Defiance quantum computing ETF surpasses $2 billion in assets

Defiance ETFs announced that its QTUM quantum computing exchange-traded fund has exceeded $2 billion in assets under management. The fund tracks the BlueStar Quantum Computing and Machine Learning Index and holds a 5-star Morningstar rating as of June 30, 2025.

QTUM launched in September 2018 and provides exposure to global companies involved in quantum computing technologies. The fund's holdings include D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), and Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI).

The quantum computing market is projected to reach between $90 billion and $170 billion by 2040, according to Boston Consulting Group data cited in the press release. The sector focuses on developing computational capabilities that exceed those of traditional computing systems.

Defiance ETFs, founded in 2018, specializes in thematic, leveraged, and income-focused exchange-traded funds. The company positions itself as a provider of investment vehicles targeting specific technology sectors and emerging market themes.

The fund's milestone reflects increased investor interest in quantum computing technologies, which remain in early development stages. QTUM offers diversified exposure to companies working on quantum innovation rather than requiring investors to select individual stocks in the sector.
