That is exactly the kind of tape that turns the Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares ETF into either a jackpot or a trap, depending on which day you bought. The Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares (NASDAQ:TSLL) is a single-stock leveraged fund that seeks to deliver twice the daily return of Tesla common stock. It has quietly become one of the largest single-stock leveraged ETFs in the country, with roughly $5.03 billion in net assets as of the fund’s latest April 30, 2026 NPORT filing.
Leveraged single-stock funds barely existed four years ago; today they are one of the fastest-growing corners of the ETF market. How the Amplification Actually Works Look inside the fund and you will find only a fraction of that $5 billion actually held in Tesla stock. TSLL’s most recent filing shows just 1,679,200 shares of Tesla, worth $640.8 million, or only 12.74% of net assets. _________________________________ What’s Your Number…? __________________________________________ The rest of the exposure is engineered.
