Our read on BLOX
In short
Most bitcoin derivative funds pick one lane: leverage, shorting, or a futures wrapper. BLOX buys the crypto industry's stocks and funds instead, then writes options against them for monthly income while keeping some upside in play.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks capital appreciation as its primary objective and current income as its secondary objective. It is actively managed and uses crypto-industry equities, related options, underlying crypto funds, and options strategies intended to generate income while retaining some upside potential.
