Defiance Daily Target 2X Long RGTI ETF is trading 6.9% higher as its underlying stock, Rigetti Computing (RGTI), rebounds sharply on significant company-specific news.
- Rigetti announced the launch of its 108-qubit Cepheus 1 quantum processor for broad access on major cloud platforms.
- The company also announced a non-binding agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce for up to $100 million in CHIPS Act funding, which could include the government taking an equity stake.
- The positive news follows a steep selloff in the prior session, and the ETF's 2x daily leverage is amplifying the underlying stock's rebound.
