Key takeaways

  • Two Defiance long/short ETFs are now cleared to launch, after the trust filed under the rule that makes paper effective on filing.
  • Both funds pair a growth theme against an older industry: space economy versus legacy communications, and AI compute versus legacy software.
  • Each fund charges a 0.75% unitary management fee, with the adviser covering the rest.
  • The filing answers SEC staff comments; it is not a listing notice and does not start trading.

Tidal Trust V put Post-Effective Amendment No. 60 in front of the SEC on Tuesday, and the trust checked the box that makes the paper effective immediately under Rule 485(b). The explanatory note says the filing answers staff comments on two new series and makes other changes the rule allows.

The prospectus, dated Tuesday, September 15, 2026, covers the Defiance Long/Short Space Economy vs. Legacy Communications ETF LSSE and the Defiance Long/Short AI Compute vs. Legacy Software ETF LSCM. Both are named as listings on Cboe BZX Exchange. Tidal Investments LLC is the adviser. Foreside Fund Services, LLC is the distributor.

Each series pays the adviser a unitary management fee of 0.75% a year, calculated daily and paid monthly. The filing shows no financial highlights. The funds have not completed an initial fiscal period.

The two series first appeared in a July 2 registration. Tuesday’s amendment is the staff-comment response that makes that registration effective. It is not a listing notice, and it does not start trading.
