One of the biggest storylines for the investing world and cryptocurrency sector in years was the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, which happened recently with the SEC giving the green light to 11 ETFs.
A new Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC)-themed ETF from Roundhill Investments offers a new way to trade the cryptocurrency.
What Happened: Roundhill Investments launched the Roundhill Bitcoin Covered Call Strategy ETF (BATS:YBTC), a new ETF that follows the covered call strategy utilized by investors.
“Roundhill Investments launched the Roundhill Bitcoin Covered Call Strategy ETF, which is the first covered call Bitcoin ETF listed in the U.S. It aims to generate monthly income through selling call options on Bitcoin ETFs, while subject to a monthly upside cap,” Roundhill Investments Chief Strategy Officer Dave Mazza told Benzinga.
Unlike the other Bitcoin ETFs, the Roundhill Bitcoin Covered Call Strategy ETF does not hold Bitcoin directly. Instead, the ETF offers the covered call strategy, while having exposure to Bitcoin.
“This structure offers a blend of income potential and Bitcoin exposure, which is distinctive in the market.”

“The ETF targets investors looking for a mix of Bitcoin exposure and income generation. By using a covered call strategy, it appeals to those interested in the potential high income from Bitcoin’s volatility, without the need for direct investment in the cryptocurrency.”
Mazza said covered calls are an important strategy as it gives investors a way to generate income from investments.
“This strategy can be particularly effective in volatile assets like Bitcoin, where price swings can provide opportunities for income generation through options premiums.”
