Tradr ETFs last week launched three new leveraged single-stock ETFs focused on semiconductor companies that are increasingly viewed as critical beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence infrastructure boom. The new funds — linked to Microchip Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MCHP), NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:NXPI), and ON Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:ON)— seek to deliver 200% of the daily performance of their respective underlying stocks.
The launch comes as investor interest in semiconductor-related ETFs remains elevated following a strong May 2026 earnings season for chipmakers and AI infrastructure suppliers. While much of the market’s attention has centered on AI leaders such as Nvidia and hyperscaler spending, investors have increasingly broadened their focus to companies supplying automotive chips, industrial semiconductors, power management solutions, and edge-computing technologies.
Tradr says the three companies represent essential “picks-and-shovels” beneficiaries of the ongoing U.S. AI infrastructure buildout.
Key Features of the New ETFs
–Tradr 2X Long MCHP Daily ETF (BATS:MCHU)
- Provides 2x leveraged exposure to Microchip Technology
- First-to-market leveraged ETF tracking MCHP
–Tradr 2X Long NXPI Daily ETF (BATS:NXPX)
- Provides 2x leveraged exposure to NXP Semiconductors
- First leveraged ETF focused on NXPI
Tradr 2X Long ON Daily ETF (BATS:ONX)

- All three funds seek to deliver 200% of the daily performance of their underlying stocks.
- Each ETF carries an expense ratio of 1.30%.
Tradr’s leveraged ETF lineup now includes 63 ETFs with more than $7 billion in assets under management.
The firm’s semiconductor-focused roster already includes leveraged funds tied to Nvidia, Navitas Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:NVTS), and Astera Labs, Inc (NASDAQ:ALAB).
Matt Markiewicz, head of Product and Capital Markets at Tradr ETFs, said Microchip, NXP, and ON Semiconductor have recently attracted attention as key suppliers supporting America’s AI infrastructure expansion despite their decades-long operating histories.
Why These Leveraged Chip ETFs Are Timely
The launch arrives as semiconductor investing themes continue to broaden beyond AI accelerators. Recent industry developments have highlighted rising demand for power semiconductors, automotive chips, industrial automation components, and edge-computing technologies—all areas where Microchip, NXP, and ON Semiconductor maintain significant market positions.
With hyperscalers continuing to invest heavily in AI data centers and U.S. manufacturing initiatives supporting domestic semiconductor production, investors are increasingly looking beyond mega-cap chip stocks for exposure to the next layer of AI infrastructure beneficiaries.
These leveraged ETFs offer traders a targeted way to express short-term bullish views on that expanding semiconductor ecosystem.
