Introduction to the Strategy

The Tradr 2X Short IREN Daily ETF (IREZ) is a leveraged inverse exchange-traded fund designed to deliver approximately two times the inverse (-200%) of the daily performance of IREN Limited (NASDAQ: IREN), before fees and expenses. The fund is therefore structured for investors seeking amplified downside exposure to IREN over a single trading day, rather than conventional long-term exposure. IREZ began trading on January 21, 2026, is listed on Cboe, and carries a 1.49% management expense ratio.

IREZ can become particularly relevant when investors anticipate a near-term correction in IREN following sharp rallies, deteriorating sentiment, weaker-than-expected operating developments, financing concerns or broader weakness across high-beta AI infrastructure and data-center equities. Because IREN is exposed to both Bitcoin-related economics and the rapidly developing AI data-center opportunity, its share price can experience substantial directional moves, creating the potential for significant short-term gains or losses in an inverse leveraged vehicle such as IREZ.
