MIAMI, Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Defiance ETFs today announced that assets under management have surpassed $8 billion, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s growth and continued investor demand for its thematic, income, and leveraged ETF offerings.
“Surpassing $8 billion in assets reflects the trust investors have placed in Defiance and in the products we build,” said Sylvia Jablonski, Chief Investment Officer of Defiance ETFs. “This milestone reinforces that trust and the strength of our lineup.”
Growth across the Defiance lineup has been supported by continued momentum in several flagship ETFs, including the Defiance Quantum ETF (QTUM), the world’s first ETF focused on quantum computing. QTUM has surpassed $3.4 billion in assets, making it one of the largest ETFs in the disruptive technology category.
Defiance’s broader growth has been driven by adoption of its leveraged single-stock ETFs, income-oriented strategies, and targeted thematic funds. The firm continues to expand its ETF lineup with an emphasis on first-to-market ideas and differentiated fund structures.
