Defiance Files First ETF Focused on Fusion Energy Ecosystem

The Defiance Fusion ETF is designed to track the BITA Global Fusion Energy Index, providing exposure to companies across the emerging fusion energy value chain. The index includes fusion reactor developers, advanced nuclear and clean power firms, critical supply-chain providers, and strategic investors supporting commercialization of fusion technology. Constituents must demonstrate significant thematic exposure and meet strict revenue-based eligibility requirements. The ETF will generally replicate the index and may invest up to 15% of assets in private fusion-related companies through direct holdings or special-purpose vehicles. The filing reflects growing investor interest in next-generation energy technologies beyond traditional nuclear and renewable themes.
