On Tuesday, Defiance ETFs introduced (NASDAQ:NVOX), the first single-stock leveraged ETF focused on Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:NVO).
The ETF offers retail investors double the daily long exposure to Novo Nordisk's stock price changes without requiring a margin account, presenting an innovative trading option.
However, NVOX carries heightened risk due to its single-stock nature and does not invest directly in Novo Nordisk shares.

Sylvia Jablonski, CEO of Defiance ETFs, emphasized the strategic importance of NVOX, highlighting Novo Nordisk's central role in the booming weight loss market.
The company produces the popular drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, which have positioned it as a key player in an industry with significant growth potential.
Novo Nordisk reported that in the third quarter of 2024, Wegovy sales reached 17.30 billion Danish kroner, up 81%, and Ozempic sales increased 26% at constant currency to 29.80 billion Danish kroner.
Jablonski described NVOX as a tool for investors looking to capitalize on this multi-trillion-dollar opportunity.
