Defiance ETFs has expanded its lineup of thematic products with the launch of two new funds aimed at capitalizing on the artificial intelligence boom while reducing exposure to areas the firm believes could face disruption from the technology. The new offerings — the Defiance US 100 Tech AI Moat ETF (NASDAQ:AIX) and the Defiance US 100 Tech Ex Software ETF (BATS:XIGV) — both draw from the Nasdaq-100 universe but take distinct approaches to identifying potential AI beneficiaries.

MIAMI, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Defiance ETFs, a leader in thematic and leveraged exchange-traded funds, today announced the launch of the Defiance US 100 Tech Ex Software ETF (Cboe: XIGV) , the first U.S. ETF designed to target the Nasdaq-100 while systematically screening out the software industry. The Fund seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx US 100 Tech Focused Ex Software Technology Index, an index designed to provide exposure to many of the largest U.S.-listed, technology-oriented companies while screening out companies whose core business is software.
