The Funds seek daily inverse investment results and is intended to be used as a short-term trading vehicle. Each Fund attempts to provide daily investment results that correspond to the inverse (or opposite) of the performance of its underlying index.

The Funds are not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. Each Fund is very different from most mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Investors should note that:

(1)

Each Fund pursues a daily investment objective that is inverse to the performance of its underlying index, a result opposite of most mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

(2)

Each Fund seeks daily inverse investment results that are subject to compounding and market volatility risk.

(3)

The pursuit of daily investment objectives means that the return of a Fund for a period longer than a full trading day will be the product of a series of daily returns, with daily repositioned exposure, for each trading day during the relevant period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the volatility of the underlying index may affect a Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying index. Further, the return for investors that invest for periods less than a full trading day will not be the product of the return of a Fund’s stated daily inverse investment objective and the performance of the underlying index for the full trading day. During periods of high volatility, a Fund may not perform as expected and the Fund may have losses when an investor may have expected gains if a Fund is held for a period that is different than one trading day.

(a)

understand the consequences of seeking daily inverse investment results;

(b)

understand the risk of shorting; and

(c)

intend to actively monitor and manage their investments.

Investors who do not understand the Funds, or do not intend to actively manage their funds and monitor their investments, should not buy the Funds.

There is no assurance that any Fund will achieve its daily inverse investment objective and an investment in a Fund could lose money. No single Fund is a complete investment program.

These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), nor have the SEC or CFTC passed upon the adequacy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X ETF

Important Information Regarding the Fund

The Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X ETF (“Fund”) (formerly the Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X Shares) seeks daily inverse investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. The pursuit of daily inverse investment goals means that the return of the Fund for a period longer than a full trading day may have no resemblance to -100% of the return of the S&P 500® Index (the "Index"). This means that the return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result of each single day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely differ from -100% of the return of the Index for that period. Longer holding periods and higher volatility of the Index increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the Index. Further, the return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading day should not be expected to be -100% of the performance of the Index for the period.

The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily inverse (-1X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of shorting and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Index’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the Index’s performance decreases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day.

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 100% of the inverse (or opposite) of the daily performance of the Index. The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different than a trading day.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund (“Shares”). You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Management Fees	0.35%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees	0.00%
Other Expenses of the Fund(1)	0.16%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses(2)	0.03%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.54%
Expense Cap/Reimbursement(3)	-0.06%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Cap/Reimbursement	0.48%

(1)

Other Expenses have been restated to reflect expenses expected to be incurred during the current fiscal year.

(2)

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the Fund do not correlate to the "Ratios to Average Net Assets: Net Expenses" provided in the "Financial Highlights" section of the statutory prospectus, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include acquired fund fees and expenses.

(3)

Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (“Rafferty” or the “Adviser”) has entered into an Operating Expense Limitation Agreement with the Fund. Under the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement, Rafferty has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for Other Expenses through September 1, 2027, to the extent that the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 0.45% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (excluding, as applicable, among other expenses, taxes, swap financing and related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses).

Any expense waiver or reimbursement is subject to recoupment by the Adviser within the three years after the expense was waived/reimbursed only if Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses fall below the lesser of this percentage limitation and any percentage limitation in place at the time the expense was waived/reimbursed. This agreement may be terminated or revised at any time with the consent of the Board of Trustees.

Example - This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
$49	$167	$296	$671

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. However, this portfolio turnover rate

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivative transactions. If the Fund's extensive use of derivatives was reflected, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Index is designed to be comprised of stocks that are the 500 leading, large-cap U.S.-listed issuers. S&P Dow Jones Indices selects constituents on the basis of market capitalization, financial viability of the company, sector representation, public float, liquidity and price of a company’s shares outstanding. The Index is a float-adjusted and market capitalization-weighted index.

As of December 31, 2025, the Index consisted of 503 constituents, which were concentrated in the information technology sector. The Index is rebalanced quarterly.

The components of the Index and the percentages represented by various sectors in the Index may change over time. The Fund will concentrate its investment in a particular industry or group of industries (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide inverse exposure to a particular industry or group of industries) to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated.

The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus borrowing for investment purposes) in financial instruments, including swap agreements, futures contracts, or short positions, that, in combination, provide 1X daily inverse (opposite) or short exposure to the Index or to exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that track the Index, consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.

The Fund may also gain inverse exposure by investing in a combination of financial instruments, such as swap agreements or futures agreements that provide short exposure to the Index, to a representative sample of the securities in the Index that has aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index or to an ETF that tracks the same Index or a substantially similar index, or the Fund may short securities of the Index, or short an ETF that tracks the same Index or a substantially similar index. The Fund invests in derivatives as a substitute for directly shorting securities in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index or its components. When the Fund shorts securities, including the securities of another investment company, it borrows shares of that security or investment company, which it then sells. The Fund closes out a short sale by purchasing the security that it has sold short and returning that security to the entity that lent the security. In addition, on a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality credit ratings (i.e. investment grade or higher), and/or short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements.

financial instruments not included in the Index. In all cases, the investments would be designed to help the Fund track the Index as it seeks to achieve its inverse leveraged investment objective.

The Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of the securities in the Index. At the close of the markets each trading day, Rafferty rebalances the Fund’s portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Fund’s inverse investment objective. For example, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced and that a shareholder should lose money, a result that is the opposite of traditional index tracking ETFs. This re-positioning strategy may result in high portfolio turnover. The terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next trading day.

The Fund is “non-diversified,” meaning that a relatively high percentage of its assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers of securities. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.

Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from -100% of the return of the Index over the same period. The Fund will lose money if the Index performance is flat over time, and as a result of daily rebalancing, the Index’s volatility and the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money over time while the Index’s performance decreases over a period longer than a single day.

Principal Investment Risks

An investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not achieve its inverse investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs.It is important that investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them before making an investment in the Fund. The realization of certain of the risks described below may result in adverse market movements that may actually benefit the Fund due to its inverse investment objective.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

over time, notwithstanding any separate effects of compounding and the Fund’s daily repositioning of inverse exposure. Additionally, if the level of the Index approaches a 100% increase at any point in the day, an investor could lose their entire investment. Accordingly, short positions and exposure may be riskier and more speculative than traditional investments. The costs of obtaining short exposure or maintaining short positions will lower the Fund’s returns.

To the extent that the Fund obtains short exposure from derivatives, the Fund may be exposed to heightened volatility, reduced correlation to the Index or limited liquidity related to the reference asset of the underlying short position, which will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or adversely impact its performance. If the Fund were to experience this volatility or decreased liquidity, the Fund may be required to obtain short exposure through alternative investment strategies that may have less correlation to the Index, less liquidity or are more costly to implement. If the reference asset underlying the short position is thinly traded or has a limited market, there may be a lack of available securities or counterparties for the Fund to enter into a short position or obtain short exposure from a derivative instrument.

Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk —

The Fund’s performance for periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns compounded over the period, which is likely to differ from -100% of the Index’s performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding has a significant impact on funds that are inverse and that rebalance daily. The impact of compounding becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase and will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of the Index during the shareholder’s holding period.

Fund performance for periods greater than one single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities of the Index. The chart below provides examples of how Index volatility and its return could affect the Fund’s performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Actual Fund returns are expected to vary from these estimates. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in the Index; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from -100% of the performance of the Index.

chance of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if the Index’s return is flat. For instance, if the Index’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to lose 63.23% of its value, even if the cumulative Index return for the year was 0%. Areas shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than -100% of the performance of the Index and those shaded green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than -100% of the performance of the Index. The table below is not a representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in “Daily Inverse Index Correlation Risk” below. The volatility of exchange traded securities or instruments that reflect the value of the Index may differ from the volatility of the Index.

One Year Index	-100% One Year Index	Volatility Rate

The Index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five year period ended December 31, 2025 was 16.96%. The Index’s highest volatility rate for any one calendar year during the five year period was 24.19% and volatility for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher. The Index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 14.42%. Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.

For information regarding the effects of volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus, and "Leverage - Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of the Funds" in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information under “Investment Policies and Techniques.”

Derivatives Risk — Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or smaller gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.

The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

in securities or other investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track the performance of its reference asset for various reasons, including due to fees and other costs associated with it.

Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning. A swap on an ETF tracking the Index may not closely track the performance of the Index due to costs associated with trading ETFs, such as an ETF’s premium or discount which is the difference between its market price and its net asset value. If the Index has a dramatic intraday increase or decrease that causes a material change in the Fund’s performance and/or net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close the swap agreement with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may not be able to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective. This may occur even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday movement by the end of the day.

Upon entering into certain derivatives contracts, such as swap agreements, and to maintain open positions in such agreements, the Fund may be required to post collateral, the amount of which may vary. As such, the Fund may maintain cash balances, which may be significant, with service providers such as the Fund’s custodian or its affiliates in segregated accounts. Maintaining larger cash and cash equivalent positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks, such as increased credit risk with respect to the custodian bank holding the assets.

Counterparty Risk — If a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations or fails to return holdings that are subject to the agreement with the counterparty, the Fund will lose money and/or not be able to meet its daily inverse investment objective.

Because the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, this increases the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its inverse investment objective or rebalance properly, which may result in significant losses to the Fund. The risk that no suitable counterparties will enter into or continue to provide swap exposure to the Fund may be heightened when there is significant volatility in the overall market or the reference asset.

to the Index that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated investment objective. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of Shares prior to the close of trading on the NYSE Arca or other national securities listing exchanges where Shares are listed and incur significant losses.

Cash Transaction Risk— Unlike most ETFs, the Fund currently intends to effect creations and redemptions principally for cash, rather than principally for in-kind securities, because of the nature of the financial instruments held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund is not expected to be tax efficient and will incur brokerage and financing costs related to buying and selling securities and/or obtaining short derivative exposure to achieve its investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than other funds that primarily effect creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset value.

Intra-Day Investment Risk— The intra-day performance of Fund shares traded in the secondary market will be different from the performance of the Fund when measured from the close of the market on a given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day. An investor that purchases shares intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the Fund’s stated investment objective.

If there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities of the Index experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or may be unable to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, resulting in significant losses or reduced gains. In response to significant intraday market volatility, among other actions, the Adviser may determine to trade a portion or all of the rebalance trade for the Fund prior to market close, which may result in the Fund not achieving its investment objective. Additionally, the Fund’s Shares traded on the secondary market may experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.

Daily Inverse Index Correlation Risk— A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index and therefore achieve its daily inverse investment objective. The Fund’s exposure to the Index is impacted by the Index’s movement. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to the Index at the end of each day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index increases on days when the Index is volatile near the close of the trading day.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

objective. The Fund may be required to trade more frequently or may refrain from taking certain positions to ensure compliance with regulatory restrictions or to ensure qualification as a registered investment company or to improve tax efficiency, or for other reasons, each of which may negatively impact the Fund’s inverse correlation to the Index or increase its required distributions.

The derivatives or investments the Fund utilizes to obtain inverse exposure may not provide the expected correlation to the Index resulting in the Fund not performing as expected. Additionally, the Fund may not have investment exposure to all of the securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to the securities may be different from that of the Index. The Fund may also invest in or have exposure to securities that are not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index and impacting the Fund’s correlation to the Index. Activities surrounding periodic Index reconstitutions and other Index rebalancing events may also hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily inverse investment objective.

Passive Investment and Index Performance Risk —

A third party (the “Index Provider”), who is unaffiliated with the Fund or the Fund's Adviser, maintains and exercises complete control over the Index. The Index Provider may delay or add a rebalance date, which may adversely impact the performance of the Fund and its correlation to the Index. There is no guarantee that the methodology used by the Index Provider to identify constituents for the Index will achieve its intended result or positive performance. The Index relies on various sources of information to assess the potential constituents of the Index, including information that may be based on assumptions or estimates. There is no assurance that the sources of information are reliable, and the Adviser does not assess the due diligence conducted by the Index Provider with respect to the data it uses or the Index construction and computation processes. Industry concentrations in the Index will fluctuate with changes in constituents’ market values such that the Index may become more, or less, concentrated over time. There can be no guarantee that the Index’s methodology or calculation will be free from error or that an error will be identified and/or corrected, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund.

The Fund generally will not change its investment exposures, including by buying or selling securities or instruments, in response to market conditions. For example, the Fund generally will not sell an Index constituent due to a decline in its performance or based on changes to the prospects of an Index constituent, unless that constituent is removed from the Index with which the Fund seeks correlated performance.

creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, geopolitical events, tariffs, trade wars, natural disasters, and public health risks. Interest rates and inflation rates may change frequently and drastically due to various factors and the Fund’s investments may be adversely impacted.

The economic, fiscal, monetary and foreign policies of the U.S. government, including the imposition of tariffs, changes to its federal agencies and changes to regulatory policies, will impact the U.S. economy and could lead to increased market volatility and may adversely impact the overall market and individual securities.

Large-Capitalization Company Risk — Large-capitalization companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’ returns.

Mid-Capitalization Company Risk - Mid-capitalization companies often have narrower markets for their goods and/or services, more limited product lines, services, markets, managerial and financial resources, less stable earnings, or are dependent on a small management group. In addition, because these stocks are not well known to the investing public, do not have significant institutional ownership and are followed by relatively few security analysts, there will normally be less publicly available information concerning these securities compared to what is available for the securities of larger companies. As a result, the price of mid-capitalization companies can be more volatile and they may be less liquid than large-capitalization companies, which could increase the volatility of the Fund’s portfolio.

Information Technology Sector Risk — The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from competitors with lower production costs. In addition, many information technology companies have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The prices of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the information technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the application software industry, in particular, may also be negatively affected by the risk that subscription renewal rates for their products and services decline or fluctuate, leading to declining revenues. Companies in the systems software industry may be adversely

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

affected by, among other things, actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in their products and services, which may result in individual or class action lawsuits, state or federal enforcement actions and other remediation costs. Companies in the computer software industry may also be affected by the availability and price of computer software technology components.

Liquidity Risk — Holdings of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. There is no assurance that a security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving its investment objective. In certain market conditions the Fund may be one of many market participants that is attempting to transact in the securities of the Index. Under such circumstances, the market for securities of the Index may lack sufficient liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty transacting in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and price volatility in the securities of the Index.

To the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares could widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its exposure properly which may result in significantly more or less exposure and losses to the Fund. In such an instance, the Fund may increase its transaction fee, utilize derivatives instruments that are less correlated to the Index, change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, reduce its exposure for a period of time or close.

Early Close/Trading Halt Risk — An exchange or market may close early and unexpectedly or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. Under such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to execute intended portfolio transactions, rebalance its portfolio, or accurately price its investments, and may disrupt the Fund’s creation/redemption process which means the Fund may be unable to achieve its investment objective and it may incur substantial losses or reduced gains. Additionally, an exchange or market may also halt the trading of the Fund’s shares, limiting an investor’s ability to buy or sell Fund shares on that exchange or market.

Equity Securities Risk — Publicly issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities in which the Fund invests,

and/or has exposure to, will cause the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate.

Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk—

The Fund may invest in, or obtain exposure to, another investment company, including an ETF or a money market fund (each, an “underlying fund”), to pursue its investment objective or manage cash. When investing in an underlying fund, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that underlying fund and as a result, Fund shareholders indirectly bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the underlying fund, in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund’s own operations. If the underlying fund fails to achieve its investment objective the Fund’s performance will likely be adversely affected.

In addition, to the extent that the Fund invests in, or has exposure to, an underlying fund that is an ETF, it will be exposed to all of the risks associated with the ETF structure. Shares of ETFs may trade at a discount or a premium to an ETF’s net asset value which may result in an ETF’s market price being more or less than the value of the index that the ETF tracks especially during periods of market volatility or disruption. There may also be additional trading costs due to an ETF’s bid-ask spread, and/or the underlying fund may suspend purchases or redemption of its shares due to market conditions that make it impracticable to conduct such transactions, any of which may adversely affect the Fund. If an underlying fund’s shares are suspended from trading on an exchange, the Fund may not be able to obtain the required exposure to meet its investment objective.

