State Street Rebrands 3 UIT ETFs SPY, MDY, DIA From SPDR; Analyst Flags Possible Open-End Conversion Vote Like QQQ

According to @EricBalchunas, State Street is removing SPDR and adding State Street to the official names of its three veteran unit investment trust ETFs SPY, MDY, and DIA, as shown in a filing image he shared (source: @EricBalchunas on X, Jan 14, 2026).
