BlockBeats News, June 10th. According to data from the US financial blog portal website ZeroHedge, the 3x Inverse Semiconductor ETF SOXS traded over 1.3 billion shares on June 9, 2026, making it the third-highest single-day trading volume for a US-listed ETF in the past 20 years.

Analysis indicates that this signals a market shift towards options and leveraged ETFs dominating trading, with traditional stock trading relatively subdued. The nominal trading volume of leveraged/inverse ETFs has surged in recent years to nearly $90 billion. This trend shows that investors prefer high-leverage derivative products, which may exacerbate short-term volatility in sectors such as semiconductors and alter the overall price discovery mechanism.
