YieldMax Applies For Bitcoin Options Income Strategy ETF With US SEC

With the robust reception of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States, there is a growing exploration of innovative product offerings. YieldMax has submitted an application to the U.S. SEC for the introduction of an ETF named YBIT, which incorporates a Bitcoin options income strategy. The ETF is slated to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, expected around April 10, 2024.

YieldMax Submits Application to U.S. SEC for Innovative ETF Strategy

In its application submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, YieldMax proposed that the fund aims to generate current income while offering indirect exposure to the price returns of selected U.S.-listed exchange-traded products (ETPs) seeking exposure to Bitcoin, the popular cryptocurrency.

The ETF, referred to as “The Fund,” operates within the framework of a synthetic covered call strategy. This strategy is strategically designed to not only provide income but also offer indirect exposure to the share price returns of one or more underlying ETPs associated with BTC. Notably, the options strategy implemented by the Fund comes with a cap on potential investment gains.

This ETF employs a synthetic covered call strategy derived from other spot Bitcoin ETFs. Its objectives include generating current income and providing exposure to the performance of TBD spot Bitcoin ETFs. Additionally, the strategy aims to enhance returns during periods of heightened volatility in the underlying assets.

Crucially, it’s highlighted that The Fund will not engage in direct investment in Bitcoin or any other digital assets. Furthermore, it avoids direct investments in derivatives tracking the performance of Bitcoin or other digital assets. The Fund explicitly steers clear of seeking exposure to the current “spot” or cash price of Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin ETF Market Remains Hot

After nearly 20 days of launch the spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in the market continue to see strong inflows. In the latest development, US financial giant Charles Schwab is reportedly looking for an entry into the Bitcoin ETF market.

Interestingly, other market players are also aligning with these developments. As per reports, Google will start allowing advertisements for the spot BTC ETF on its search platform, by the month’s end.
