๐ BlackRock is launching a new Bitcoin-linked income ETF designed to combine BTC exposure + yield generation by using options strategies on its existing IBIT fund
๐ฐ The fund generates cash flow by selling call options on Bitcoin ETF holdings, earning premiums that are distributed to investors as income
๐ Trade-off: investors receive regular income but sacrifice some upside if Bitcoin price rallies strongly due to capped gains
โ๏ธ Strategy involves covering roughly 25%โ35% of holdings with monthly call options to balance yield and BTC exposure
๐ The ETF is part of BlackRockโs broader push to expand crypto products beyond spot Bitcoin exposure into income-generating structured ETFs
