With SPCM and SPCG, traders can access leveraged exposure to the stock from either direction as the market begins to establish its view on the newly public company.For detailed information on Tradr ETFs and the significant risks involved with leveraged ETFs, please visit <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4708956-1&amp;h=3381676769&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tradretfs.com%2F&amp;a=www.tradretfs.com">www.tradretfs.com</a>.About Tradr ETFs&nbsp; <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4708956-1&amp;h=2069626480&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tradretfs.com%2F&amp;a=Tradr+ETFs">Tradr ETFs</a> are designed for sophisticated investors and professional traders who are looking to express high conviction investment views. The strategies include leveraged and inverse ETFs that seek short or long exposure to actively traded stocks and ETFs.IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATIONTradr ETFs are for sophisticated investors and professional traders with high conviction views and are very different from most other ETFs. The Funds are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles and pursue leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Funds magnify the performance of their underlying security. The volatility of the underlying security may affect a Fund's return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying security.Investors in the fund should: (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage; (b) understand the consequences of seeking inverse and leveraged investment results; (c) for short ETFs, understand the risk of shorting; (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. Fund performance will likely be significantly different than the benchmark over periods longer than the specified reset period and the performance may trend in the opposite direction than its benchmark over periods other than that period.Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor's investment, may increase the volatility of the Funds, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Funds and their reference security. The Funds seek leveraged investment results for a specific period (daily, monthly or quarterly). The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intra-period will depend upon the movement of the reference security from the end of the prior period until the time of investment by the investor.The Fund will not attempt to position its portfolio to ensure it does not gain or lose more than a maximum percentage of its net asset value on a given trading day. As a consequence, investors in a Fund that seeks two times daily performance would lose all of their money if the Fund's underlying security moves more than 50% in a direction adverse to the Fund on a given trading day.ETFs involve risk including possible loss of the full principal value. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Principal risks and other important risks may be found in the prospectus. Past performance does not guarantee future results.ETF shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the ETF. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for ETF shares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. Buying or selling ETF shares on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions and frequent trading may incur brokerage costs that detract significantly from investment returns.Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds. This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the Prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4708956-1&amp;h=3381676769&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tradretfs.com%2F&amp;a=www.tradretfs.com">www.tradretfs.com</a>.

Tradr ETFs Set for Liftoff Alongside SpaceX IPO

Tradr ETFs launches two leveraged SpaceX ETFs (SPCM, SPCG) offering 2x long and short daily exposure ahead of SPCX's June 15 debut

<div>Paris, France – June 11, 2026 – Pasqal, one of the global leaders in neutral-atom quantum computing, today announced the inauguration of Europe’s third Pasqal quantum computer hosted at CINECA, Italy’s largest public supercomputing operator and a member of the Italian Research Center on High Performance Computing (ICSC), Big Data, and Quantum Computing, in Bologna, Italy. The system was unveiled at the DAMA Technopole in Emilia-Romagna during a ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the launch of new high-performance computing (HPC) and quantum computing systems procured by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (JU) and co-financed together with the Italy’s Ministry of University and Research through ICSC, including the system delivered by Pasqal. This milestone marks a major step forward in the deployment of Europe’s hybrid HPC and quantum computing infrastructure.The system is Italy’s first neutral-atom quantum computer. Named SOL, it is a Pasqal Orion quantum processing unity (QPU) featuring 140 qubits. It has been engineered for tight integration with the Leonardo pre-exascale EuroHPC supercomputer — one of the world’s most powerful HPC platforms, ranked 10th on the <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://top500.org/">Top500 list</a>— representing an important step forward in quantum accelerated high-performance computing.At CINECA, Pasqal deploys its HPC–quantum integration stack exposing the QPU as a native resource within the supercomputing environment, enabling hybrid workflows that combine quantum and classical computing resources through standard HPC scheduling and operational mechanisms. The deployment builds on the open-source Quantum Resource Management Interface (QRMI) and supports integration with leading hybrid quantum-classical software ecosystems including NVIDIA CUDA-Q and Qiskit, the open-source software stack for quantum computing and algorithm research developed by IBM.The inauguration builds on Pasqal’s growing footprint across Europe, following the successful deployment of quantum processors in France (CEA-TGCC) and Germany (FZJ-JSC) under the EuroHPC JU’s pilot project HPCQS. Together, these systems form the backbone for Europe’s federated hybrid HPC–quantum infrastructure, enabling researchers and enterprises to tackle complex problems in areas such as materials science, optimization, and machine learning.<blockquote>“The inauguration of this quantum computer marks a major milestone for CINECA and ICSC and for Italy’s role in Europe’s advanced computing ecosystem,” said Sara Marzella, Responsible for Quantum Computing at CINECA. “By integrating Pasqal’s neutral-atom technology with the Leonardo supercomputer, we are enabling a new class of hybrid applications that will empower researchers and industry leaders to address some of the most complex scientific and industrial challenges.”</blockquote><blockquote>“This inauguration is further proof of Pasqal’s ability to execute at scale and deliver quantum systems where they matter most,” said Wasiq Bokhari, CEO of Pasqal. “Across Europe and beyond, we are turning quantum computing from a research promise into deployed, operational infrastructure that addresses real-world scientific and industrial challenges.”</blockquote><blockquote>“Today’s inauguration shows how Europe continues to turn ambition into capability. With SOL, the new EuroHPC quantum computer and LISA, the AI-upgrade to the world-class Leonardo supercomputer, we are further strengthening our sovereign supercomputing ecosystem and giving European users new tools to innovate across AI, HPC and quantum technologies. This milestone expands opportunities for research, industry and the public sector, while reinforcing Europe’s technological leadership in strategic supercomputing domains.” said Anders Jensen, Executive Director, EuroHPC JU.</blockquote>The quantum computer was co-funded by the EuroHPC JU and the Italian Ministry of University and Research through the ICSC. It will be operated by CINECA and integrated into a hybrid architecture that allows users to seamlessly offload specialized workloads to the QPU, while relying on Leonardo for classical processing and large-scale data handling.The inauguration underscores Europe’s shift towards quantum industrialization at scale as envisioned in the 2025 European Quantum Strategy. It also highlights and reinforces Pasqal’s role as a leading provider in rolling out scalable, replicable, and energy-efficient neutral-atom quantum systems. SOL is Pasqal’s third EuroHPC-linked neutral-atom system in Europe after Jade and Ruby in Germany and France, which were also integrated to the European HPC-Quantum Computing hybrid infrastructure deployed under Euro-HPC JU’s leadership.</div><div><div>ContactsInvestors<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:investor@pasql.cm">investors@pasqal.com</a>&nbsp;Media<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:pr@pasqal.com">pr@pasqal.com</a></div>About PasqalPasqal is a global leader in delivering practical quantum computing at scale utilizing neutral atom technology and dedicated software for industry, science, and governments.

VEON Closes USD 1.4 Billion Bond Offering, Refinancing 2027 Notes Ahead of Schedule

VEON closes a $1.4B notes offering to refinance its 2027 debt ahead of schedule.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc.