Money Market Instrument Risk — The Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository account is held. Money market instruments may lose money.

Tax Risk — In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were not able to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain distributions.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

Please see the section entitled “Dividends, Other Distributions and Taxes” in the Statement of Additional Information for more information.

Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer, the credit of a single counterparty, and/or a single economic, political or regulatory event.

Special Risks of Exchange-Traded Funds

Authorized Participants Concentration Risk. The Fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. To the extent that those Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, Shares may trade at larger bid-ask spreads and/or premiums or discounts to net asset value. Authorized Participant concentration risk may be heightened for a fund that invests in non-U.S. securities or other securities or instruments that have lower trading volumes.

Absence of Active Market Risk. Although Shares are listed for trading on a stock exchange, there is no assurance that an active trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In the absence of an active trading market for Shares, they will likely trade with a wider bid/ask spread and at a greater premium or discount to net asset value.

Market Price Variance Risk. Fund Shares can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices, which may be higher or lower than the net asset value of the Fund. When Shares trade at a price greater than net asset value, they are said to trade at a “premium.” When they trade at a price less than net asset value, they are said to trade at a “discount.” The market price of Shares fluctuates based on changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, the supply and demand for Shares and other market factors. The market price of Shares may vary significantly from the Fund’s net asset value especially during times of market volatility or stress. Further, to the extent that exchange specialists, market makers, Authorized Participants, or other market participants are unavailable or unable to trade the Fund’s Shares and/or create or redeem Creation Units premiums or discounts may increase.

Trading Cost Risk. When buying or selling Shares in the secondary market, a buyer may incur brokerage commission or other charges. In addition, a buyer may incur the cost of the “spread” also known as the bid-ask spread, which is the difference between what investors are willing to pay for Fund shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which they are willing to sell Fund shares (the “ask” price). The bid-ask spread varies over time based on, among other things, trading volume, market liquidity and market volatility. Because of the costs inherent in buying or selling Fund shares, frequent trading may detract significantly from investment results.

Exchange Trading Risk. Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca. They also may be listed or traded on other U.S.

and non-U.S. stock exchanges and may trade on electronic communication networks. Trading in Shares on their listing exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable, including if they fail to meet the listing requirements of the exchange. Under certain circumstances, Shares may even be delisted. Trading halts of Shares should be expected to disrupt the Fund’s creation/redemption process and may temporarily prevent investors from buying and selling Shares. Like other listed securities, Shares of the Fund may be sold short, and short positions in Shares may place downward pressure on their market price.

Fund Performance

The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by demonstrating how its returns have varied from calendar year to calendar year. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from calendar year to calendar year. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns over various time periods compare with the returns of at least one broad-based market index for the same periods. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

In addition, the “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than other returns for the same period because the calculation recognized a capital loss upon the redemption of Fund shares and assumes the investor received the benefit of a tax deduction.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for long periods of time.

Management

Investment Adviser. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser.

Portfolio Managers. The following members of Rafferty’s investment team are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund:

Tony Ng	Since Inception in June 2016	Portfolio Manager

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

The Fund’s individual shares may only be purchased or sold in the secondary market through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediaries at market price rather than at net asset value. The market price of Shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings and supply and demand for the Shares, which may result in shareholders purchasing or selling the Shares on the secondary market at a market price that is greater than net asset value (a premium) or less than net asset value (a discount). Additionally, a shareholder may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay for the Fund’s Shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for the Fund’s Shares (ask) when buying or selling Shares on the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”) in addition to brokerage commissions. The bid-ask spread may vary over time for Shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information regarding the Fund Shares such as net asset value, market

price, premiums and discounts, bid-ask spreads, and related other information is available on the Fund’s website, www.direxion.com/etfs?producttab=performance.

The Fund’s shares are not individually redeemable by submitting Shares to the Fund. The Fund will issue and redeem Shares for cash only to Authorized Participants in large blocks, known as creation units, each of which is comprised of 50,000 Shares.

Tax Information

The Fund intends to make distributions that may be taxed as ordinary income or long-term capital gains. Those distributions will be subject to federal income tax and may also be subject to state and local taxes, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. Distributions or investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal. Distributions by the Fund may be significantly higher than those of most other ETFs.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank or financial adviser), the Fund and/or its Adviser may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Direxion Daily Magnificent 7 Bear 1X ETF

Important Information Regarding the Fund

The Direxion Daily Magnificent 7 Bear 1X ETF (“Fund”) (formerly the Direxion Daily Magnificent 7 Bear 1X Shares) seeks daily inverse investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. The pursuit of daily inverse investment goals means that the return of the Fund for a period longer than a full trading day may have no resemblance to -100% of the return of the Indxx Magnificent 7 Index (the "Index"). This means that the return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result of each single day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely differ from -100% of the return of the Index for that period. Longer holding periods and higher volatility of the Index increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the Index. Further, the return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading day should not be expected to be -100% of the performance of the Index for the period.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Index is designed to track the performance of seven of the leading NASDAQ listed companies, as identified by Indxx (the “Index Provider”). Equity securities and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) that have a free-float equivalent to at least 10% of total shares outstanding and a per share price less than $10,000 are eligible for inclusion in the Index. As of December 31, 2025, the Index Provider has determined the following securities will comprise the Index: Apple Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Alphabet, Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., NVIDIA Corporation, Tesla, Inc., and Meta Platforms, Inc.

The Index is equally weighted and reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

As of December 31, 2025, the Index consisted of seven securities, which were concentrated in the information technology, consumer discretionary and communication services sectors, which includes business operations in the field of artificial intelligence applications and big data.

days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times consistent with its stated inverse investment objective, but may not always have inverse exposure to all of the securities in the Index, or its weighting of inverse exposure to securities or industries may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may have inverse exposure to securities, ETFs or financial instruments not included in the Index. In all cases, the investments would be designed to help the Fund track the Index as it seeks to achieve its inverse leveraged investment objective.

Principal Investment Risks

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

Shorting or Inverse Risk – The Fund will lose money when the value of the Index rises because of the Fund’s inverse or short exposure – this result is the opposite from a traditional index fund. The Fund’s assets will increase in value when the Index’s daily return decreases. The Fund’s assets will decrease in value when the Index’s daily return increases. Because historically most assets have risen in value over the long term, short exposure or positions and therefore, the value of the Fund is expected to depreciate in value over time, notwithstanding any separate effects of compounding and the Fund’s daily repositioning of inverse exposure. Additionally, if the level of the Index approaches a 100% increase at any point in the day, an investor could lose their entire investment. Accordingly, short positions and exposure may be riskier and more speculative than traditional investments. The costs of obtaining short exposure or maintaining short positions will lower the Fund’s returns.

Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk —

Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from -100% of the performance of the Index.

As shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.04% if the Index provided no return over a one year period during which the Index experienced annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if the Index’s return is flat. For instance, if the Index’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to lose 63.23% of its value, even if the cumulative Index return for the year was 0%. Areas shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than -100% of the performance of the Index and those shaded green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than -100% of the performance of the Index. The table below is not a representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in “Daily Inverse Index Correlation Risk” below. The volatility of exchange traded securities or instruments that reflect the value of the Index may differ from the volatility of the Index.

One Year Index	-100% One Year Index	Volatility Rate
Return	Return	10%	25%	50%	75%	100%

60%	-60%	-37.72%	-41.51%	-51.96%	-65.19%	-78.12%

The Index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five year period ended December 31, 2025 was 29.78%. The Index’s highest volatility rate for any one calendar year during the five year period was 41.32% and volatility for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher. The Index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 28.61%. Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.

Derivatives Risk — Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or smaller gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.

The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track the performance of its reference asset for various reasons, including due to fees and other costs associated with it.

exposure to the Fund may be heightened when there is significant volatility in the overall market or the reference asset.

Rebalancing Risk — If for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment objective which may lead to greater losses or reduced gains. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated investment objective. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of Shares prior to the close of trading on the NYSE Arca or other national securities listing exchanges where Shares are listed and incur significant losses.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions, fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, investments in ETFs, directly or indirectly, the Fund’s valuation methodology differing from the Index’s valuation methodology, accounting standards and their application to income items, disruptions, illiquidity or high volatility in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by the Fund, and regulatory and tax considerations, among other factors, will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to meet its daily inverse investment objective. The Fund may be required to trade more frequently or may refrain from taking certain positions to ensure compliance with regulatory restrictions or to ensure qualification as a registered investment company or to improve tax efficiency, or for other reasons, each of which may negatively impact the Fund’s inverse correlation to the Index or increase its required distributions.

Passive Investment and Index Performance Risk —

from the Index with which the Fund seeks correlated performance.

Market Risk — The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, geopolitical events, tariffs, trade wars, natural disasters, and public health risks. Interest rates and inflation rates may change frequently and drastically due to various factors and the Fund’s investments may be adversely impacted.

Communication Services Sector Risk — The communication services sector may be dominated by a small number of companies which may lead to additional volatility in the sector. Communication services companies are particularly vulnerable to the potential obsolescence of products and services due to technological advances and the innovation of competitors. Communication services companies may also be affected by other competitive pressures, such as pricing

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

competition, as well as research and development costs, substantial capital requirements, and government regulation. Fluctuating domestic and international demand, shifting demographics, and often unpredictable changes in consumer demand can drastically affect a communication services company’s profitability. Compliance with governmental regulations, delays or failure to receive regulatory approvals, or the enactment of new regulatory requirements may negatively affect the business of telecommunication services companies. Certain companies in the communication services sector may be particular targets of network security breaches, hacking and potential theft of proprietary or consumer information, or disruptions in services, which would have a material adverse effect on their businesses.

Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk —Because companies in the consumer discretionary sector manufacture products and provide discretionary services directly to the consumer, the success of these companies is tied closely to the performance of the overall domestic and international economy, including the functioning of the global supply chain, interest rates, and inflation competition and consumer confidence. Success depends heavily on disposable household income and consumer spending, and may be strongly affected by social trends and marketing campaigns. Also, companies in the consumer discretionary sector may be subject to intense competition, which may have an adverse impact on a company’s profitability. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer discretionary products in the marketplace.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data Company Risk —

Companies engaged in artificial intelligence (“AI”) and big data typically face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. These companies are also heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. There can be no assurance these companies will be able to successfully protect their intellectual property to prevent the misappropriation of their technology, or that competitors will not develop technology that is substantially similar or superior to such companies’ technology. AI and big data companies typically engage in significant amounts of spending on research and development, as well as mergers and acquisitions, and there is no guarantee that the products or services produced by these companies will be successful. The products and services of AI and big data companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product or service introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. AI and big data companies are potential targets for cyberattacks, which can have a materially adverse impact on the performance of these companies. In addition, AI technology could face increasing regulatory scrutiny in the future, which may limit the development of this technology and impede the growth of companies that develop and/or utilize this technology. Similarly, the collection of data from consumers and other sources could face increased scrutiny as regulators consider how the data is collected, stored, safeguarded and used. AI and big data companies may face regulatory fines and penalties, including forced break-ups, that could hinder

the ability of the companies to operate on an ongoing basis. The customers and/or suppliers of AI and big data companies may be concentrated in a particular country, region or industry. Any adverse event affecting one of these countries, regions or industries could have a negative impact on AI and big data companies. Country, government, and/or region-specific regulations or restrictions could have an impact on AI and big data companies.

Interactive Media & Services Industry Risk — The interactive media and services industry includes companies producing and distributing digital content and generating revenue via advertising on social media, search engines and review portals. The prices of technology and media companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the overall market. These companies are subject to rapid changes in technology and consumer platform preference, including the increased use of mobile-based apps, competition for advertising revenue, changes in audience preferences, evolving industry standards and frequent new product productions. Regulatory changes regarding consumer and data protection, antitrust, taxation and payment laws may adversely impact these companies, especially if there are different regulatory requirements in different jurisdictions and countries. The collection of data from consumers and other sources could face increased scrutiny as regulators consider how the data is collected, stored, safeguarded and used. Additionally, these companies may face the increased risk of cyberattacks. These companies also face significant competition for qualified, technical personnel.

Automotive Companies Risk — The automotive industry can be highly cyclical, and companies in the industry may suffer periodic operating losses. Automotive companies can be significantly affected by labor relations and fluctuating component prices. Developments in automotive technologies (e.g., autonomous vehicle technologies) may require significant capital expenditures that may not generate profits for several years, if ever. Automotive companies may be significantly subject to government policies and regulations regarding imports and exports of automotive products. Governmental policies affecting the automotive industry, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies, and import and export restrictions on automotive products can influence industry profitability. In addition, such companies must comply with environmental laws and regulations, for which there may be severe consequences for non-compliance. While most of the major automotive manufacturers are large companies, certain others may be non-diversified in both product line and customer base and may be more vulnerable to certain events that may negatively impact the automotive industry.

Semiconductor Industry Risk– Semiconductor companies may face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, including from subsidized foreign competitors with lower production costs, and such competition may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Semiconductor companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Semiconductor companies’ supply chain and operations are dependent on the availability of materials that meet exacting standards and the use of third parties to provide components and services. Semiconductor

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

companies may rely on a limited number of suppliers, or upon suppliers in a single location, for certain materials, equipment or tools. Finding and qualifying alternate or additional suppliers can be a lengthy process that can cause production delays or impose unforeseen costs, and such alternatives may not be available at all. Production can be disrupted by the unavailability of resources, such as water, silicon, electricity, gases and other materials. Suppliers may also increase prices or encounter cybersecurity or other issues that can disrupt production or increase production costs. Semiconductor companies typically face high capital costs and such companies may need additional financing, which may be difficult to obtain. They also may be subject to risks relating to research and development costs and the availability and price of components. The products of semiconductor companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Capital equipment expenditures could be substantial, and equipment generally suffers from rapid obsolescence. Companies in the semiconductor industry are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights would adversely affect the profitability of these companies.

Retail Industry Risk - Retail and related industries can be significantly affected by the performance of the domestic and international economy, consumer confidence and spending, intense competition, changes in demographics, and changing consumer tastes and preferences. In addition, the retail industry is highly competitive and a company’s success can be tied to its ability to anticipate changing consumer tastes.

Software Industry Risk — Companies that develop and implement computer software can face risks associated with intense competition, especially in new product development, deployment and delivery, product obsolescence or saturation, cybersecurity risks as well as changes in regulation especially with respect to consumer or customer data, and risks associated with technology.

Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk—

the Fund’s own operations. If the underlying fund fails to achieve its investment objective the Fund’s performance will likely be adversely affected.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, reduce its exposure for a period of time or close.

American Depositary Receipt (“ADRs”) Risk — ADRs are an equity security issued by a U.S. bank or broker that represents one or more shares of a foreign-company stock held by the U.S. bank in the foreign company’s home stock market. ADRs may be listed on a major U.S. stock exchange or may be traded over the counter and are generally denominated in U.S. dollars. Because ADRs are issued by non-U.S. companies, they are subject to various foreign investment risks. These risks include the risk that the currency in the issuing company’s country will drop relative to the U.S. dollar, that politics or regime changes in the issuing company’s country will undermine exchange rates or destabilize the company and its earnings, or that inflation in the issuing company’s country will erode the value of the foreign currency. Additionally, investors may not have access to the same amount of information about the company that is available about domestic companies.

Please see the section entitled “Dividends, Other Distributions and Taxes” in the Statement of Additional Information for more information.

Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bear 1X ETF

Important Information Regarding the Fund

The Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bear 1X ETF (“Fund”) (formerly the Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bear 1X Shares) seeks daily inverse investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. The pursuit of daily inverse investment goals means that the return of the Fund for a period longer than a full trading day may have no resemblance to -100% of the return of the Solactive Distributed Ledger & Decentralized Payment Tech Index (the "Index"). This means that the return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result of each single day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely differ from -100% of the return of the Index for that period. Longer holding periods and higher volatility of the Index increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the Index. Further, the return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading day should not be expected to be -100% of the performance of the Index for the period.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Index seeks to track the performance of US-listed securities that have business operations in the field of distributed ledger or decentralized payment technology, which Solactive AG (the “Index Provider”) defines as being in the following business fields (“Crypto Industry Businesses”):

●

Blockchain Technology – Companies that provide digital, distributed ledgers that facilitate the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a network. This includes companies providing blockchain technology services, including operation of digital asset trading platforms or payment gateways that facilitate payments made with digital assets and companies active in the development or integration of blockchain software and blockchain applications;

●

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) & Tokenization – Companies that enable users to be a part of the digital economy through NFT where each NFT is unique and can be tracked through the blockchain. This includes companies active in NFT trading platform business, or companies having engaged in NFT business by launching NFT auction, issuing NFT or providing NFT brokerage service;

●

Decentralized Finance – Companies that are engaged in the development or provision of decentralized payment technologies and/or that are involved in the provision of technologies, infrastructure, or hardware used to develop or operate decentralized payment systems; and

●

Digital Asset Mining Hardware – Companies that are involved in the manufacture, distribution or assembly of cryptocurrency mining equipment.

To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, the securities must be listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ, or the NYSE American, have a share class market capitalization of at least $500,000,000, and have an average daily traded value of at least $5,000,000.

Once the eligible universe of securities has been identified, companies are selected for inclusion in the Index by the Index Provider, using ARTIS®, the Index Provider’s proprietary natural language processing algorithm. ARTIS uses key words to review large volumes of publicly available data, such as company annual reports, published business descriptions, and financial news reports, which the Index Provider believes will identify and classify companies as having significant exposure to the provision of products and/or services that contribute to the distributed ledger or decentralized payment technology and then ranks the companies based on the number of key word “hits” in the company’s data. The ARTIS classification system is different than traditional classification systems because it utilizes natural language processing, such as key word searching, and does not utilize backward looking metrics, such as a company’s past profits or revenue, to determine the classification of a company.

Companies are only eligible for inclusion in the Index if they generate at least 50% of their revenue from Crypto Industry

Businesses. The Index consists of at least the top 5 ranked companies and then selects additional securities from the current constituents and newly eligible constituents, with a minimum of 25, from those ranking as most relevant. The index is rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly.

As of December 31, 2025, the Index consisted of 25 constituents which were concentrated in the information technology and financial sectors. The Fund does not directly short cryptocurrency, non-fungible tokens or any other digital asset.

The components of the Index and the percentages represented by various sectors in the Index may change over time. The Fund will concentrate its investment in a particular industry or group of industries (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide inverse leveraged exposure to a particular industry or group of industries) to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated.

The Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to overall market movement or the increase

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

or decrease of the value of the securities in the Index. At the close of the markets each trading day, Rafferty rebalances the Fund’s portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Fund’s inverse investment objective. For example, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced and that a shareholder should lose money, a result that is the opposite of traditional index tracking ETFs. This re-positioning strategy may result in high portfolio turnover. The terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next trading day.

Principal Investment Risks

traditional investments. The costs of obtaining short exposure or maintaining short positions will lower the Fund’s returns.

Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk —

The Fund’s performance for periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns compounded over the period, which is likely to differ from -100% of the Index’s performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding has a significant impact on funds that are inverse leveraged and that rebalance daily. The impact of compounding becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase and will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of the Index during the shareholder’s holding period.

Fund performance for periods greater than one single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities of the Index. The chart below provides examples of how Index volatility and its return could affect the Fund’s performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Actual Fund returns are expected to vary from these estimates. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in the Index; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from -100% of the performance of the Index.

Passive Investment and Index Performance Risk —

Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk—

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

achieve its investment objective the Fund’s performance will likely be adversely affected.

Crypto Industry Investing Risk— Companies in the crypto industry are subject to various risks, including the inability to develop digital asset applications or to capitalize on those applications, theft, loss, or destruction of cryptographic keys, the possibility that digital asset technologies may never be fully implemented, cybersecurity risk, conflicting intellectual property claims, and inconsistent and changing regulations. Digital payments processing companies are subject to various risks, including those associated with intense competition, changes in regulation, economic conditions, deterioration in credit markets, impairment of intellectual property rights, disruptions in service, and cybersecurity attacks and other types of theft. Some of the companies in which the Fund will invest are engaged in other lines of business unrelated to the crypto ecosystem and these lines of business could adversely affect their operating results. Crypto asset markets are also relatively new markets, are not regulated in a manner similar to U.S. equities markets, have variable liquidity and may be subject to manipulation. Crypto asset systems, including those built using third party products, may be subject to technical defects or vulnerabilities, and such defects or vulnerabilities may not be capable of being cured.

Financials Sector Risk —Performance of companies in the financials sector may be materially impacted by many factors, including but not limited to, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates and decreased liquidity in credit markets. Profitability of these companies is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers also can negatively impact the sector. These companies are also subject to substantial government regulation and intervention, which may adversely impact the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge, the amount of capital they must maintain, and potentially, their size. Government regulation may change frequently and may have significant adverse consequences for financial companies, including effects that are not intended by such regulation. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, or recent or future regulation in various countries on any individual financial company or of the financials sector as a whole, cannot be predicted. Traditional financial companies may face competition from decentralized

finance (DeFi) or open finance platforms, which seek to democratize access to financial services, such as borrowing, lending, custody, trading, derivatives and insurance, by removing third-party intermediaries. The financials sector is also a target for cyber attacks and may experience technology malfunctions and disruptions, which have occurred more frequently in recent years.

Natural Language Processing Risk — The ARTIS classification system which is the natural language processing classification system utilized by the Index Provider is different than traditional classification systems because it utilizes automated natural language processing, such as key word searching, rather than backward looking metrics, such as a company’s past profits or revenue, to determine the classification of a company. The Index Provider’s use of natural language processing may result in the Index including companies that may not be classified as companies in the Fund’s respective category by other classification systems.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

due to various factors and the Fund’s investments may be adversely impacted.

Small- and/or Mid-Capitalization Company Risk —

Small- and mid-capitalization companies often have narrower markets for their goods and/or services, less stable earnings, and more limited managerial and financial resources and often have limited product lines, services, markets, financial resources or are dependent on a small management group. Because these stocks are not well-known to the investing public, do not have significant institutional ownership and are followed by relatively few security analysts, there will normally be less publicly available information concerning these securities compared to what is available for the securities of larger companies. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, can decrease the value and liquidity of such securities resulting in more volatile performance. These companies may face greater risk of business failure.

trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares could widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its exposure properly which may result in significantly more or less exposure and losses to the Fund. In such an instance, the Fund may increase its transaction fee, utilize derivatives instruments that are less correlated to the Index, change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, reduce its exposure for a period of time or close.

Special Risks of Exchange-Traded Funds

Exchange Trading Risk. Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca. They also may be listed or traded on other U.S. and non-U.S. stock exchanges and may trade on electronic

communication networks. Trading in Shares on their listing exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable, including if they fail to meet the listing requirements of the exchange. Under certain circumstances, Shares may even be delisted. Trading halts of Shares should be expected to disrupt the Fund’s creation/redemption process and may temporarily prevent investors from buying and selling Shares. Like other listed securities, Shares of the Fund may be sold short, and short positions in Shares may place downward pressure on their market price.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

Overview of the Funds

The Direxion Shares ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is a registered investment company offering a number of separate exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). This Prospectus describes the ETFs noted below (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). Rafferty Asset Management, LLC serves as the investment adviser to each Fund ("Rafferty" or the "Adviser").

As shown in the table below, each Fund seeks investment results that correspond to the inverse (-100%) of the performance of an underlying index, before fees and expenses. If, on a given day, an underlying index gains 1%, the Funds are designed to lose approximately 1% (which is equal to -100% of 1%). Conversely, if the underlying index loses 1% on a given day, the Funds are designed to gain approximately 1%. The Funds seek inverse investment results on a daily basis—from the close of regular trading on one trading day to the close on the next trading day—which should not be equated with seeking an inverse investment objective for any other period. As used in this Prospectus, the terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the regular close of the markets on one trading day to the regular close of the markets on the next trading day.

Each Fund seeks to provide a return which is an inverse (-100%) of the daily performance of its underlying index. No Fund attempts to provide returns which are not the inverse (-100%) of the return of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. Each Fund rebalances its portfolio on a daily basis, increasing exposure in response to that day’s gains or reducing exposure in response to that day’s losses.

Also, the exposure to the underlying index received by an investor who purchases a Fund intra-day will differ from the Fund’s stated daily inverse investment objective by an amount determined by the movement of the underlying index from its value at the end of the prior day. If the underlying index moves in a direction favorable to the Fund between the close of the market on one trading day through the time on the next trading day when the investor purchases Fund shares, the investor will receive less exposure to the underlying index than the stated fund daily inverse investment objective. Conversely, if the underlying index moves in a direction adverse to the Fund, the investor will receive more exposure to the underlying index than the stated fund daily inverse investment objective.

Fund	Underlying Index
Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X ETF	S&P 500® Index
Direxion Daily Magnificent 7 Bear 1X ETF	Indxx Magnificent 7 Index
Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bear 1X ETF	Solactive Distributed Ledger & Decentralized Payment Tech Index

Shares of the Funds (“Shares”) are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”), where the market prices for the Shares may be different from the intra-day value of the Shares disseminated by the Exchange and from their net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, Shares are not individually redeemable directly with a Fund. Rather, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares called “Creation Units.” A Creation Unit consists of 25,000 Shares for the Direxion Daily Magnificent 7 Bear 1X ETF and the Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bear 1X ETF and for the remaining Fund, 50,000 Shares. As a result, retail investors generally will not be able to purchase or redeem Shares directly from, or with, each Fund. Most retail investors will purchase or sell Shares in the secondary market through a broker.

The Funds are not suitable for all investors. The Funds are designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and active investors employing dynamic strategies. Such investors are expected to monitor and manage their portfolios frequently. Investors in the Funds should: (a) understand the consequences of seeking daily inverse investment results; (b) understand the risk of shorting; (c) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not understand the Funds or do not intend to actively manage their funds and monitor their investments should not buy the Funds.

There is no assurance that each Fund will achieve its investment objective and an investment in a Fund could lose money. No single Fund is a complete investment program.

Changes in Investment Objective. Each Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy and may be changed by the Funds' Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.

Defensive Policy. Each Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions and does not generally take defensive positions.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

Additional Information Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies

Rafferty uses statistical and quantitative analysis to determine the investments each Fund makes and the techniques it employs. Rafferty relies upon a pre-determined model to generate orders that result in repositioning each Fund’s investments in accordance with its daily inverse investment objective. Using this approach, Rafferty determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes in combination should produce daily returns consistent with a Fund’s investment objective. In general, if a Fund is performing as designed, the return of the underlying index will dictate the return for the Fund. Rafferty does not invest the assets of a Fund in securities, derivatives or other investments based on Rafferty’s view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument or company, nor does it conduct conventional investment research or analysis or forecast market movements or trends.

Rafferty creates net “short” positions for the Funds. (Rafferty may create long positions in the Funds even though the net exposure in the Funds will be short.) Long positions move in the same direction as the underlying index, advancing when the underlying index advances and declining when the underlying index declines. Short positions move in the opposite direction of the underlying index, advancing when the underlying index declines and declining when the underlying index advances.

At the close of the markets each trading day, each Fund will position its portfolio to ensure that the Fund’s exposure to its underlying index is consistent with the Fund’s stated daily inverse investment objective. The impact of market movements during the day determines whether a portfolio needs to be repositioned. If the underlying index has risen on a given day, a Fund’s assets (i.e., net assets plus borrowing for investment purposes, if any) should fall, meaning its exposure will typically need to be decreased. Conversely, if the underlying index has fallen on a given day, a Fund’s net assets should rise, meaning its exposure will typically need to be increased. Each Fund’s portfolio may also need to be changed to reflect changes in the composition of its underlying index. Rafferty increases a Fund’s exposure when its assets rise and reduces a Fund’s exposure when its assets fall.

Fund assets may be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that a Fund's underlying index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries. In addition, each Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties.

The Effects of Fees and Expenses on the Return of a Fund for a Single Trading Day. Each Fund seeks to provide a daily return which is the inverse (or opposite) of the daily return of an underlying index. To create the necessary exposure, a Fund engages in short selling—borrowing and selling securities it does not own. The money that a Fund receives from short sales—the short sale proceeds—is an asset of the Fund that can generate income to help offset the Fund’s operating expenses. However, the costs of creating short exposure, which may require the Fund’s counterparties to borrow and sell certain securities, may offset or outweigh such income. As the holder of a short position, a Fund also is responsible for paying the dividends and interest accruing on the short position, which is an expense to the Fund that could cause the Fund to lose money on the short sale and may adversely affect its performance. Each Fund will reposition its portfolio at the end of every trading day. Therefore, if an investor purchases Fund shares at close of the markets on a given trading day, the investor’s exposure to the underlying index of a Fund would reflect 100% of the inverse performance of the underlying index during the following trading day, subject to the charges and expenses noted above.

A Fund may have difficulty in achieving its daily inverse investment objective due to fees, expenses, transaction costs, income items, accounting standards, significant purchase and redemption activity by Fund shareholders and/or disruptions or a temporary lack of liquidity in the markets for the securities held by the Fund. Additionally, if a Fund's underlying index includes foreign securities or tracks a foreign market index where the foreign market closes before or after the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) closes (generally at 4 p.m. Eastern Time), the performance of the underlying index may differ from the expected daily inverse performance.

An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in a Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments. In such circumstances, a Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

If a Fund is unable to obtain inverse exposure to its underlying index consistent with its investment objective, such as situations in which the instruments utilized by a Fund are thinly traded or have a limited market, a Fund could, among other things, fail to meet its daily investment objective, increase its transaction fee, or reject one or more orders for Creation Units. Under such circumstances, a Fund could trade at a premium or discount to its NAV and the bid-ask spread in its shares could widen.

A Fund seeks daily returns while repositioning exposure daily. Therefore, for a period longer than one day, the pursuit of a daily investment objective will result in daily compounding. This means that the return of an underlying index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a Fund’s daily target (i.e., -100%) generally will not equal a Fund’s performance over that same period. As a consequence, investors should not plan to hold the Funds unmonitored for periods longer

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

than a single trading day. Further, the return for investors that invest for periods less than a full trading day or for a period different than a trading day will not be the product of the return of a Fund’s stated daily inverse investment objective and the performance of the underlying index for the full trading day. The Funds are not suitable for all investors.

Consider the following examples:

Mary is considering investments in two funds, Funds A and B. Fund A is a traditional index ETF which seeks (before fees and expenses) to match the performance of the XYZ index. Similar to the Funds, Fund B is an ETF that seeks daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to -100% of the daily performance of the XYZ index.

On Day 1, the XYZ index increases in value from $100 to $105, a gain of 5%. On Day 2, the XYZ index decreases in value from $105 back to $100, a loss of 4.76%. In the aggregate, the XYZ index has not moved.

An investment in Fund A would be expected to gain 5% on Day 1 and lose 4.76% on Day 2, returning the investment to its original value. The following example assumes a $100 investment in Fund A when the index is also valued at $100:

Day	Index Value	Index Performance	Value of Fund A Investment
	$100.00		$100.00
1	$105.00	5.00%	$105.00
2	$100.00	-4.76%	$100.00

The same $100 investment in Fund B would be expected to lose 5% on Day 1 (-100% of 5%) but gain 4.76% on Day 2.

