2X SpaceX ETF / SPCU - Frequently Asked Questions

Plain-language answers to the most common questions about SPCU, the Defiance Daily Target 2X Long SpaceX ETF, and 2X SpaceX ETFs more broadly.

What is SPCU?

SPCU is the Defiance Daily Target 2X Long SpaceX ETF. It seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 2X (200%) the daily percentage change of SpaceX (Nasdaq: SPCX). It launched on Monday, June 15, 2026 and is issued by Defiance ETFs, LLC.

What is a 2X SpaceX ETF?

A 2X SpaceX ETF is an exchange-traded fund that uses derivatives (typically swaps) to deliver approximately twice the daily return of SpaceX stock (ticker SPCX). It is a single-day target - the 2X exposure resets every trading day.

How does SPCU work?

SPCU uses swap agreements that reference the daily percentage change of SPCX, sized so the Fund targets 200% of that daily move. The exposure is reset every day. SPCU does not own SpaceX stock directly.

How does 2X daily leverage work?

On any given trading day, if SPCX moves +1%, SPCU targets +2%, before fees and expenses. If SPCX moves −1%, SPCU targets −2%. The leverage factor applies only to a single day. Over multiple days, returns compound on a daily-reset basis and can deviate substantially from 2X the period return of SPCX.

Can I hold SPCU long term?

SPCU is designed for knowledgeable investors who actively monitor and manage their portfolios. Over periods longer than one day, daily compounding (path dependency) can cause SPCU's return to differ materially from 2X the cumulative return of SPCX - including losses in flat markets and losses even when SPCX rises over the period.

What happens to SPCU if SpaceX (SPCX) drops?

Because SPCU targets 200% of SPCX's daily move, a single-day decline in SPCX is amplified roughly 2X in SPCU before fees and expenses. A large enough one-day drop in SPCX could cause an investor to lose the full principal value of their investment in a single day.

Does SPCU own SpaceX stock?

No. An investment in SPCU is not a direct investment in SpaceX. SPCU obtains its SPCX exposure synthetically through swap agreements with counterparties.

What is the difference between SPCU and SPCX?

What is the expense ratio of SPCU?

The Fund's expense ratio is disclosed in its prospectus at defianceetfs.com/spcu/. Please consult the prospectus for current fees and expenses before investing.

Where can I buy SPCU?

When does SPCU launch?

SPCU's first trade date is Monday, June 15, 2026 - the same day as the SpaceX (SPCX) IPO.

Is SPCU leveraged?

Yes. SPCU targets 200% (2X) of the daily percentage change of SPCX. It is a geared, daily-reset ETF and is not suitable for all investors.
