AMDL provides 2x leveraged exposure to the daily price movement for shares of Advanced Micro Devices stock with 60% weekly gains.

2. OKLL – Defiance Daily Target 2x Long OKLO ETF

OKLL seeks to deliver 2x leveraged exposure to the daily share price movement of Oklo Inc. Class A (NYSE: OKLO) ranked second on the list with over 31% weekly gains. Oklo’s stock has experienced a significant uptrend last week, attributed to growing demand for AI-related power and a newly secured U.S. Air Force contract.

3. CARD – MAX Auto Industry -3x Inverse Leveraged ETN

CARD, an exchange-traded note that tracks -3x of the daily price movements of an index consisting of US-listed auto companies, was one of the contenders on the list with ~28.5% weekly returns. The U.S. auto industry experienced a significant lift last week, largely attributable to a spike in electric vehicle sales as the expiration of a federal tax credit prompted a wave of consumer purchases.

4. UVIX – 2x Long VIX Futures ETF

UVIX, which offers daily 2x leveraged exposure to short-term VIX futures featured on the list of leveraged ETFs.

5. YANG – Direxion Daily FTSE China Bear 3X Shares

YANG offers 3x daily short leverage to the FTSE China 50 Index and is featured on the list of levered/ inverse ETFs returning over 24% last week. Mainland Chinese stock markets fell after renewed US tariff threats rattled the Chinese markets.

6. ETHD – ProShares UltraShort Ether ETF

ETHD, which tracks -2x the daily price movements of an index that measures the price of Ethereum ETF was another contender on the ETFs’ list with 24% weekly gains. Escalating U.S.-China trade tensions and heavy liquidations triggered a crypto market crash, sending Bitcoin, Ethereum, and some altcoins down.

7. UVXY – ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF

UVXY, which offers leveraged exposure to an index comprised of short-term VIX futures contracts, was another volatility-focused fund on the top-performing levered ETFs last week as volatility increased.

10. DRIP – Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bear 2X Shares

DRIP, which provides 2x inverse daily exposure to an index of the largest oil and gas exploration and production companies in the U.S., also made it to the list.