Day	Index Performance	-100% of Index Performance	Value of Fund B Investment
			$100.00
1	5.00%	-5.00%	$95.00
2	-4.76%	4.76%	$99.52

In the case of Fund B, although the percentage decrease on Day 2 is sufficient to bring the value of the index back to its starting point, because the inverse of that percentage is applied to a lower principal amount on Day 2, Fund B has a loss. (These calculations do not include the charges for fund fees and expenses.) As you can see, an investment in Fund B has additional risks than Fund A due to the effects of compounding on Fund B.

An investor who purchases shares of a Fund intra-day will generally receive more, or less, than -100% exposure to the underlying index from that point until the end of the trading day. The actual exposure will be largely a function of the performance of the underlying index from the end of the prior trading day. If a Fund’s shares are held for a period longer than a single trading day, the Fund’s performance is likely to deviate from -100% of the return of the underlying index performance for the longer period. This deviation will increase with higher index volatility and longer holding periods.

Examples of the Impact of Index Volatility. Each Fund rebalances its portfolio on a daily basis, increasing exposure in response to that day’s gains or reducing exposure in response to that day’s losses. Daily rebalancing will typically cause a Fund to lose money if the underlying index experiences volatility. The index’s volatility rate is a statistical measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in the index’s returns over a defined period. For periods longer than a trading day, volatility in the performance of the underlying index from day to day is the primary cause of any disparity between a Fund’s actual returns and the returns of the underlying index for such period. Volatility causes such disparity because it exacerbates the effects of compounding on a Fund’s returns. Consider the following three examples that demonstrate the effect of volatility on a hypothetical fund seeking an -100% correlation with an underlying index:

Example 1 – Underlying Index Experiences Low Volatility

Mary invests $10.00 in the hypothetical Fund at the close of trading on Day 1. During Day 2, the Fund’s underlying index decreases from 100 to 98, a 2% loss. Mary’s investment rises 2% to $10.20. Mary holds her investment through the close of trading on Day 3, during which the Fund’s underlying index decreases from 98 to 96, a loss of 2.04%. Mary’s investment rises to $10.41, a gain during Day 3 of 2.04%. For the two day period since Mary invested in the Fund, the underlying index lost 4% although Mary’s investment increased by 4.1%. Because the underlying index continued to trend upwards with low volatility, Mary’s return closely correlates to the -100% return of the return of the underlying index for the period.

Example 2 – Underlying Index Experiences High Volatility

Mary invests $10.00 in the hypothetical Fund after the close of trading on Day 1. During Day 2, the Fund’s underlying index decreases from 100 to 98, a 2% loss, and Mary’s investment rises 2% to $10.20. Mary continues to hold her investment through the end of Day 3, during which the Fund’s underlying index increases from 98 to 102, a gain of 4.08%. Mary’s investment declines by 4.08%, from $10.20 to $9.78. For the two day period since Mary invested in the Fund, the Fund’s underlying index gained 2% while Mary’s investment decreased from $10 to $9.78, a 2.20% loss. The volatility of the underlying index affected the correlation between the underlying index’s return for the two day period and Mary’s return. In this situation, Mary lost more than -100% the return of the underlying index.

Example 3 – Intra-day Investment with Volatility

The examples above assumed that Mary purchased the hypothetical Fund at the close of trading on Day 1 and sold her investment at the close of trading on a subsequent day. However, if she made an investment intra-day, she would have received a beta determined by the performance of the underlying index from the end of the prior trading day until her time of purchase on the next trading day. Consider the following example.

Mary invests $10.00 in the hypothetical Fund at 11 a.m. on Day 2. From the close of trading on Day 1 until 11 a.m. on Day 2, the underlying index moved from 100 to 98, a 2% loss. In light of that loss, the Fund’s beta at the point at which Mary invests is -96%. During the remainder of Day 2, the Fund’s underlying index decreases from 98 to 90, a loss of 8.16%, and Mary’s investment rises 7.83% (which is the underlying index gain of 8.16% multiplied by the 96% beta that she received) to $10.78. Mary continues to hold her investment through the close of trading on Day 2, during which the Fund’s underlying index increases from 90 to 110, a gain of 22.22%. Mary’s investment declines by 18.2%, from $10.78 to $8.82. For the period of Mary’s investment, the Fund’s underlying index increased from 98 to 110, a gain of 12.25%, while Mary’s investment decreased from $10.00 to $8.82, an 11.8% loss. The volatility of the underlying index affected the correlation between the index’s return for period and Mary’s return. In this situation, Mary lost less than -100% of the return of the underlying index. Mary’s investment was also affected because she missed the first 2% move of the underlying index and had a beta of -96% for the remainder of Day 2.

Market Volatility. A Fund seeks to provide a return which is -100% of the daily performance of its underlying index. A Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are -100% of the return of its underlying index for periods other than a single day. A Fund rebalances its portfolio on a daily basis, increasing exposure in response to that day’s gains or reducing exposure in response to that day’s losses.

Daily rebalancing will impair a Fund’s performance if the underlying index experiences volatility. For instance, a Fund would be expected to lose 4% (as shown in Table 1 below) if its underlying index provided no return over a one year period and experienced annualized volatility of 20%. If the underlying index’s annualized volatility were to rise to 40%, the hypothetical loss for a one year period for a Fund widens to approximately 15%.

Table 1 - Impact of Hypothetical Volatility Levels on Returns

Volatility Range	Fund Loss
10%	-1%
20%	-4%
30%	-9%
40%	-15%
50%	-22%
60%	-30%
70%	-39%
80%	-47%
90%	-55%
100%	-63%

Note that at higher volatility levels, there is a chance of a significant loss of Fund assets even if the underlying index is flat. For instance, if annualized volatility of the underlying index were 100%, the Fund based on that underlying index would be expected to lose more than 60% of its value, even if the underlying index returned 0% for the year. The index’s volatility rate is a statistical measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in its return the index.

Table 2 shows the annualized historical volatility rate for the Funds’ underlying indices over the five year period ended December 31, 2025. The underlying indices have annualized historical volatility rates over that period ranging from 16.96% to 29.78%. If an index has been in existence for less than five years, its inception date is noted next to its name in Table 2. Since market volatility has negative implications for Funds which rebalance daily, investors should be sure to monitor and manage their investments in the Funds particularly in volatile markets. The negative implications of volatility in Table 1 can be combined with the recent volatility ranges of various indices in Table 2 to give investors some sense of the risks of holding the Funds for longer periods over the past five years. Historical index volatility and performance are not likely indicative of future volatility and performance.

This information is intended to simply underscore the fact that each Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle. The Funds are not intended to be used by, and are not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.

The Projected Returns of Funds for Intra-Day Purchases. Because the Funds rebalance their portfolios once daily, an investor who purchases shares during a day will likely have more, or less, than -100% investment exposure to the underlying index for a Fund. The exposure to the underlying index received by an investor who purchases a Fund intra-day will differ from the Fund’s stated daily investment objective (i.e.,-100%) by an amount determined by the movement of the underlying index from its value at the end of the prior day. If the underlying index moves in a direction favorable to the Fund between the close of the market on one trading day through the time on the next trading day when the investor purchases Fund shares, the investor will receive less exposure to the underlying index than the stated fund daily investment objective (i.e., -100%). Conversely, if the underlying index moves in a direction adverse to the Fund, the investor will receive more exposure to the underlying index than the stated fund daily inverse investment objective (i.e., -100%).

Table 3 below indicates the exposure to the underlying index that an intra-day purchase of a Fund would be expected to provide based upon the movement in the value of a Fund’s underlying index from the close of the market on the prior trading day. Such exposure holds until a subsequent sale on that same trading day or until the close of the market on that trading day. For instance, if the underlying index of a Fund has moved 2% in a direction favorable to a Fund, the investor would receive exposure to the performance of the underlying index from that point until the investor sells later that day or the end of the day equal to approximately 96% of the investor’s investment.

Conversely, if the underlying index has moved 2% in a direction unfavorable to a Fund, an investor at that point would receive exposure to the performance of the underlying index from that point until the investor sells later that day or the end of the day equal to approximately -104% of the investor’s investment.

The table includes a range of underlying index moves from 5% to –5% for a Fund; index moves beyond the range noted below will result in exposure further from a Fund’s daily investment objective.

Table 3 - Intra-Day Leverage of a Fund Given Market Movements

Index Move	Resulting Exposure for a Fund

-4%	-92%
-3%	-94%

-1%	-98%
0%	-100%

The Projected Returns of the Funds for Periods Other Than a Single Trading Day. The Funds seek investment results on a daily basis—from the close of regular trading on one trading day to the close on the next trading day—which should not be equated with seeking an investment objective for any other period. For instance, if the S&P 500® Index gains 10% for a week, the Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X ETF should not be expected to provide a return of -10% for the week even if it meets its daily investment objective throughout the week. This is true because of the financing charges noted above but also because the pursuit of daily investment objectives may result in daily compounding, which means that the return of an underlying index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a Fund’s daily inverse investment objective (-100%) will not generally equal a Fund’s performance over that same period. In addition, the effects of compounding become greater the longer Shares are held beyond a single trading day.

The following tables set out a range of hypothetical daily performances during a given 10 trading days of an underlying index and demonstrate how changes in the underlying index impact a Fund’s performance for one trading day and cumulatively up to, and including, the entire 10 trading day period. The charts are based on a hypothetical $100 investment in a Fund over a 10 trading day period and do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind.

Day 10	100	-4.76%	0.00%	$93.38	4.76%	-6.62%

The cumulative performance of the hypothetical underlying index in Table 4 is 0% for 10 trading days. The return of a hypothetical Fund for the 10 trading day period is -6.62%. The volatility of the hypothetical underlying index performance and lack of a clear trend results in performance for a hypothetical Fund for the period which bears little relationship to the performance of the hypothetical underlying index for the 10 trading day period.

Day 10	120	1.69%	20.00%	$83.01	-1.69%	-16.91%

The cumulative performance of the hypothetical underlying index in Table 5 is 20% for 10 trading days. The return of a hypothetical Fund for the 10 trading day period is -16.91%. In this case, because of the positive hypothetical underlying index trend, a hypothetical Fund’s decline is less than -100% of the hypothetical underlying index gain for the 10 trading day period.

Additional Information Regarding Principal Risks

An investment in a Fund entails risks. A Fund may not achieve its investment objective and may decline in value. Each Fund presents risks not traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. For example, due to a Fund's daily inverse investment objectives, a small adverse move in the underlying index will result in larger and potentially substantial declines in the Fund. It is important that investors closely review and understand all of a Fund’s risks before making an investment. A Fund is not a complete investment program. The realization of certain of the risks described below may result in adverse market movements that may actually benefit a Fund due to its inverse investment objective. Risks of investing in each Fund are described below.

Shorting or Inverse Risk

Shareholders should lose money when the Index rises, which is a result that is the opposite from traditional index tracking funds. A Fund may engage in short sales or obtain short exposure that is designed to earn the Fund a profit from the decline in the price of particular securities, baskets of securities or indices. If the market price of the underlying security or underlying index goes down between the time a Fund sells the security or underlying index and buys it back, a Fund will realize a gain on the transaction. Conversely, if the underlying security or underlying index goes up in price during the period, a Fund will realize a loss on the transaction. Any such loss is increased by the cost a Fund must pay to short the underlying security or underlying index or obtain short exposure. Likewise, any gain will be decreased by the costs a Fund must pay to short a position or obtain short exposure. A Fund’s investment performance may also suffer if the Fund is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended. In addition, a Fund may be subject to expenses related to short sales that are not typically associated with investing in securities directly, such as costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance costs associated with the Fund’s open short positions. As the holder of a short position, a Fund also is responsible for paying the dividends and interest accruing on the short position, which is an expense to the Fund that could cause the Fund to lose money on the short sale and may adversely affect its performance.

A Fund will typically obtain inverse or “short” exposure through the use of derivatives such as swap agreements or futures contracts, which may expose a Fund to certain risks such as an increase in volatility or decrease in the liquidity of the securities or financial instruments of the underlying short position. If a Fund were to experience this volatility or decreased liquidity, a Fund’s return may be lower, the Fund’s ability to obtain inverse exposure through the use of derivatives may be limited or a Fund may be required to obtain inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or more costly to implement. If the securities or financial instruments underlying the short positions are thinly traded or have a limited market due to various factors, including regulatory action, a Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of available securities, financial instruments or counterparties. A Fund may not be able to issue additional Creation Units during period when it cannot meet its investment objective due to these factors. Any income, dividends or payments by the assets underlying a Fund’s short positions will negatively impact the Fund.

Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk

Each Fund’s performance for periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns compounded

over the period, which is likely to differ from an underlying index’s performance times the stated multiple in a Fund’s investment objective, before fees and expenses. Compounding has a significant impact on leveraged funds and funds that rebalance daily.

Over time, the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in the value of a Fund’s portfolio may diverge significantly from the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in -100% of the return of a Fund's underlying index due to the compounding effect of losses and gains on the returns of a Fund. It also is expected that a Fund will underperform the return of -100% of its underlying index in a trendless or flat market.

The chart below provides examples of how index volatility could affect a Fund’s performance. The underlying index’s volatility rate is a statistical measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in the returns of the index. Fund performance for periods greater than one single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) index volatility; b) index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in its underlying index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – index volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of index volatility and index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in its underlying index; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from -100% of the performance of the underlying index.

As shown below, a Fund would be expected to lose 6.04% if its underlying index provided no return over a one year period during which the underlying index experienced annualized volatility of 25%. If the underlying index’s annualized volatility were to rise to 75%, the hypothetical loss for a one year period widens to approximately 42.9%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a significant loss of value in a Fund. For instance, if the underlying index’s annualized volatility is 100%, a Fund would be expected to lose approximately 63.23% of its value, even if the underlying index’s cumulative return for the year was 0%.

Holding an unmanaged position opens the investor to the risk of market volatility adversely affecting the performance of the investment. A Fund is not appropriate for investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. The table is intended to underscore the fact that a Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.

For additional information and examples demonstrating the effects of volatility and index performance on the long-term performance of the Funds, see the “Additional Information Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies” section, and “Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of the Funds” in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).

Derivatives Risk

A Fund may obtain exposure through derivatives by investing in swap agreements, futures contracts, forward contracts, options, and options on futures contracts. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose a Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater than, risks associated with investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying the derivative.

The risks of using derivatives include: 1) the risk that there may be imperfect correlation between the price of the financial instruments and movements in the prices of the reference asset(s); 2) the risk that an instrument is mispriced; 3) credit or counterparty risk on the amount a Fund expects to receive from a counterparty; 4) the risk that securities prices, interest rates and currency markets will move adversely and a Fund will incur significant losses; 5) the risk that the cost of holding a financial instrument might exceed its total return; 6) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for a particular instrument and possible exchange imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult or impossible to adjust a Fund’s position in a particular instrument when desired; 7) risks arising from margin requirements; 8) operational risk (such as documentation issues, settlement issues and systems failures); and 9) legal risk (such as insufficient documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a counterparty, and issues with the legality or enforceability of a contract). Each of these factors may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective and may increase the volatility (i.e., fluctuations) of the Fund’s

returns. Because derivatives often require limited initial investment, the use of derivatives also may expose a Fund to losses in excess of those amounts initially invested.

The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than than shorting the underlying securities. The use of derivatives may expose a Fund to additional risks such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased daily correlation risk. When a Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the underlying reference assets and the derivative, which may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective.

