past year alone, further illustrating the growing investor confidence in the platform. More AI crypto startups are increasingly adopting Solana, and Trump’s coin launch on Solana reinforces its staying power and credibility. With more DeFi projects launching on Solana, demand for SOL is rising fast, and institutions are paying attention. Some analysts now predict that Solana could top $600 in the near term and as high as $3,211 by 2030, according to VanEck Research. Apart from that, recent data suggests that Solana is emerging as the superior choice for crypto investors when compared to Ethereum. As a matter of fact, Solana processed 5.053 billion transactions in the last 3 months alone, far outpacing Ethereum’s 1.138 billion. Furthermore, Solana recorded $1.975 trillion in DEX transactions, more than 3.5x Ethereum’s $504.83 billion, demonstrating its growing dominance in decentralized trading. Solana now appears to be the go-to platform for retail traders, as illustrated by the fact that Pump Fun generated $100 million in 217 days, setting a record for on-chain adoption. EBZT differentiates itself from direct Solana ownership or the Solana ETF based on a number of reasons. First, it offers investors diversified exposure, allowing them to gain access to Solana’s thriving ecosystem and the wider blockchain industry, all through one investment. Investors' returns are then maximized through advanced staking and validator operations, going beyond traditional asset appreciation to ensure yields are optimized. Staking Solana creates additional revenue streams, driving dividends and reinvestment opportunities. Shareholders have the potential to receive dividends in cryptocurrency, offering a tangible and innovative benefit. And on top of that, EBZT’s expert team actively manages treasury and investments to seize market opportunities and mitigate risks. The company also targets additional revenue channels, like investing in high-growth crypto AI companies, the fastest-growing sector in blockchain, as well as developing and launching its own crypto AI projects on Solana. This structure creates efficient operations thanks to the low expense burn rate, which ensures sustainable growth, and like MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy, that approach can attract institutional and retail interest, amplifying valuation. Basically, for any amount raised, the funds are added directly to the company’s market cap. Think of it this way. In summary, the main takeaway here is that through strategic initiatives like the SolReserve treasury, EBZT can create long-term value and pioneer innovative income-generating opportunities for its investors free from the risks associated with direct crypto investments. As an SEC-regulated public company, EBZT adheres to strict governance, financial auditing, and enterprise-grade risk management—providing investors with a level of oversight and security unmatched in the crypto sector.

Meme Coin Showdown: PEPE & SHIB Stalling, Cutoshi’s Presale Leads the Next 100x Wave

Cutoshi

The meme coin industry, once mainly inspired by virality, is now changing. While Pepe (PEPE) coin and Shiba Inu (SHIB) struggle to provide gains, a new contender is at the center of attention, with its deflationary presale and full-fledged ecosystem. Analysts suggest this Ethereum-based token, inspired by Satoshi Nakamoto’s ideas, can be the next 100x altcoin in 2025. PEPE & SHIB: Limitations PEPE and SHIB are heavily dependent on meme culture and community hype. However, their lack of utility has now become a big concern for them. Experts believe that to have relevance in the market in the long term, a project needs to have some functionality that adds value to the lives of users. Both SHIB and PEPE seem to be missing that. Adding to that, SHIB’s infinite supply and PEPE’s overreliance on market sentiment leave them vulnerable as investors pivot toward projects with tangible use cases. The memecoin sector, valued at $76.4 Billion ( CoinGecko ), is maturing and demanding more than just virality. This is where Cutoshi changes the game. It is a project that uses the Lucky Cat’s cultural symbolism of prosperity and couples it with a DeFi ecosystem that is designed for growth. Unlike its competitors like PEPE and SHIB, Cutoshi is creating a path to financial freedom. Cutoshi’s USPs Cutoshi’s presale structure is a masterclass in deflationary design. With 55% of its 440 million tokens allocated to presale along with a 7% burn event, it has limited supply. This contrasts sharply with SHIB’s inflationary model. But Cutoshi’s real strength lies in its ecosystem: Multi-Chain DEX: This platform allows cross-chain swaps with a 0.25% fee, funneling 80% back to liquidity providers. This is 100% a win for decentralized trading efficiency. Gamified Farming: Users earn $CUTO through quests. This increases engagement and gives the community a chance to earn passive income. Educational Hub: The Cutoshi ecosystem also provides free resources that educate common people about DeFi, blockchain, and Web3. However, there will be paid modules, too which will require $CUTO coupons. Hence, the creation of demand for Cutsohi tokens. These tools position Cutoshi as a “MemeFi” champion, bridging the gap between meme culture and real-world utility. Analysts Predict a 100x Wave Top traders feel that the next crypto cycle will favor tokens like Cutoshi, which leverage DeFi fundamentals. Its Ethereum foundation also gives it an edge over Solana-based meme coins. PEPE, SHIB or Cutoshi: Which One to Buy? While PEPE and SHIB are obviously industry legends, Cutoshi represents evolution. Its presale is ending soon and has already raised more than $1.6 million. Cutoshi offers more than luck - it provides the tools for financial autonomy. So, if you are looking for the meme coin that can be the next PEPE, SHIB, or DOGE in terms of returns, Cutoshi might just be the one.
