Direxion Readies Launch of SKHL, 2X Daily Exposure to SK hynix

SKHL Builds on Direxion’s Leadership in Leveraged & Inverse Semiconductor ETFs

NEW YORK, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Direxion, a leading provider of ETFs for tactical traders, has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch the Direxion Daily SK Hynix Bull 2X ETF (SKHL). Once effective, SKHL will seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the daily performance of the SK hynix Inc.-sponsored American depositary receipt (Nasdaq: SKHY) (collectively, “SK hynix”). The Fund is expected to begin trading shortly after SK hynix’s ADR lists on Nasdaq, subject to SEC effectiveness.

SK hynix is set to begin trading on Nasdaq on July 10, 2026. Experts have reported it will be one of the largest ADR offerings in market history. The listing would open U.S. trading access to the world’s leading supplier of high-bandwidth memory, the stacked chips that sit beside AI accelerators and a primary reason SK hynix has become central to the AI data center supply chain. It is a lead memory supplier to Nvidia, including qualification on next-generation HBM4 for Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform.

“SK hynix sits at the center of the AI memory story, and few listings this year have been more anticipated,” said Mo Sparks, Chief Product Officer at Direxion. “SKHL will provide active traders a focused way to act on that conviction once the ADR is trading, and it is a natural extension of the semiconductor franchise we have built.”

SKHL would join a deep bench of Direxion semiconductor leveraged and inverse ETFs, from the firm’s flagship Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull and Bear 3X ETFs (SOXL and SOXS) to single-stock chip funds spanning Nvidia (NVDU and NVDD) and Micron (MUU and MUD). The planned Fund would add the world’s HBM leader to that toolkit, reinforcing Direxion’s standing as a leading issuer of single-stock ETFs in the U.S.

There is no guarantee these ETFs will meet their objective.

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.

The information in this Prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This Prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

Investing in the fund involves a high degree of risk. SK hynix recently commenced its initial public offering for its American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) shares and may experience heightened volatility. Unlike traditional ETFs, or even other leveraged and/or inverse ETFs, this leveraged single-stock ETF tracks the price of a single stock rather than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification. Leveraged 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 Fund will lose money if the underlying stock’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock’s performance increases, over a period longer than a single day. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing directly in SK hynix.

Direxion Shares Risks – An investment in the ETFs involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The ETFs are non-diversified and include risks associated with concentration that results from an ETF’s investments in a particular industry, sector or company, which can increase volatility. The leveraged and inverse ETFs utilize derivatives, such as futures contracts and swaps which are subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate both intra-day and over time. The leveraged and inverse ETFs do not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are a multiple of (or inverse of) the return of their respective index or underlying security for periods other than a single day. The leveraged and leveraged inverse ETFs may also be subject to leverage, correlation, daily compounding, market volatility and risks specific to an industry, sector or company. The ETFs are subject to certain risks, including imperfect index correlation and secondary market price variance, which may decrease performance. The ETFs may invest in a relatively small number of issuers and, as a result, be subject to greater risk of loss with respect to their portfolio securities than that of a fully diversified portfolio of securities. Due to the non-diversified nature of the ETFs, they may experience greater fluctuation in their net asset value as compared to other, more diversified investments. The non-leveraged ETFs may be appropriate for investors with a long-term investment time horizon, who primarily seek capital growth, and who are able to tolerate periods of prolonged price declines. Please read each ETF’s prospectus for a more complete description of the investment risks. There is no guarantee that an ETF will achieve its investment objective.

Nakama, Inc. Launches Industry-First Official B2B Marketplace Revolutionizing Global Anime Rights and Licensing

Major Anime Licensors Join Platform by the founder and former CEO of Crunchyroll to Reach Global Buyers

TOKYO and SAN FRANCISCO, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nakama, Inc., today announced the launch of AniBiz.com, the first dedicated B2B marketplace built specifically for the global anime industry. Designed to streamline the complex licensing process, the platform provides a centralized, secure environment for global buyers to officially access anime Intellectual Property (IP) and connect with anime rights holders.

With the global anime market projected to exceed $35 billion in 2026, the demand for high-quality content rights have outpaced the industry’s traditional, often fragmented, manual licensing workflows. AniBiz.com addresses these challenges by offering a digital-first solution that respects the unique structure of Japanese anime licensing, the ecosystem of rights holders, distributors, merchandisers, and retailers, while providing new global buyers with an official verified path to acquire and collaborate on anime IP.

“Anime licensing is uniquely complex. Rights are fragmented across territories, formats, products, and time windows,” said Brady McCollum, Co-Founder and CEO of Nakama, Inc. “AniBiz was built specifically for those realities. We’re creating a trusted system that gives licensors greater visibility and control while helping buyers move faster with confidence.”

