New York, New York, March 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Closures Due to Limited Interest Since Launch Due to their inability to attract sufficient investment assets, the Board of Trustees of the Direxion Shares ETF Trust has decided to liquidate and close ten ETFs (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), based on the recommendation of the Funds' adviser, Rafferty Asset Management, LLC. The Board concluded that liquidating and closing the Funds would be in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders.

Top ETFs that soared last week despite market swings included shipping (BWET), lithium miners (LITP), crypto bear (REKT), biotech (BBC) and rare earths (REMX).

Last week was mixed-to-downbeat for Wall Street.

One of the top reasons investors have gravitated toward cryptocurrency-related assets is the enormous upside potential. On the front-facing side of the blockchain ecosystem, the total value of all virtual currencies was around $1.99 trillion one year ago.

Since its inception in mid-July, the Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bear 1X Shares (REKT) has gained just over 8% and more could come if history repeats itself when it comes to the “September Effect.” After an August 5 sell-off, the S&P 500 has largely recovered en route to its upward trajectory.

Typically, the response to a market downturn is to wait for the red ink to subside, then to pick up the discount. However, there's another way to play bearish cycles and that is to consider exchange-traded funds that profit on downcycles.

On Wednesday, Direxion unveiled its latest strategic pair of leveraged and inverse ETFs. The new funds, the Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bull 2X Shares (LMBO) and the Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bear 1X Shares (REKT), focus on the crypto industry.
