Income ETF
Degenerate Economy Income ETF™ (options premium concept)
A high-income ETF concept that seeks to generate option premium by writing covered calls on DEGENCOM™ holdings while maintaining exposure to the underlying degenerate economy theme.
The index base is derived by setting Bitcoin to 1 BTC at the Oct 4, 2024 close and scaling the total by its index weight; all other holdings are sized from that base according to their index weights.
Our mission is to democratize finance by building ETF access for everyone, subject to regulatory approval and partner support.
