Despite listings on platforms showing price quotes into 2025, no evidence indicates a relaunch or revival, reflecting ongoing portfolio rationalization by Global X amid industry trends of ETF closures. Recent Global X developments include the acquisition of ETF Securities with Mirae Asset in 2025 and new product launches like the EURO STOXX 50 Covered Call UCITS ETF.