A Fund expects to use a combination of swaps on the underlying index and swaps on an ETF that is designed to track the performance of that index. The performance of an ETF may not track the performance of its underlying index due to embedded costs and other factors. Thus, to the extent a Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk and may not achieve as high a degree of correlation with its underlying index as it would if the Fund only used swaps on the underlying index. If the underlying index have a dramatic intraday move in value that causes a material decline in a Fund’s NAV, the terms of the swap agreement between a Fund and its counterparty may allow the counterparty to immediately close out of the transaction with a Fund. In such circumstances, a Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with a Fund’s daily inverse investment objective. This may prevent a Fund from achieving its daily inverse investment objective particularly if the underlying index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move by the end of the day. The value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning. Any financing, borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering a Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates rise.

In addition, a Fund’s investments in derivatives are subject to the following risks:

●

Swap Agreements. Swap agreements are entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and therefore, may not receive regulatory protection, which may exposure investors to significant losses.

●

Futures Contracts. A futures contact is a contract to purchase or sell a particular security, or the cash value of an index, at a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract is made. Under such contracts, no delivery of the actual securities is required. Rather, upon the expiration of the contract, settlement is made by

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

exchanging cash in an amount equal to the difference between the contract price and the closing price of a security or index at expiration, net of the variation margin that was previously paid.

●

Forward Contracts. Forward contracts are two-party contracts pursuant to which one party agrees to pay the counterparty a fixed price for an agreed upon amount of commodities, securities, or the cash value of the commodities, securities or the securities index, at an agreed upon date. A forward currency contract is an obligation to buy or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract.

●

Options. An option is a contract that gives the purchaser (holder) of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (call) or sell to (put) the seller (writer) of the option the security or currency underlying the option at a specified exercise price at any time during the term of the option (normally not exceeding nine months). The writer of an option has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the underlying security or currency upon payment of the exercise price or to pay the exercise price upon delivery of the underlying security or currency.

●

Options on Futures Contracts. An option on a futures contract provides the holder with the right to enter into a “long” position in the underlying futures contract, in the case of a call option, or a “short” position in the underlying futures contract in the case of a put option, at a fixed exercise price to a stated expiration date. Upon exercise of the option by the holder, the contract market clearing house establishes a corresponding short position for the writer of the option, in the case of a call option, or a corresponding long position, in the case of a put option.

Counterparty Risk

Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations with respect to the amount a Fund expects to receive from a counterparty to a financial instrument entered into by a Fund. Each Fund generally enters into derivatives transactions, such as the swap agreements, with counterparties such that either party can terminate the contract without penalty prior to the termination date. If a counterparty terminates a contract, a Fund may not be able to invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure, or achieving such exposure may be more expensive. A Fund may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under such a contract, or if any collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of a Fund is insufficient or there are delays in a Fund’s ability to access such collateral. If the counterparty becomes bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to a Fund, it may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery, may obtain only a limited recovery or obtain no recovery and the value of an investment held by a Fund may decline. The Fund may also not be able to exercise remedies, such as the termination of transactions, netting

of obligations and realization on collateral, if such remedies are stayed or eliminated under special resolutions adopted in the United States, the European Union and various other jurisdictions. European Union rules and regulations intervene when a financial institution is experiencing financial difficulties and could reduce, eliminate, or convert to equity a counterparty’s obligations to a Fund (sometimes referred to as a “bail in”).

A Fund typically enters into transactions with counterparties that present minimal risks based on the Adviser’s assessment of the counterparty’s creditworthiness, or its capacity to meet its financial obligations during the term of the derivative agreement or contract. The Adviser considers factors such as counterparty credit rating among other factors when determining whether a counterparty is creditworthy. The Adviser regularly monitors the creditworthiness of each counterparty with which a Fund transacts. Each Fund generally enters into swap agreements or other financial instruments with major, global financial institutions and seeks to mitigate risks by generally requiring that the counterparties for each Fund to post collateral, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to what the counterparty owes a Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds. To the extent any such collateral is insufficient or there are delays in accessing the collateral, the Funds will be exposed to the risks described above. If a counterparty’s credit ratings decline, a Fund may be subject to a bail-in, as described above.

Because a Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase a Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. A Fund does not specifically limit its counterparty risk with respect to any single counterparty. There is a risk that no suitable counterparties are willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with a Fund and, as a result, a Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective or rebalance properly, which may result in significant losses to a Fund, or a Fund may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. Additionally, although a counterparty to a centrally cleared swap agreement and/or an exchange-traded futures contract is often backed by a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) or a clearing organization that is further backed by a group of financial institutions, there may be instances in which a FCM or a clearing organization would fail to perform its obligations, causing significant losses to a Fund.

Rebalancing Risk

If for any reason a Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, a Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment objective. In these instances, a Fund may have investment exposure to the underlying index that is significantly greater or less than its stated investment objective. A Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to significantly greater losses or reduced gains. Additionally, a Fund may close to purchases and sales of Shares prior to the close of trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. or other national

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

securities listing exchanges where Shares are listed, and incur significant losses.

Cash Transaction Risk

Unlike most ETFs, a Fund effects creation and redemptions principally for cash, rather than principally for in-kind securities, because of the nature of the financial instruments held by a Fund. As such, investment in a Fund is not expected to be tax efficient and will incur brokerage costs related to buying and selling investments to achieve a Fund’s investment objective. To the extent that such costs are not offset by fees payable by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset value. ETFs generally are able to make in-kind redemptions and avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio investments at the fund level. Because each Fund effects redemptions principally for cash, each Fund may be required to sell portfolio investments in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. A Fund may recognize a capital gain on these sales that might not have been incurred if such Fund had made a redemption in-kind and this may decrease the tax efficiency of the Fund compared to ETFs that utilize an in-kind redemption process. Additionally, because the each Fund is conducting the portfolio transactions rather than receiving securities in-kind each Fund will incur brokerage commissions and other related expenses thus each Fund’s expenses will be higher than funds that utilize in-kind creations and redemptions.

Intra-Day Investment Risk

Each Fund seeks daily investment results, which should not be equated with seeking an investment objective for shorter than a day. Thus, an investor who purchases Fund shares after the close of the markets on one trading day and before the close of the markets on the next trading day will likely have more, or less, than -100% investment exposure to the underlying index, depending upon the movement of the underlying index from the end of one trading day until the time of purchase. If the underlying index moves in a direction favorable to a Fund, the investor will receive less than -100% exposure to the underlying index. Conversely, if the underlying index moves in a direction adverse to a Fund, the investor will receive exposure to the underlying index greater than -100%. Thus, an investor that purchases shares intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, a Fund’s stated investment objective.

If there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities the underlying index experience a significant change in value, a Fund may not meet its investment objective or may be unable to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, resulting in significant losses or reduced gains. In response to significant intraday market volatility, among other actions, the Adviser may determine to trade a portion or all of the rebalance trade for a Fund prior to market close, which may result in the Fund not achieving its investment objective. Additionally, a Fund’s Shares traded on the secondary market may experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.

Daily Inverse Index Correlation Risk

Investors will lose money when the underlying index of a Fund rises, which is a result that is the opposite from traditional index funds. There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse correlation to its underlying index and therefore achieve its daily inverse investment objective. To achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with its underlying index, a Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to be consistent with its daily inverse investment objective. A Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily inverse investment objective due to fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by a Fund. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions or extreme volatility will also adversely affect a Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels.

Because an underlying index may include instruments that trade on a different market than a Fund, a Fund's return may vary from the inverse of the performance of its underlying index because different markets may close before the Exchange opens or may not be open for business on the same calendar days as a Fund. Additionally, due to differences in trading hours, and because the underlying index may be calculated using prices obtained at times other than a Fund's NAV calculation time or using fair valuations of index securities, a Fund's performance may not correlate to the its underlying index. Additionally, there may be legal restrictions or limitation imposed by governments of certain countries which may limit the size of a Fund’s holding or otherwise limit a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Early and unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of a Fund trade may result in a Fund’s inability to execute intended portfolio transactions which will impact a Fund’s ability to meet its daily investment objectives and its inverse correlation to the Index. A Fund may trade more frequently to comply with regulatory restrictions such as registered investment qualification rules, may take or refrain from taking positions in order to improve tax efficiency, or for other reasons, each of which may negatively impact a Fund’s inverse correlation to the Index.

A Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in its underlying index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the underlying index. In addition, a Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the underlying index or the financial instruments utilized by a Fund may not provide the expected correlation to the its underlying index resulting in a not performing as expected. A Fund may also use other investment companies, such as ETFs, as reference assets for derivative instruments. A Fund that does so, utilizes an ETF’s market price, rather than its net asset value to transact and price such derivative instruments and an ETF’s performance may differ from the index it tracks, thus resulting in additional tracking error for a Fund. Certain Funds may measure their correlation to the performance of one of more ETFs rather than a Fund’s

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

underlying index. A Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to its underlying index. In addition, the target amount of portfolio exposure to the underlying index is impacted dynamically by the underlying index’s movement. Because of this, it is unlikely that a Fund will be perfectly exposed to its underlying index at the end of each day. The possibility of a Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to its underlying index increases on days when the underlying index is volatile near the close of the trading day. Activities surrounding periodic underlying index reconstitutions and other underlying index rebalancing or reconstitution events may hinder a Fund’s ability to meet its daily inverse investment objective. Any of these factors could decrease correlation between the performance of a Fund and the underlying index and may hinder a Fund’s ability to meet its daily investment objective.

Passive Investment and Index Performance Risk

A third party (the “Index Provider”), who is unaffiliated with a Fund or Adviser, maintains and exercises complete control over an underlying index. Each Index Provider may delay or add a rebalance date, which may adversely impact the performance of a Fund and its correlation to an underlying index. There is no guarantee that the methodology used by a Index Provider to identify constituents for an underlying index will achieve its intended result or positive performance. Each underlying index relies on various sources of information to assess the potential constituents of an underlying index, including information that may be based on assumptions or estimates. There is no assurance that the sources of information are reliable, and the Adviser does not assess the due diligence conducted by each Index Provider with respect to the data it uses or an underlying index construction and computation processes. Industry calculations in an underlying index will fluctuate with changes in constituents’ market values such that an underlying index may become more, or less, concentrated over time. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying an underlying index or the calculation of an underlying index will be free from error or that an error will be identified and/or corrected, which may have an adverse impact on a Fund.

A Fund generally will not change its investment exposures, including by buying or selling securities or instruments, in response to market conditions. For example, a Fund generally will not sell a constituent due to a decline in its performance or based on changes to the prospects of a constituent, unless that constituent is removed from an underlying index with which a Fund seeks correlated performance.

Market Risk

A Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, inflation rates and/or investor expectations concerning such rates, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks.

Interest rates and inflation rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors and a Fund’s investments may not keep pace with these changes.

Securities markets also may experience long periods of decline in value. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously and changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact a market the markets broadly. A Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional or global events such as war, tariffs and trade wars, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund, its investments and a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The economic, fiscal, monetary and foreign policies of the U.S. government, including the imposition of tariffs, changes to the federal agencies and regulatory policies will impact the U.S. economy and could lead to increased market volatility and may adversely impact the overall market and individual securities, including the various counterparties utilized by the Fund.

To the extent that the instruments utilized by a Fund are thinly traded or have a limited market, a Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods, a Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. As a result, a Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or discount to their NAV or the bid-ask spread of a Fund’s shares could widen. Under such circumstances, a Fund may increase its transaction fee, change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, reduce its leverage or close. If a Fund must sell all or a portion of its investments, whether due to redemptions, a leverage reduction, its liquidation or otherwise, such sales may be at unfavorable prices and adversely affect a Fund.

Markets and market participants are increasingly reliant on information data systems. Inaccurate data, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, unauthorized use or access and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems and may have an adverse impact upon a single issuer, a group of issuers, or securities markets more broadly.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data Company Risk

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

The products and services of AI and big data companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product or service introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. AI and big data companies are potential targets for cyberattacks, which can have a materially adverse impact on the performance of these companies. In addition, AI technology could face increasing regulatory scrutiny in the future, which may limit the development of this technology and impede the growth of companies that develop and/or utilize this technology. Similarly, the collection of data from consumers and other sources could face increased scrutiny as regulators consider how the data is collected, stored, safeguarded and used. AI and big data companies may face regulatory fines and penalties, including forced break-ups, that could hinder the ability of the companies to operate on an ongoing basis. The customers and/or suppliers of AI and big data companies may be concentrated in a particular country, region or industry. Any adverse event affecting one of these countries, regions or industries could have a negative impact on AI and big data companies. Country, government, and/or region-specific regulations or restrictions could have an impact on AI and big data companies.

Automotive Companies Risk

The automotive industry can be highly cyclical, and companies in the industry may suffer periodic operating losses. Automotive companies can be significantly affected by labor relations and fluctuating component prices. Developments in automotive technologies (e.g., autonomous vehicle technologies) may require significant capital expenditures that may not generate profits for several years, if ever. Automotive companies may be significantly subject to government policies and regulations regarding imports and exports of automotive products. Governmental policies affecting the automotive industry, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies, and import and export restrictions on automotive products can influence industry profitability. In addition, such companies must comply with environmental laws and regulations, for which there may be severe consequences for non-compliance. While most of the major automotive manufacturers are large companies, certain others may be non-diversified in both product line and customer base and may be more vulnerable to certain events that may negatively impact the automotive industry.

Crypto Industry Investing Risk

Companies in the crypto industry are subject to various risks, including the inability to develop digital asset applications or to capitalize on those applications, theft, loss, or destruction of cryptographic keys, the possibility that digital asset technologies may never be fully implemented, cybersecurity risk, conflicting intellectual property claims, and inconsistent and changing regulations. Digital payments processing companies are subject to various risks, including those associated with intense competition, changes in regulation, economic conditions, deterioration in credit markets, impairment of intellectual property rights, disruptions in

service, and cybersecurity attacks and other types of theft. Some of the companies in which a Fund will invest are engaged in other lines of business unrelated to the crypto ecosystem and these lines of business could adversely affect their operating results. Crypto asset markets are also relatively new, are not regulated in a manner similar to U.S. equities markets, have variable liquidity and may be subject to manipulation. Crypto asset systems, including those built using third party products, may be subject to technical defects or vulnerabilities, and such defects or vulnerabilities may not be capable of being cured.

Energy Sector Risk

The energy markets may experience significant volatility. Disruptions and increased volatility in energy and commodity futures markets due to actual and potential disruptions in the supply and demand for certain commodities, including oil and natural gas can occur. Continued armed conflict and or any other potential geopolitical market disruptions, as well as the effect of retaliatory actions, such as sanctions, tariffs, or embargoes, the current sanctions and restrictions and any potential additional sanctions and associated market disruptions are impossible to predict and depend on many factors and may have an adverse impact on the energy sector. Companies that engage in energy-related businesses may be cyclical and highly dependent on energy prices. Energy sector securities may be adversely impacted by the following factors, among others: changes in the levels and volatility of global energy prices, global supply and demand, and capital expenditures on the exploration and production of energy sources; changes in the actual or perceived availability of oil or other resource deposits; the enactment or cessation of trade sanctions, import controls or tariffs, war or other geopolitical conflicts, negative perception, increased litigation, energy infrastructure developments or service failures; exchange rates, interest rates, economic conditions, and tax treatment; and energy conservation efforts, increased competition and technological advances. Companies in this sector may be subject to substantial government regulation and contractual fixed pricing, which may increase the cost of doing business and limit earnings. A significant portion of an energy company’s revenue may come from a relatively small number of customers, including governmental entities and utilities and governmental budget constraints may have material adverse impact on the stock prices of these companies.

