YieldMax Debut ETF $FIAT to Short Coinbase’s Stock $COIN

As a seasoned crypto investor with a background in options trading, I’m intrigued by YieldMax’s new Short COIN Option Income Strategy ETF ($FIAT). With my experience in the market and understanding the potential risks and rewards of options strategies, I appreciate the innovative approach to generating income through a bearish bet on Coinbase Global (COIN).


Financial firm YieldMax has launched a new Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) on NYSE Arca, named the Short Coinbase Stock Income Strategy ETF, with the ticker symbol “FIAT.” This investment vehicle offers investors the opposite return to Coinbase Global’s stock (symbol: COIN). It achieves this through a synthetic covered put strategy, which aims to generate income regardless of the stock’s performance.

Starting tomorrow, July 10th, the YieldMax™ Short COIN Option Income Strategy ETF named $FIAT will be launched. This fund offers short exposure to Coinbase and intends to produce regular income through a covered put selling strategy on Coinbase’s stock ($COIN).

As an analyst, I would explain it this way: I use exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a tool to manage risk in my portfolio. Specifically, these ETFs employ derivatives like options for Coinbase stock and selling call options. This derivative strategy reflects my bearish stance on COIN, allowing me to potentially profit from potential declines in the value of Coinbase Company’s stock.

The fund earns extra income by purchasing short-term put options with prices just beneath the current market value of COIN’s stock. If COIN’s stock experiences a significant decline in price, this strategy allows the fund to profit from the situation.

Additionally, Coinbase’s shares have demonstrated robust growth, rising by 43% annually and surpassing numerous other stocks in their performance during market instability. The newly proposed ETF intends to profit from market dips, although its potential gains from severe declines will be restricted due to the utilization of an options strategy.

In clear and natural language: The fund’s prospectus clearly indicates that it limits the impact of significant declines in COIN stock on the fund.
