The hottest ETF trend of 2023 has appeared in the crypto market
A popular 2023 crypto strategy in the $8 trillion exchange-traded fund industry is hitting the market—the Roundhill Bitcoin Covered Call Strategy ETF began trading this week under the ticker symbol YBTC, Bloomberg writes.
The actively managed fund tracks the performance of the largest cryptocurrency, BTC, through the futures-backed ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (NYSE:BITO) (BITO), on which it will also write covered call options, which will provide additional income in exchange for giving up some of the potential risk of BTC, at the risk of degrading the performance of the cryptocurrency itself.
Covered call strategies were popularized by the explosion of the $31 billion JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI), which invests in low-volatility stocks.
The fund became the largest actively managed ETF last year amid concerns over the Fed's high interest rates as investors turned their attention to the fund's robust payout.