Energy companies may operate or engage in, transactions involving countries with less developed regulatory regimes or a history of expropriation, nationalization or other adverse policies. Energy companies may also be significantly impacted by the supply of, and demand for, specific products, such as oil and natural gas, and services, exploration and production spending, government subsidization, world events and general economic conditions. Energy companies may have relatively high levels of debt and may be more likely than other companies to restructure if there are downturns in energy markets or the global economy. In addition, these companies are at risk of civil liability from accidents resulting

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

in injury, loss of life or property, pollution or other environmental damage claims and risk of loss from terrorism, political unrest and natural disasters.

Financials Sector Risk

Performance of companies in the financials sector are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability of such companies is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate. The financials sector is also a target for cyber attacks and may experience technology malfunctions and disruptions, which have occurred more frequently in recent years. Traditional financial companies may face competition from decentralized finance (DeFi) or open finance platforms, which seek to democratize access to financial services, such as borrowing, lending, custody, trading, derivatives and insurance, by removing third-party intermediaries. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, recent or future regulation on any individual financial company or recent or future regulation on the financials sector as a whole cannot be predicted.

Information Technology Sector Risk

The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from competitors with lower production costs. In addition, many information technology companies have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely

affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the information technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the application software industry, in particular, may also be negatively affected by the risk that subscription renewal rates for their products and services decline or fluctuate, leading to declining revenues. Companies in the systems software industry may be adversely affected by, among other things, actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in their products and services, which may result in individual or class action lawsuits, state or federal enforcement actions and other remediation costs. Companies in the computer software industry may also be affected by the availability and price of computer software technology components.

Communication Services Sector Risk

The communication services sector may be dominated by a small number of companies which may lead to additional volatility in the sector. Communication services companies are particularly vulnerable to the potential obsolescence of products and services due to technological advances and the innovation of competitors. Communication services companies may also be affected by other competitive pressures, such as pricing competition, as well as research and development costs, substantial capital requirements and government regulation. Fluctuating domestic and international demand, shifting demographics and often unpredictable changes in consumer demand can drastically affect a communication services company’s profitability. Telecommunication service providers are often required to obtain licenses or franchises in order to provide services in a given location. Licensing or franchise rights are limited, which may result in an advantage to certain participants. Compliance with governmental regulations, delays or failure to receive regulatory approvals, or the enactment of new regulatory requirements may negatively affect the business of telecommunication services companies. Companies in media and entertainment industries can be significantly affected by competition, particularly in formulating new products and services using new technologies, and the cyclicality of revenues and earnings. Certain companies in the communication services sector may be particular targets of network security breaches, hacking and potential theft of proprietary or consumer information or disruptions in services, which would have a material adverse effect on their businesses.

Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk

Because companies in the consumer discretionary sector manufacture products and provide discretionary services directly to the consumer, the success of these companies is tied closely to the performance of the overall domestic and international economy, including the functioning of the global supply chain, interest rates, inflation, competition and consumer confidence. Success depends heavily on disposable household income and consumer spending, and may be strongly affected by social trends and marketing campaigns. Also, companies in the consumer discretionary sector may be subject to intense competition, which may have an adverse impact on a company’s profitability. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

demand for, and success of, consumer discretionary products in the marketplace.

Interactive Media & Services Industry Risk

The interactive media and services industry includes companies producing and distributing digital content and generating revenue via advertising on social media, search engines and review portals. The prices of technology and media companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the overall market. These companies are subject to rapid changes in technology and consumer platform preference, including the increased use of mobile-based apps, competition for advertising revenue, changes in audience preferences, evolving industry standards and frequent new product productions. Regulatory changes regarding consumer and data protection, antitrust, taxation and payment laws may adversely impact these companies, especially if different there are different regulatory requirements in different jurisdictions and countries. The collection of data from consumers and other sources could face increased scrutiny as regulators consider how the data is collected, stored, safeguarded and used. Additionally, these companies may face the increased risk of cyberattacks. These companies also face significant competition for qualified, technical personnel.

Natural Language Processing Risk

A natural language processing classification system utilized by an underlying index is different than traditional classification systems because it utilizes automated natural language processing, such as key word searching, rather than backward looking metrics, such as a company’s past profits or revenue, to determine the classification of a company. The use of natural language processing may result in an underlying index including companies that may not be classified in the respective category by other classification systems.

Retail Industry Risk

Securities of companies in the retail industry can be significantly affected by the performance of the domestic and international economy, consumer confidence and spending, intense competition, changes in demographics, and changing consumer tastes and preferences. In addition, the retail industry is highly competitive and a company’s success can be tied to its ability to anticipate changing consumer tastes.

Semiconductor Industry Risk

Semiconductor companies may face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from subsidized foreign competitors with lower production costs, and such competition may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Semiconductor companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Semiconductor companies’ supply chain and operations are dependent on the availability of materials that meet exacting standards and the use of third parties to provide components and services. Semiconductor companies may rely on a limited number of suppliers, or upon suppliers in a single location, for certain materials, equipment or tools. Finding and

qualifying alternate or additional suppliers can be a lengthy process that can cause production delays or impose unforeseen costs, and such alternatives may not be available at all. Production can be disrupted by the unavailability of resources, such as water, silicon, electricity, gases and other materials. Suppliers may also increase prices or encounter cybersecurity or other issues that can disrupt production or increase production costs. Semiconductor companies typically face high capital costs and such companies may need additional financing, which may be difficult to obtain. They also may be subject to risks relating to research and development costs and the availability and price of components.

The products of semiconductor companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Capital equipment expenditures could be substantial, and equipment generally suffers from rapid obsolescence. Companies in the semiconductor industry are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights, would adversely affect the profitability of these companies.

Software Industry Risk

Companies that develop and implement software can face risks associated with low barriers to entry, competition, especially in software development, deployment and delivery, and also due to product obsolescence or saturation, changes in regulation especially with respect to consumer or customer data, and risks associated with technology.

Large-Capitalization Company Risk

Large-capitalization companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market conditions. Larger companies may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’ returns.

Mid-Capitalization Company Risk

Mid-capitalization companies often have narrower markets for their goods and/or services and more limited managerial and financial resources. Furthermore, those companies often have limited product lines, services, markets, financial resources, less stable earnings, or are dependent on a small management group. In addition, because these stocks are not well known to the investing public, do not have significant institutional ownership and are followed by relatively few security analysts, there will normally be less publicly available information concerning these securities compared to what is available for the securities of larger companies. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, can decrease the value and liquidity of securities held by a Fund. As a result, the price of mid-capitalization companies can be more volatile and they may be less liquid than large-capitalization companies, which could increase the volatility of a Fund’s portfolio.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

Small- and/or Mid-Capitalization Company Risk

Small- and/or mid-capitalization companies often have narrower markets for their goods and/or services, less stable earnings, and more limited managerial and financial resources. Furthermore, those companies often have limited product lines, services, markets, financial resources or are dependent on a small management group. Because these stocks are not well-known to the investing public, there will normally be less publicly available information concerning these securities. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, can decrease the value and liquidity of such securities, resulting in more volatile performance. They also face greater risk of business failure.

Australian Securities Risk

Securities of issuers located in Australia may be subject to regulatory, political, currency, security, environmental, and economic risk specific to Australia. The Australian economy is heavily dependent on exports from the energy, agricultural and mining sectors. As a result, the Australian economy is susceptible to fluctuations in the commodity markets. The Australian economy is also becoming increasingly dependent on its growing services industry. The Australian economy is dependent on trading with key trading partners, including the United States, China, Japan, Singapore and certain European countries. Reduction in spending on Australian products and services, or changes in any of the economies, may cause an adverse impact on the Australian economy. Additionally, Australia is located in a part of the world that has historically been prone to natural disasters, such as hurricanes and droughts, and is economically sensitive to environmental events. Any such event may adversely impact the Australian economy.

Canadian Securities Risk

The Canadian economy is very dependent on the demand for, and supply and price of, natural resources and on relationships with certain key trading partners, including the United States, countries in the European Union and China. Because the United States is Canada’s largest trading partner and foreign investor, the Canadian economy is dependent on and may significantly affected by the U.S. economy. Reduction in spending on Canadian products and services, changes in natural resource sectors or changes in the U.S. economy may adversely impact the Canadian economy. Trade agreements may further increase Canada’s dependency on the U.S. economy, and uncertainty as to the future of such trade agreements may cause a decline in the value of Canadian companies. The Canadian economy is also sensitive to fluctuations in certain commodity prices. In addition, certain sectors of Canada’s economy may be subject to foreign ownership limitations, which may negatively impact the ability of a fund and/or counterparties to invest in Canadian securities.

Emerging Markets Risk

Securities of issuers located in emerging markets face the potential for greater market volatility, lower trading volume, higher levels of inflation, political and economic instability, greater risk of market shutdown and more government

limitations on foreign investments. Emerging market countries may include economies that concentrate in only a few industries, security issues that are held by only a few investors, limited trading capacity in local exchanges and the possibility that markets or issuances or securities offerings may be manipulated by foreign nationals who have inside information.

Some countries that are considered emerging markets may experience economic instability, including instability that results from substantial rates of inflation or significant devaluations of their currency, or economic recessions, which would have a negative effect on economies and securities markets of their economies. Some of these countries may also impose restrictions on the exchange or export of currency or adverse currency exchange rates and may be characterized by a lack of available currency hedging instruments. Additionally, emerging markets often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements, auditor oversight, and reliable securities valuations and greater risks associated with custody of securities than developed markets and information about securities may be less reliable or complete. Shareholder claims and legal remedies that are common in the United States may be difficult or impossible to pursue in many emerging market countries.

Emerging markets often have greater risk of capital controls through such measures as taxes or interest rate control than developed markets. Certain emerging markets countries may also lack the infrastructure necessary to attract large amounts of foreign trade and investment. Local securities markets in emerging market countries may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times. Settlement procedures in emerging market countries are frequently less developed and reliable than those in other developed countries, which may result in significant delays in registering the transfer of securities and may make it more difficult for a Fund to value its holdings.

Economic, business, political, or social instability may adversely affect the value of emerging market securities more than securities of developed markets. Disparities of wealth, the pace and success of democratization and ethnic, religious and racial disaffection, among other factors, may exacerbate social unrest, violence and labor unrest in addition to unanticipated or sudden political and social developments may result in sudden and significant reductions in the value of securities. Additionally, any of these developments may result in a decline in the value of a country’s currency. Emerging markets may develop unevenly and may never fully develop. There is also a higher risk of loss due to expropriation, nationalization, confiscation of assets and property or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investments and repatriation of capital invested in certain emerging market countries. These investments could be impacted by sustainability risks, in particular those caused by environmental changes related to climate change, social issues (including relating to labor rights) and governance

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

risk (including but not limited to risks around board independence, ownership and control, or audit and tax management).

Liquidity Risk

Holdings of a Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. There is no assurance that a security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If a Fund is forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an unfavorable time or price a Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market conditions or restrictions may prevent a Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving its investment objective. In certain market conditions a Fund may be one of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the securities of its underlying index. Under such circumstances, the market for securities of its underlying index may lack sufficient liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, a Fund may have more difficulty transacting in the securities or financial instruments and a Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and price volatility in the securities of its underlying index.

To the extent that the instruments utilized by a Fund are thinly traded or have a limited market, a Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods, a Fund's ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. As a result, a Fund's shares would trade at a premium or discount to their NAV and/or the bid ask spread of a Fund's shares could widen. Under such circumstances, a Fund may be unable to rebalance its exposure properly which may result in significantly more or less exposure and losses to a Fund. In such an instance, a Fund may increase its transaction fee, utilize derivatives instruments that are less correlated to its underlying index, change its investment objective, reduce its exposure for a period of time or close.

Early Close/Trading Halt Risk

When indices or securities experience a sharp decline in price, an exchange or market may close entirely or halt for a period of time in accordance with exchange “circuit breaker” rules or issue trading halts on specific securities and therefore, a Fund’s ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted. These exchange or market actions may result in a Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments. A Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses. If a Fund is unable to rebalance its portfolio, it may cause a Fund not to track the inverse of the index, which would cause the Fund to perform differently than expected. Additionally, exchange or market closures or trading halts may result in a Fund’s shares trading at an increasingly large discount to NAV and/or at increasingly wide bid-ask spreads during part of, or all of, the trading day.

Equity Securities Risk

Publicly-issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity

securities in which a Fund invests will cause the NAV of the Fund to fluctuate.

Money Market Instrument Risk

Money market instruments, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase agreements may be used for cash management purposes. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the short-term debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository account is held. Repurchase agreements are contracts in which a seller of securities agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market instruments may also be subject to credit risks associated with the instruments in which they invest. There is no guarantee that money market instruments will maintain a stable value, and they may lose money.

Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk

A Fund may invest in, or obtain exposure to, another investment company, including an ETF (each, an “underlying fund”), to pursue its investment objective or manage cash. When investing in an underlying fund, including an ETF, a Fund becomes a shareholder of that underlying fund and as a result, Fund shareholders indirectly bear a Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the underlying fund, in addition to the fees and expenses of a Fund’s own operations. A Fund must rely on the underlying fund to achieve its investment objective. Accordingly, if the underlying fund fails to achieve its investment objective, a Fund’s performance will likely be adversely affected. To the extent a Fund obtains exposure to an underlying fund, including an ETF, by entering into a derivatives contract whose reference asset is the underlying fund, a Fund will not be a shareholder of the underlying fund but will still be exposed to the risk that it may fail to achieve its investment objective and adversely impact the Fund.

In addition, to the extent that a Fund invests in an underlying fund that is an ETF, it will be exposed to all of the risks associated with the ETF structure, including any risks associated with representative sampling (see “Special Risks of Exchange-Traded Funds”). For example, shares of ETFs may trade at a discount or a premium to an ETF’s net asset value, which may result in an ETF’s market price being more or less than the value of the index that the ETF tracks especially during periods of market volatility or disruption. There may also be additional trading costs due to an ETF’s bid-ask spread, and/or the underlying fund may suspend sales or redemptions of its shares due to market circumstances that make it impracticable to conduct such transactions, any of which may adversely impact a Fund’s performance. If an underlying fund’s shares are suspended from trading on an exchange, a Fund may not be able to obtain the required exposure to meet its investment objective.

Tax Risk

In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, a Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet certain asset

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet annual distribution requirements. A Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy will potentially be limited by a Fund’s intention to qualify for such treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. A Fund can make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is unclear. If, in any year, a Fund was to fail to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and was ineligible to or was not able to cure such failure, a Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce a Fund’s net assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, a Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain distributions. Please see the section entitled “Dividends, Other Distributions and Taxes” in the SAI for more information.

Non-Diversification Risk

Each Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that a Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty and make a Fund more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund.

Special Risks of Exchange-Traded Funds

Authorized Participants Concentration Risk. A Fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. To the extent that those Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, Shares may trade at larger bid-ask spreads and/or premiums or discounts to NAV. Authorized Participant concentration risk may be heightened for a fund that invests in non-U.S. securities or other securities or instruments that have lower trading volumes.

Market Price Variance Risk. Shares of a Fund can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices rather than at NAV. When Shares trade at a price greater than NAV, they are said to trade at a “premium.” When they trade at a price less than NAV, they are said to trade at a “discount.” The market price of Shares fluctuates based on changes in the value of a Fund’s holdings, the supply and demand for Shares, and other market factors. Because Shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units at NAV, the Adviser believes that large discounts or premiums to the net asset value of Shares should not be sustained over the

long term. Nevertheless, the market price of Shares may vary significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. Further, to the extent that exchange specialists, market makers and/or Authorized Participants are unavailable or unable to trade a Fund’s Shares and/or create and redeem Creation Units, bid/ask spreads and premiums or discounts may widen. The exact exposure of an investment in a Fund intraday in the secondary market is a function of the difference between the value of the underlying index at the market close on the first trading day and the value of the underlying index at the time of purchase. Thus, an investor that purchases shares intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the inverse of the Index.

