SKHX and SKHZ will give active traders immediate long and short exposure to one of the AI era’s most consequential companies – from the firm that’s made a habit of being first.
GREENWICH, Conn., July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The wait is almost over.
As SK Hynix prepares to make its highly anticipated public market debut, Leverage Shares by Themes announces that the Leverage Shares 2x Long SK Hynix Daily ETF (Ticker: SKHX) and the Leverage Shares 1x Short SK Hynix Daily ETF (Ticker: SKHZ) will begin trading on Cboe on July 13.
The Trade Is On
SK Hynix isn’t just another IPO. As the world’s leading supplier of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) powering advanced AI chips, it has become one of the defining companies of the AI infrastructure buildout. Now, investors can trade that story from the opening bell. Whether the view is that SK Hynix continues its momentum or faces a post-IPO reality check, SKHX and SKHZ give active traders efficient tools to express either conviction.
Two Funds. Every Angle.
- SKHX seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, corresponding to 200% (2x) of the daily performance of SK Hynix common stock.
- SKHZ seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, corresponding to -100% (-1x) of the daily performance of SK Hynix common stock.
A Leading Track Record
This isn’t Leverage Shares by Themes’ first rodeo around a landmark IPO. When SpaceX went public, the firm launched the Leverage Shares 2X Long SpaceX Daily ETF (SPCH) and the Leverage Shares 2X Short SpaceX Daily ETF (SSPC) and the market responded emphatically. SPCH and SSPC combined for more than $500 million in first-day trading volume, with SPCH alone standing as the most actively traded leveraged SpaceX product on the market that day. It was the strongest ETF debut the industry has ever seen.
That track record – being early, being liquid, and doing it at a competitive price – is exactly what Leverage Shares by Themes is bringing to SK Hynix.
Industry-Low Fees. No Compromises.
Both funds will carry a 0.75% management fee, among the lowest in the single-stock leveraged ETF category: the same investor-friendly pricing that powered the firm’s SpaceX launch.
“The debut of SK Hynix marks one of the biggest moments in AI investing this year,” said Jose C. Gonzalez Navarro, CEO and Co-Founder of Themes ETFs. “We saw with SPCH and SSPC what happens when traders are given immediate, transparent access to a landmark listing at a fair price: they show up. When companies like SK Hynix come to market, investors shouldn’t have to wait for the right tools. SKHX and SKHZ give traders that same immediate, transparent access to one of the most important AI stories in the market – long or short – and they do it at a fee that respects the investor.”
The launch reinforces Themes ETFs’ commitment to bringing innovative trading products to market when investor demand is highest, delivering timely, cost-efficient strategies for sophisticated investors and active traders.

A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
Newly launched Funds have risks associated with a limited operating history.
Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from 200% (for 2x) or -100% (for -1x) of the return of the underlying stock over the same period. The Fund will lose money if the underlying stock performance is flat over time, and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying stock’s volatility and the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money over time while the underlying stock’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day. The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged (2x, -1x) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a single day, 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. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment for all leveraged funds (2x, -1x). For the 2x fund if the price of the underlying stock falls by more than 50% (for 2x) one trading day, an investor could lose the full principal value of their investment.
Under the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of the Fund, except for the fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, interest charges on any borrowings, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution (12b-1) fees and expenses.