“For decades, access to anime IP has largely depended on who you know. By being the official marketplace for Anime IP, AniBiz.com opens the door to entirely new categories of partners… from emerging brands and manufacturers to creators, events, and startups looking to participate in the Anime Economy,” said Kun Gao, Co-Founder and President.

The launch is supported by a coalition of anime industry titans and ecosystem leaders who recognize the need for digital modernization in the sector. Anime licensors joining the platform include ADK Emotions Inc., Aniplex of America Inc., Avex Pictures Inc., CyberAgent Inc., Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd., Dentsu Anime Solutions Inc., Fuji Creative Corporation, FURYU Pictures Corporation, Hakuhodo DY Music & Pictures Inc., Imagica Infos Co.,Ltd., Mainichi Broadcasting System, Pony Canyon Inc., TAKARATOMY, Toei Animation Inc., TOHO Global Inc., Tokyo Broadcasting System, TV Asahi Corporation, TV TOKYO Corporation, Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation, YTE and more.

“The anime industry finally has a dedicated platform to call its home for all things B2B. In true Nakama spirit, AniBiz.com enables the entire industry to band together and engage directly with the new world of global partners interested in working with anime IP. Through the AniBiz platform, all the world can now reach the anime industry in one official place,” said Sae Whan Song, Co-Founder and Head of Business Development.

Beyond simple transactions, AniBiz.com aims to foster new collaborations by lowering the barrier to entry for anyone around the world interested in working with anime IP in both established and developing international markets. By providing data-driven insights into market trends and territory-specific demand, the platform empowers licensors and production committees to make informed decisions about their global IP strategy.

The AniBiz.com platform is open to all global buyers and licensees to start onboarding today. To access the service, visit https://anibiz.com

Canadian UAVs’ Sparrowhawk™ Radar Earns Transport Canada Pre-Validated Declaration

Published

Component-level approval of the ground-based Detect-and-Avoid radar sets a global benchmark for how safe, scalable Beyond Visual Line of Sight operations are certified

CALGARY, AB, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Canadian UAVs (CUAVs) today announced that its Sparrowhawk™ ground-based Detect-and-Avoid (DAA) radar has achieved a Pre-Validated Declaration (PVD) under Transport Canada’s RPAS safety-assurance framework after ten (10) years of development and 50,000 operational hours.

For BVLOS operators, the practical impact is significant. By deploying Sparrowhawk, operators can reference Canadian UAVs’ accepted compliance evidence in their own applications rather than building DAA compliance from scratch. This enables BVLOS missions in more congested and complicated airspace by any licensed operator.

The PVD confirms that Sparrowhawk meets the requirements of Canadian Air Regulations (CARs) Standard 922; specifically, 922.10 (Detect, Alert, and Avoid Systems) and 922.12 (Demonstrated Environmental Envelope). This makes it the only configurable DAA element on Transport Canada’s published eligibility list. Sparrowhawk is also listed as a configurable element under the standard Safety Assurance Declaration (SAD) equipment list.

The distinction between a PVD and SAD matters. Under a SAD alone, a manufacturer attests compliance and Transport Canada may audit retrospectively. Under a PVD, Transport Canada reviews and formally accepts the manufacturer’s Means of Compliance plan before any declaration is made.

“This is the milestone we have been building toward for ten years, and it would not have been possible without the leadership Transport Canada has shown in detect-and-avoid regulation,” said Sean Greenwood, CEO of Canadian UAVs. “Canada is setting the standard for the world.”

Because Sparrowhawk is ground-based rather than airframe-mounted, it is not tied to a single RPAS platform. Operators have flexibility to pair the system with the aircraft their mission requires, and the DAA compliance follows. This makes it equally applicable across defence, critical infrastructure, public safety, and industry.

“The PVD process is thorough by design and does not just take your word for it. The process examines every constituent element of the system against defined criteria. With Sparrowhawk having over 50,000 operational hours, we were able to demonstrate that the system works, but our processes for deploying and supporting it are mature and repeatable.” said Mahmoud Abdelrahman, Engineering Program Manager, Canadian UAVs.

Transport Canada’s component-level review framework, one of the few in the world that validates constituent technologies rather than approving entire missions on a case-by-case basis, means the Sparrowhawk PVD carries weight beyond Canada. As other regulators develop their own BVLOS frameworks, a technology validated under Transport Canada’s evidence-based process sets a credible international reference point.

About Canadian UAVs: Canadian UAVs is the only company with a DAA product to hold regulatory authorizations with both Transport Canada and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to enable Beyond Visual Line of Sight operations. Its Sparrowhawk™ radar is a portable, ground-based detect-and-avoid system that combines radar, computer-vision techniques, and ADS-B to deliver an integrated airspace picture for safe BVLOS drone operations, supporting customers across defence, energy, agriculture, surveying, logistics, mining, critical infrastructure, and public safety throughout North America and Europe.