Trading Cost Risk. Buying or selling Fund shares on an exchange involves two types of costs that apply to all securities transactions. When buying or selling shares of a Fund through a broker, a buyer may incur a brokerage commission and other charges. In addition, a buyer may incur the cost of the “spread”; that is, the difference between what investors are willing to pay for Fund shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which they are willing to sell Fund shares (the “ask” price). The spread, which varies over time for shares of a Fund based on trading volume and market liquidity, is generally narrower if the Fund has more trading volume and market liquidity and wider if the Fund has less trading volume and market liquidity. In addition, increased market volatility may cause wider spreads. There may also be regulatory and other charges that are incurred as a result of trading activity. Because of the costs inherent in buying or selling Fund shares, frequent trading may detract significantly from investment results and an investment in Fund shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments through a brokerage account.

Exchange Trading Risk. Shares are listed for trading on the listing exchange identified on the cover of the Prospectus. They also may be listed or traded on other U.S. and non-U.S. stock exchanges and may trade on electronic communication networks. Trading in Shares on their listing exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable, including if they fail to meet the listing requirements of the exchange. Under certain circumstances, Shares may even be delisted. Trading halts of Shares should be expected to disrupt the creation/redemption process and may temporarily prevent investors from buying and selling Shares. Like other listed securities, Shares may be sold short, and short positions in Shares may place downward pressure on their market price. U.S. markets and exchanges may close early due to market or other circumstances, which may result in a Fund incurring substantial losses, not meeting its investment objective, or rebalancing its portfolio appropriately.

Other Risks of the Funds

Investment Strategy Implementation Risk

The Adviser utilizes a quantitative methodology to select investments for each Fund. Although this methodology is designed to correlate a Fund's daily performance with -100%

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

of the daily performance of the underlying index, there is no assurance that the implementation of such methodology will be successful and will enable a Fund to achieve its investment objective.

Aggressive Investment Technique Risk

Using investment techniques that may be considered aggressive, such as futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swap agreements, includes the risk of potentially dramatic changes (losses) in the value of the instruments, imperfect correlations between the price of the instrument and the underlying asset, security or index, and volatility of a Fund.

Commodity Pool Registration Risk

Each Fund is considered a commodity pool and therefore is subject to regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC rules. Registration as a commodity pool requires compliance with such additional laws, regulations and enforcement policies which may potentially increase compliance costs and may affect the operations and financial performance of the Funds.

Cybersecurity Risk

The increased use of technologies, such as the internet, to conduct business increases the operational, information security and related “cyber” risks both directly to a Fund and through its service providers. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers of securities in which a Fund may invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers. Unlike many other types of risks faced by a Fund, these risks typically are not covered by insurance. Cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber incidents may include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious software coding) for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, causing physical damage to computer or network systems, or causing operational disruption. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users).

Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of a Fund, a Fund’s adviser, distributor, other service providers, counterparties, securities trading venues, or the issuers of securities in which a Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions and negatively impact a Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to a Fund and its shareholders. Cyber attacks may also interfere with the Fund’s calculation of its NAV, result in the submission of erroneous trades or erroneous creation or redemption orders, and could lead to violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs and/or additional compliance costs. While a Fund has established business continuity plans, there are inherent limitations in such plans, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified and that prevention and remediation efforts will not be successful. Furthermore, a Fund cannot control the cyber security plans and systems of a Fund’s service providers or issuers of securities in which a Fund invests.

Investment Risk

An investment in a Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell your Shares, they could be worth less than what you paid for them.

Risk of Global Economic Shock

Widespread disease, including public health disruptions, pandemics and epidemics (for example, COVID-19 including its variants), have been and may continue to be highly disruptive to economies and markets. Health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks, and result in breakdowns, delays, shutdowns, social isolation, civil unrest, periods of high unemployment, shortages in and disruptions to the medical care and consumer goods and services industries, and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains, with potential corresponding results on the performance of a Fund and its investments.

Additionally, wars, military conflicts, sanctions, acts of terrorism, sustained elevated inflation, supply chain issues or other events could have a significant negative impact on global financial markets and economies. Russia’s military incursions in Ukraine have led to, and may lead to additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia. The ongoing hostilities between the two countries could result in additional widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the region and certain markets. Sanctions on Russian exports could have a significant adverse impact on the Russian economy and related markets and could affect the value of a Fund’s investments, even beyond any direct exposure a Fund may have to the region or to adjoining geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could have a severe adverse effect on the region, including significant negative impacts on the economy and the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas. Furthermore, the possibility of a prolonged conflict between Hamas and Israel, and the potential expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in such conflict, such as the Houthi movement’s attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea, could further destabilize the Middle East region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the oil and natural gas markets. How long such tensions and related events will last cannot be predicted. These tensions and any related events could have significant impact on a Fund performance and the value of an investment in a Fund.

Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk

Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics (for example, COVID-19), have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets and have recently led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and significant market losses. Such natural disaster and health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks, and result in significant breakdowns, delays, shutdowns, social isolation,

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains affected, with potential corresponding results on the operating performance of each Fund and its investments. A climate of uncertainty and panic, including the contagion of infectious viruses or diseases, may adversely affect global, regional, and local economies and reduce the availability of potential investment opportunities, and increases the difficulty of performing due diligence and modeling market conditions, potentially reducing the accuracy of financial projections. Under these circumstances, each Fund may have difficulty achieving its investment objective, which may adversely impact Fund performance. Further, such events can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, significantly disrupt the operations of individual companies (including, but not limited to, each Fund’s investment advisor, third party service providers, and counterparties), sectors, industries, markets, securities and commodity exchanges, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of each Fund’s investments. These factors can cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, changes in the availability of and the margin requirements for certain instruments, and can impact the ability of each Fund to complete redemptions and otherwise affect Fund performance. A widespread crisis would also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted. Impacts from these events could have a significant impact on each Fund’s performance, resulting in losses to your investment.

Regulatory Risk

Each Fund is subject to the risk that a change in U.S. law and related regulations will impact the way a Fund operates, increase the particular costs of a Fund’s operations and/or change the competitive landscape. Additional legislative or regulatory changes could occur that may materially and adversely affect each Fund.

Valuation Risk

In certain circumstances, such as when market quotations for securities or other assets are unavailable or unreliable or when a trading halt ends trading in a security or closes an exchange or market early, a holding may be fair valued for the day or for a longer period of time. The fair valuation of the holding may be different from other value determinations of the same holding. Holdings that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” holdings, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value form one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, the price a Fund could receive upon the sale of a holding may differ from a Fund’s valuation of the holding or from the value used by the underlying index, particularly for holdings that trade in low volume or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology as a result of trade suspensions or halts or for any other reason.

A Precautionary Note to Retail Investors. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), a limited trust company and securities depositary that serves as a national clearinghouse for the settlement of trades for its participating banks and

broker-dealers, or its nominee, will be the registered owner of all outstanding Shares of each Fund of the Trust. Your ownership of Shares will be shown on the records of DTC and the DTC Participant broker through whom you hold the Shares. THE TRUST WILL NOT HAVE ANY RECORD OF YOUR OWNERSHIP. Your account information will be maintained by your broker, who will provide you with account statements, confirmations of your purchases and sales of Shares, and tax information. Your broker also will be responsible for ensuring that you receive shareholder reports and other communications from a Fund whose Shares you own. Typically, you will receive other services (e.g., average basis information) only if your broker offers these services.

A Precautionary Note to Purchasers of Creation Units. Because new Shares may be issued on an ongoing basis, a “distribution” of Shares could be occurring at any time. As a dealer, certain activities on your part could, depending on the circumstances, result in your being deemed a participant in the distribution, in a manner that could render you a statutory underwriter and subject you to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). For example, you could be deemed a statutory underwriter if you purchase Creation Units from an issuing Fund, break them down into the constituent Shares and sell those Shares directly to customers, or if you choose to couple the creation of a supply of new Shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary market demand for Shares. Whether a person is an underwriter depends upon all of the facts and circumstances pertaining to that person’s activities, and the examples mentioned here should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that could cause you to be deemed an underwriter. Dealers who are not “underwriters,” but are participating in a distribution (as opposed to engaging in ordinary secondary market transactions), and thus dealing with Shares as part of an “unsold allotment” within the meaning of Section 4(3)(C) of the Securities Act, will be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(3) of the Securities Act.

A Precautionary Note to Investment Companies. For purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), each Fund is a registered investment company, and the acquisition of its Shares by other investment companies is subject to the restrictions of Section 12(d)(1) thereof. Rule 12d1-4 provides an exemption from these restrictions for registered investment companies seeking to invest in a Fund, subject to certain terms and conditions, including that such registered investment companies enter into an agreement with the Trust. Any investment company considering purchasing Shares of a Fund in amounts that may cause it to exceed the restrictions in Section 12(d)(1) should contact the Trust.

A Precautionary Note Regarding Unusual Circumstances. Under certain circumstances, a Fund may postpone payment of redemption proceeds. For information on such potential postponements, see the “Purchases and Redemptions - Suspension or Postponement of Right of Redemption” section of the SAI.

About Your Investment

Share Price of the Funds

A fund’s share price is known as its NAV. Each Fund’s share price is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (“Valuation Time”), each day the NYSE is open for business (“Business Day”). The NYSE is open for business Monday through Friday, except in observation of the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The NYSE may close early on the business day before each of these holidays and on the day after Thanksgiving Day. NYSE holiday schedules are subject to change without notice. Because a Fund is exchange traded, the price an individual shareholder will buy or sell Fund shares at will be based on the market price determined by the secondary market, which may be higher or lower than the NAV of a Fund.

If the exchange or market on which a Fund’s investments are primarily traded closes early, the NAV may be calculated prior to its normal calculation time. Creation/redemption transaction order time cutoffs would also be accelerated.

The value of a Fund’s assets that trade in markets outside the United States or in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar may fluctuate when foreign markets are open but the Fund is not open for business.

Share price is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by its shares outstanding. Portfolio securities and other assets are valued chiefly by market prices from the primary market in which they are traded. Under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, a market quotation is readily available when that “quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the fund can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable.” Each Fund uses the following methods to price securities or assets held in its portfolio with readily available market quotations:

●

Equity securities listed and traded principally on any domestic or foreign national securities exchange are valued at the last sales price. Exchange-traded funds are valued at the last sales price prior to Valuation Time. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market® are valued using the NASDAQ® Official Closing Price. Over-the counter securities are valued at the last sales price in the over-the-counter market;

●

Futures contracts are valued at (1) the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded if the settlement price reflects trading prior to the Valuation Time, (2) at the last sales price prior to the Valuation Time if the settlement prices established by the exchange reflects trading after Valuation Time, or (3) at the last sales price of the exchange prior to the Valuation Time;

●

Options are valued at the composite price, using National Best Bid and Offer quotes; and

●

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable are valued at fair value estimates as determined by the Adviser pursuant to its fair valuation policies.

Fair Value Pricing. When a market quotation is not readily available or is unreliable, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of the portfolio security or other asset. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board designated the responsibility for fair valuation to the Adviser as its valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”). Fair value determinations are made in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Adviser, which set forth the methodologies by which a portfolio security or other asset will be fair valued. The Adviser may utilize fair valuation services of a pricing service to obtain a fair value for certain portfolio securities or other assets as well.

An investment that relies on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs according to ASC 820, such as swap agreements, is required to be fair valued as such investments do not have readily available market quotations by definition. Swap agreements are valued based on the closing value of the underlying reference instrument. Additionally, the Adviser will fair value a portfolio security or other asset if there is not a readily available market quotation, which may occur in the following situations: (1) to the extent that a Fund holds foreign securities, when foreign markets close before the NYSE opens or may not be open for business on the same calendar days as the Fund; (2) if there has been a significant event in the markets that makes the price of a portfolio security or asset unreliable; (3) if there is a lack of an active market, such as the market for certain preferred securities or for corporate bonds; and (4) if trading in a security is limited during the trading day and a limited number of quotes are available or If trading in a security is halted during a trading day and does not resume prior to the closing of the exchange or other market.

Fair valuation determinations of portfolio securities or other assets introduce an element of subjectivity to pricing of such portfolio securities or other assets. As a result, the price of a security or other asset determined through fair valuation techniques may differ from the price quoted or published by other sources and may not accurately reflect the market value of the security when trading resumes. If a reliable market quotation becomes available for a security formerly valued through fair valuation techniques, the Adviser compares the market quotation to the fair value price to evaluate the effectiveness of the Adviser’s fair valuation procedures.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

Rule 12b-1 Fees

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. In accordance with the Plan, each Fund may pay an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities and shareholder services.

No 12b-1 fees are currently authorized to be paid by a Fund, and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, because the fees are paid out of each Fund’s assets, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than certain other types of sales charges.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions. Rafferty expects a significant portion of a Fund's assets to come from professional money managers and investors who use a Fund as part of “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions. Investors such as market makers, large investors and institutions who wish to deal in Creation Units directly with a Fund must have entered into an authorized participant agreement (“Authorized Participant Agreement”) with the principal underwriter and the transfer agent, or purchase through a broker-dealer that has entered into such an agreement. The Trust’s Board of Trustees has determined not to adopt policies and procedures designed to prevent or monitor for frequent purchases and redemptions of each Fund’s shares because the Fund sells and redeems its shares at NAV only in Creation Units pursuant to the terms of an Authorized Participant Agreement between the Authorized Participant and the Distributor, and such direct trading between the Fund and Authorized Participants is critical to ensuring that the Fund’s shares trade at or close to NAV. Further, the vast majority of trading in Fund shares occurs on the secondary market, which does not involve a Fund directly and therefore does not cause a Fund to experience many of the harmful effects of market timing, such as dilution and disruption of portfolio management. In addition, each Fund imposes a Transaction Fee on Creation Unit transactions, which is designed to offset transfer and other transaction costs incurred by the Fund in connection with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units and may employ fair valuation pricing to minimize potential dilution from market timing. Although each Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase orders, each Fund does not currently impose any trading restrictions on frequent trading or actively monitor for trading abuses. Transaction fees are imposed as set forth in the table in the SAI.

How to Buy and Sell Shares

Each Fund directly issues and redeems Shares only in large blocks (called “Creation Units”) of 25,000 Shares for the Direxion Daily Magnificent 7 Bear 1X ETF and the Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bear 1X ETF and for the remaining Fund, 50,000 Shares and only in transactions with Authorized Participants.

Individual Shares, once listed for trading on the Exchange, can be bought and sold throughout the trading day in the secondary market like other listed securities. Most investors will buy and sell Shares in secondary market transactions through brokers. The Funds do not require any minimum investment in secondary market transactions.

When buying or selling Shares through a broker, investors may incur customary brokerage commissions and charges, and may pay some or all of the “spread” – that is, any difference between the bid price (the highest price a buyer is willing to pay for a share of a fund) and the ask price (the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for a share of a fund). In addition, because secondary market transactions occur at market prices, which typically vary from NAV, investors may pay more than NAV when buying Shares, and receive less than NAV when selling Shares.

Each Fund’s Exchange trading symbol is as follows:

Fund	Symbol
Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X ETF	SPDN
Direxion Daily Magnificent 7 Bear 1X ETF	QQQD
Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bear 1X ETF	REKT

Book Entry. Shares are held in book-entry form, which means that no stock certificates are issued. DTC or its nominee is the record owner of all outstanding Shares of the Funds and is recognized as the record owner of all Shares for all purposes.

Investors owning Shares are beneficial owners as shown on the records of DTC or its participants. Participants in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other institutions that directly or indirectly maintain a custodial relationship with DTC. Beneficial owners of Shares must rely upon the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise any rights as owners of Shares. These procedures are the same as those that apply to any other stocks that held in book entry or “street name” through a brokerage account.

Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X ETF	0.35%
Direxion Daily Magnificent 7 Bear 1X ETF	0.35%
Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bear 1X ETF	0.35%

A discussion regarding the basis on which the Board of Trustees approved the investment advisory agreement for the Funds is included in the Funds' Annual Financial Statements and Additional Information for the period ended October 31, 2025.

Rafferty has entered into an Operating Expense Limitation Agreement with each Fund. Under this Operating Expense Limitation Agreement, Rafferty has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fees and management services fees and/or reimburse each Fund for Other Expenses (excluding, as applicable, among other expenses, taxes, swap financing and related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) through September 1, 2027, to the extent that a Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 0.45% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Any expense waiver or reimbursement is subject to recoupment by the Adviser within three years after the expense was waived/reimbursed only if Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses fall below the lesser of this percentage limitation and any percentage limitation in place at the time the expense was waived/reimbursed. This Agreement may be terminated or revised at any time with the consent of the Board of Trustees.

As a result of the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Adviser received net investment advisory fees as a percentage of average daily net assets from each operational Fund as follows:

Fund	Percentage
Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X ETF	0.29%
Direxion Daily Magnificent 7 Bear 1X ETF	0.00%
Direxion Daily Crypto Industry Bear 1X ETF	0.00%

Paul Brigandi and Tony Ng are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds (the “Portfolio Managers”). An investment trading team of Rafferty employees assists the Portfolio Managers in the day-to-day management of the Funds subject to their primary responsibility and oversight. The Portfolio Managers work with the investment trading team to decide the target allocation of each Fund’s investments and on a day-to-day basis, an individual portfolio trader executes transactions for the Funds consistent with the target allocation. The members of the investment trading team rotate periodically among the various series of the Trust, including the Funds, so that no single individual is assigned to a specific Fund for extended periods of time.

Mr. Brigandi has been a Portfolio Manager at Rafferty since June 2004. Mr. Brigandi was previously involved in the equity trading training program for Fleet Boston Financial Corporation from August 2002 to April 2004. Mr. Brigandi is a 2002 graduate of Fordham University.

Mr. Ng has been a Portfolio Manager at Rafferty since April 2006. Mr. Ng was previously a Team Leader in the Trading Assistant Group with Goldman Sachs from 2004 to 2006. He was employed with Deutsche Asset Management from 1998 to 2004. Mr. Ng graduated from State University of New York at Buffalo in 1998.

The Funds' SAI provides additional information about the investment team members’ compensation, other accounts they manage and their ownership of shares of the Funds.

Portfolio Holdings

A Fund’s portfolio holdings are disclosed on the Fund’s website at www.direxion.com each day the Fund is open for business. A description of the Funds' policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Funds' portfolio securities is available in the Funds' SAI.

ALPS Distributors, Inc. (“Distributor”) serves as the Funds' distributor. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”) serves as the Funds' administrator. Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) serves as the Funds' transfer agent, fund accountant, custodian and index receipt agent. The Distributor is not affiliated with Rafferty, USBFS, or BNYM.

Distributions

Fund Distributions. Each Fund pays out dividends from its net investment income, and distributes any net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders at least annually. Each Fund is authorized to declare and pay capital gain distributions. A Fund may have extremely high portfolio turnover, which may cause it to generate significant amounts of taxable income. Each Fund will generally need to distribute net short-term capital gain to satisfy certain tax requirements. As a result of the Funds' high portfolio turnover, they could need to make larger and/or more frequent distributions than traditional ETFs.

A shareholder that holds shares of the Fund when a Fund pays a distribution will receive the distribution which reflects net investment income and net capital gains the Fund earned prior to the shareholder’s holding period. Because of the significant amount of trading a Fund conducts due to its daily inverse investment objective, a shareholder may receive a large distribution with a significant tax impact even if the shareholder holds the shares for a short period of time.

Dividend Reinvestment Service. Brokers may make the DTC book-entry dividend reinvestment service (“Reinvestment Service”) available to their customers who are shareholders of a Fund. To determine whether the Reinvestment Service is available and whether there is a commission or other charge for using the service, consult your broker. Fund shareholders should be aware that brokers may require them to adhere to specific procedures and timetables to use the Reinvestment Service.

Taxes

As with any investment, you should consider the tax consequences of buying, holding, and disposing of Shares. The tax information in this Prospectus is only a general summary of some important federal tax considerations generally affecting a Fund and its shareholders. No attempt is made to present a complete explanation of the federal tax treatment of the Funds' activities, and this discussion is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential investors are urged to consult their own tax advisers for more detailed information and for information regarding any state, local, or foreign taxes applicable to the Funds and to an investment in Shares.

Fund distributions to you and your sale of your Shares will have tax consequences to you unless you hold your Shares through a tax-exempt entity or tax-deferred retirement arrangement, such as an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or 401(k) plan.

Each Fund intends to qualify, or continue to qualify, each taxable year for taxation as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If a Fund so qualifies and satisfies certain distribution requirements, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax on income that is distributed in a timely manner to its shareholders in the form of income dividends or capital gain distributions.

Taxes on Distributions. Dividends from a Fund’s investment company taxable income – generally, the sum of net investment income, the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss, and net gains and losses from certain foreign currency transactions, if any, all determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid – will be taxable to you as ordinary income to the extent of its earnings and profits, whether they are paid in cash or reinvested in additional Shares. However, dividends a Fund pays to you that are attributable to its “qualified dividend income” (i.e., dividends it receives on stock of most domestic and certain foreign corporations with respect to which it satisfies certain holding period and other restrictions) generally will be taxed to you, if you are an individual, trust, or estate and satisfy those restrictions with respect to your Shares, for federal income tax purposes, at the rates of 15% or 20% for such shareholders with taxable income exceeding certain thresholds (which will be indexed for inflation annually). A portion of a Fund’s dividends also may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations – the eligible portion may not exceed the aggregate dividends the Fund receives from domestic corporations subject to federal income tax (excluding real estate investment trusts) and excludes dividends from foreign corporations – subject to similar restrictions; however, dividends a corporate shareholder deducts pursuant to that deduction are subject indirectly to the federal alternative minimum tax. Each Fund does not expect to earn a significant amount of income that would qualify for those maximum rates or that deduction.

Distributions of a Fund’s net capital gain (which is the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) that it recognizes on sales or exchanges of capital assets (“capital gain distributions”), if any, will be taxable to you as long-term capital gains, at the maximum rates mentioned above if you are an individual, trust, or estate, regardless of your holding period for the Shares on which the distributions are paid and regardless of whether they are paid in cash or reinvested in additional Shares. A Fund’s capital gain distributions may vary considerably from one year to the next as a result of its investment activities and cash flows and the performance of the markets in which it invests. Each Fund does not expect to earn a significant amount of net capital gain.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

Distributions in excess of a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, if any, first will reduce your adjusted tax basis in your Shares in the Fund and, after that basis is reduced to zero, will constitute capital gain. That capital gain will be long-term capital gain, and thus will be taxed at the maximum rates mentioned above if you are an individual, trust, or estate if the distributions are attributable to Shares you held for more than one year.

Investors should be aware that the price of Shares at any time may reflect the amount of a forthcoming dividend or capital gain distribution, so if they purchase Shares shortly before the record date therefor, they will pay full price for the Shares and receive some part of the purchase price back as a taxable distribution even though it represents a partial return of invested capital.

In general, distributions are subject to federal income tax for the year when they are paid. However, certain distributions paid in January may be treated as paid on December 31 of the prior year.

Fund distributions to tax-deferred or qualified plans, such as an IRA, retirement plan or pension plan, generally will not be taxable. However, distributions from such plans will be taxable to the individual participant notwithstanding the character of the income earned by the qualified plan. Please consult a tax adviser for a more complete explanation of the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of investing in a Fund through such a plan.

Taxes When Shares are Sold. Generally, you will recognize taxable gain or loss if you sell or otherwise dispose of your Shares. Any gain arising from such a disposition generally will be treated as long-term capital gain if you held the Shares for more than one year, taxable at the maximum rates (15% or 20%) mentioned above if you are an individual, trust, or estate; otherwise, the gain will be treated as short-term capital gain. However, any capital loss arising from the disposition of Shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of capital gain distributions, if any, received with respect to those Shares. In addition, all or a portion of any loss recognized on a sale or exchange of Shares of a Fund will be disallowed to the extent other Shares of the same Fund are purchased (whether through reinvestment of distributions or otherwise) within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date of the sale or exchange; in that event, the basis in the newly purchased Shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss.

Holders of Creation Units. A person who purchases Shares of a Fund by exchanging securities for a Creation Unit generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the market value of the Creation Unit and the person’s aggregate basis in the exchanged securities, adjusted for any Balancing Amount paid or received. A shareholder who redeems a Creation Unit generally will recognize gain or loss to the same extent and in the same manner as described in the immediately preceding paragraph.

Miscellaneous. Backup Withholding. A Fund must withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury 24% of dividends and capital gain distributions otherwise payable to any individual or certain other non-corporate shareholder who fails to certify that the social security or other taxpayer identification number furnished to the Fund is correct or who furnishes an incorrect number (together with the withholding described in the next sentence, “backup withholding”). Withholding at that rate also is required from a Fund’s dividends and capital gain distributions otherwise payable to such a shareholder who is subject to backup withholding for any other reason. Backup withholding is not an additional tax, and any amounts so withheld may be credited against a shareholder’s federal income tax liability or refunded.

Additional Tax. An individual must pay a 3.8% federal tax on the lesser of (1) the individual’s “net investment income,” which generally includes dividends, interest, and net gains from the disposition of investment property (including dividends and capital gain distributions a Fund pays and net gains realized on the sale or redemption of Shares), or (2) the excess of the individual’s “modified adjusted gross income” over a threshold amount ($250,000 for married persons filing jointly and $200,000 for single taxpayers). This tax is in addition to any other taxes due on that income. A similar tax will apply for those years to estates and trusts. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the effect, if any, this provision may have on their investment in Fund shares.

Basis Determination. A shareholder who wants to use the average basis method for determining basis in Shares he or she acquires after December 31, 2011 (“Covered Shares”), must elect to do so in writing (which may be electronic) with the broker through which he or she purchased the Shares. A shareholder who wishes to use a different IRS-acceptable method for basis determination (e.g., a specific identification method) may elect to do so. Fund shareholders are urged to consult with their brokers regarding the application of the basis determination rules to them.

You may also be subject to state and local taxes on Fund distributions and dispositions of Shares.

Non-U.S. Shareholders. A “non-U.S. shareholder” is an investor that, for federal tax purposes, is a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a foreign estate or trust. Except where discussed otherwise, the following disclosure assumes that a non-U.S. shareholder’s ownership of Shares is not effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by such non-U.S. shareholder in the United States and does not address non-U.S. shareholders who are present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year. The tax consequences to a non-U.S. shareholder entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable tax treaty may be different from those described herein. Non-U.S. shareholders should consult their tax advisers with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in a Fund.

Withholding. Dividends paid by a Fund to non-U.S. shareholders will be subject to withholding tax at a 30% rate or a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty to the extent derived from investment income (other than “qualified interest income” or “qualified short-term capital gains,” as described below). In order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding, a non-U.S. shareholder will be required to provide an IRS Form W-8BEN (or substitute form) certifying its entitlement to benefits under a treaty. The withholding tax does not apply to regular dividends paid to a non-U.S. shareholder who provides an IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the non-U.S. shareholder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. income tax as if the non-U.S. shareholder were a U.S. shareholder. A non-U.S. corporation’s earnings and profits attributable to such dividends may also be subject to additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or lower treaty rate).

Direxion Shares ETF Trust Prospectus

A non-U.S. shareholder who fails to provide an IRS Form W-8BEN or other applicable form may be subject to backup withholding at the appropriate rate. See the discussion of backup withholding under “Miscellaneous” above.

Exemptions from Withholding. In general, federal income tax will not apply to gain realized on the sale or other disposition of Shares or to any Fund distributions reported as capital gain dividends, short-term capital gain dividends, or interest-related dividends.

“Short-term capital gain dividends” are dividends that are attributable to “qualified short-term gain” a Fund realizes (generally, the excess of a Fund’s net short-term capital gain over long-term capital loss for a taxable year, computed with certain adjustments). “Interest-related dividends” are dividends that are attributable to “qualified net interest income” from U.S. sources. Depending on its circumstances, a Fund may report all, some or none of its potentially eligible dividends as short-term capital gain dividends and interest-related dividends and/or treat such dividends, in whole or in part, as ineligible for this exemption from withholding. To qualify for the exemption, a non-U.S. shareholder will need to comply with applicable certification requirements relating to its non-U.S. status (including, in general, furnishing an IRS Form W-8BEN or substitute form). In the case of shares held through an intermediary, the intermediary may withhold even if a Fund designates the payment as a short-term capital gain dividend or an interest-related dividend. Non-U.S. shareholders should contact their intermediaries with respect to the application of these rules to their accounts.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”). Under FATCA, “foreign financial institutions” (“FFIs”) or “non-financial foreign entities” (“NFFEs”) that are Fund shareholders may be subject to a generally nonrefundable 30% withholding tax on income dividends. As discussed more fully in the Funds' SAI under “Taxes,” the FATCA withholding tax generally can be avoided (a) by an FFI, if it reports certain information regarding direct and indirect ownership of financial accounts U.S. persons hold with the FFI and (b) by an NFFE, if it certifies as such and, in certain circumstances, that (i) it has no substantial U.S. persons as owners or (ii) it does have such owners and reports information relating to them to the withholding agent. The U.S. Treasury has negotiated intergovernmental agreements (“IGAs”) with certain countries and is in various stages of negotiations with other foreign countries with respect to one or more alternative approaches to implement FATCA; entities in those countries may be required to comply with the terms of the IGA instead of Treasury regulations. Non-U.S. shareholders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the application of these requirements to their own situation and the impact thereof on their investment in a Fund.

More information about taxes is available in the Funds' SAI.

Additional Information ABOUT THE TRUST

The Trust enters into contractual arrangements with various parties, which may include, among others, the Funds' investment adviser, custodian, and transfer agent, who provide services to the Funds. Shareholders are not parties to any such contractual arrangements and are not intended beneficiaries of those contractual arrangements, and those contractual arrangements are not intended to create in any shareholder any right to enforce them against the service providers or to seek any remedy under them against the service providers, either directly or on behalf of the Trust.

This Prospectus provides information concerning the Funds that you should consider in determining whether to purchase Fund shares.

Many states have unclaimed property rules that provide for transfer to the state (also known as “escheatment”) of unclaimed property under various circumstances. These circumstances include inactivity (e.g., no owner-initiated contact for a certain period), returned mail (e.g., when mail sent to a shareholder is returned by the post office as undeliverable), or a combination of both inactivity and returned mail. Unclaimed or inactive accounts may be subject to escheatment laws, and the Funds and the Funds' transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders and their representatives for good faith compliance with those laws.

Net investment income (loss) per share represents net investment income divided by the daily average shares of beneficial interest outstanding throughout each period.

Excludes interest expense and extraordinary expenses which comprise of tax and litigation expenses.

Due to the timing of sales and redemptions of capital shares, the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share will not equal the Fund's changes in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments, in-kind redemptions, futures and swaps for the period.

Total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period and redemption on the last day of the period. Total return calculated for a period of less than one year is not annualized. The total return would have been lower if certain expenses had not been reimbursed/waived or recouped by the investment advisor.

For periods less than a year, these ratios are annualized.

Net expenses include effects of any reimbursement/waiver or recoupment.

Portfolio turnover rate is not annualized and excludes the value of portfolio securities received or delivered as a result of in-kind creations or redemptions of the Fund's capital shares. Portfolio turnover rate does not include effects of turnover of the swap and future contracts portfolio. Short-term securities with maturities less than or equal to 365 days are also excluded from portfolio turnover calculation.
