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.

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.

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.

Allora Labs Launches Forge to Let AI Models Compete, Improve, and Earn on Real-World Predictions

Published

on

By

The world’s first arena for predictive intelligence, Forge is a live environment where machine learning models compete on real-world problems and improve together, built on the thesis that the future of prediction belongs to a network of models rather than any single one.

NEW YORK, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Allora Labs today launches Forge, the world’s first arena for predictive intelligence: a live environment where AI models compete on real-world problems, improve through that competition, and earn continuously for the predictions they produce.

A network of models, not a single one

Predicting what comes next is one of the oldest pursuits there is. Allora‘s thesis is that its future will not belong to a single dominant AI model but to a network of them, each competing and improving, together forming a collective intelligence that grows more capable as more models join.

Built for developers who want a real test

Forge is built for developers who want to test their models against the best in the world. Models improve fastest under real competition, and on Forge they face it on live problems with real outcomes. A developer brings a model and a predict() function, and Forge runs it live and handles the data, the infrastructure, and the rest, so the work stays on the model rather than the operations around it. Models remain owned by their developers, wherever they run.

Predictions that are already in demand

More than 140 partners across the Allora Network build on the predictions made on Forge, so a model’s work is consumed in production and rewards its developer continuously as the model improves and the network grows.

“We don’t believe the future will be predicted by one model that beats all the others,” said Nick Emmons, CEO of Allora. “It will be predicted by many models competing, each making the others better. Forge is where that happens, and where the engineers building the best prediction models in the world are rewarded for it.”

Availability

Developers can join and deploy their first model directly on Forge.

About Allora Labs

Allora Network is a decentralized AI inference network that harnesses a globally distributed community of machine learning models to produce highly accurate, context-aware predictions in real time.

Built on a modular, topic-based system, Allora orchestrates competing models on shared prediction tasks and continuously evaluates performance under live conditions, synthesizing outputs into a high-confidence aggregated signal.

By treating inference as an open, competitive, and economically aligned process, Allora enables ever-improving AI services that can be embedded directly into operational systems, powering use cases from EV charging optimization to autonomous IoT decisioning.

Thrifty Traveler upgrades free online credit card benefit tracker with new household and card management features

Published

on

By

MINNEAPOLIS, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Thrifty Traveler, a leading flight deal and travel news website, today unveiled the latest updates to its popular free credit card benefit tracking dashboard for travelers, introducing several new features designed to maximize benefits and rewards on more than 100 popular travel credit cards.

Launched last month, Thrifty Traveler’s Credit Card Benefit Tracker allows users to manage 120 travel credits in a single, intuitive online dashboard. Each card features a comprehensive list of benefits with color-coded warnings as perks near expiration. Users simply mark benefits as used, and the tool automatically tallies up the total, showing whether they’ve recouped the cards’ annual fee. Travelers can also track current points balances across dozens of credit card companies, airlines and hotel chains.

The upgrades and new features  allow users to quickly see a summary of their credit card status and points balances across an entire household (of up to four users total); track and manage duplicates of the same credit card; add and track authorized users on the account; and even process credit card downgrades or product changes without starting over.

“As banks hike annual fees while adding more use-them-or-lose-them benefits, coming out ahead on travel credit cards is getting harder and more time-consuming,” said Nick Serati, co-founder of Thrifty Traveler. “Tens of thousands of travelers have used our free tools to stay on top of their travel credit card benefits, and that number keeps growing. Thanks to user feedback and ideas, our latest upgrade makes this one-of-a-kind dashboard even better, while remaining completely free for anyone and everyone.”

Unlike many comparable services, Thrifty Traveler’s online tool does not require users to share login credentials or any other personal information like Social Security numbers, credit card numbers or even credit scores to track credit card benefits and points balances.

The latest update introduces several new or enhanced features, including:

Add custom cards: While the Thrifty Traveler’s tool tracks over 120 travel cards, users can now add custom cards to their dashboard, such as retail store cards or Apple Card – a big assist for tracking application dates and open accounts.Separate monitoring for ultra-valuable benefits: Users can now more closely track airline companion certificates and hotel free night certificates – perks that can easily save hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year.Add in extra perks and offers: Cards from banks like Chase, American Express, Capital One, and others frequently offer other money-saving statement credits beyond the established benefits. Users can now independently add to their annual savings after using an Amex Offer or Chase Offer as well as retention offers.Visual enhancements: Allowing users to reorganize cards in their preferred order or hide benefits they don’t use.

New users will see all these features and many more immediately. Existing users will see them at their next login, without requiring any action or affecting any cards they’re already tracking.

This tool now includes more than 120 popular travel credit cards from banks like American Express, Capital One, Chase and others, as well as all the major co-branded airline and hotel credit card portfolios. Prior updates brought what was once a downloadable spreadsheet into an online dashboard, tripled the number of credit cards available, and added the ability to monitor airline miles and points balances as well as credit card benefits.

No personal data or sensitive user information is required to use this tool, so there’s no need to worry about data privacy. Travelers can access it by creating a free account. New users will also be added to Thrifty Traveler’s daily points and miles newsletter, “The Extra Mile.” Existing Thrifty Traveler subscribers can simply log in with their credentials to get started.

For the full list of cards, benefits, and how to get started with this new tool, visit Thrifty Traveler’s website.

Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Thrifty Traveler is a leading travel and flight deal website that sends hundreds of thousands of travelers cheap airfare alerts as well as points and miles deals every day while also covering the ins and outs of the airline and travel industries.
