An actively managed ETF: aims for twice the daily return of Rigetti Computing (RGTI) stock, using swaps and options. Because it resets daily, longer-term returns can differ a lot from twice Rigetti's.
RGTX, the Defiance Daily Target 2X Long RGTI ETF, is a $43 million ETF whose main story is the quantum frontier. Over the past year it returned −95.7%, against +16.8% for broad US ETFs. Figures to October 2, 2026; past performance, not a recommendation.

Total return on the market price, with each distribution reinvested on its ex-date. Not the NAV return the issuer publishes; the two differ when the ETF trades above or below the value of its holdings. The narrative is the asset-weighted return of the unlevered ETFs that carry it. The market is the asset-weighted return of broad US index ETFs. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
