ETFs related to Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:RGTI), IonQ Inc. (NYSE:IONQ), and AST SpaceMobile Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) are quietly attracting investor interest as investors turn away from established behemoths and wager on the technologies that are likely to shape the next decade.Funds like Direxion Daily Tesla Bull 2X ETF (NASDAQ:TSLL) and T-Rex 2X Long Nvidia Daily Target ETF (BATS:NVDX) give traders leveraged ways to access the biggest fish, while funds like Daily Target 2X Short Rigetti Computing ETF (NASDAQ:RGTZ), a 2X inverse play on Rigetti, and Defiance Daily Target 2X Long IONQ ETF (NASDAQ:IONX), give traders options to bet on (or against) niche quantum names.<h2>A Frontier Mindset Takes Hold</h2>Of the 272 single-stock ETFs currently listed in the U.S., about a quarter have more than $100 million under management, an Etf.com report noted. These have developed into a laboratory for speculative fervor: a venue where the public can demonstrate conviction in niche innovations without venturing into direct stock trading.It’s a fine line between innovation and speculation. The same characteristics that render single-stock ETFs interesting, such as leverage, focused exposure, and liquidity, also amplify losses when themes go wrong. That hasn’t dampened new launches, though.Issuers are sprinting to launch products tied to high-conviction growth narratives, from quantum processors to space-based connectivity. The outcome is an ETF universe that grows more similar to the innovation economy itself: velocity-driven, experimental, and unapologetically brash.With $43 billion in assets and an increasing variety across industries, single-stock ETFs are no longer a playground for tactical traders. They’re becoming a window into the way investors — and issuers — think about the future of innovation.<ul> <li>IBIT Ignites ETF Mania: How BlackRock Fund Turned Bitcoin Into $24B Investor Magnet</li> </ul>Photo: bigjom jom via Shutterstock</div></div></div>
