Our read on BLOX

ETF.net Research

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.

Why people hold it

  • Actively managed across crypto-industry equities, underlying crypto funds and options, so the manager can shift the mix rather than ride a single futures curve.
  • Income is written into the mandate, not bolted on: options premium feeds monthly distributions, with capital appreciation still the stated primary objective.
  • Built as a 1940 Act registered fund holding equities and options, the same rulebook as a plain vanilla stock ETF rather than a commodity trust structure.

Worth knowing

  • Launched in 2025, so the record is short and risk measures rest on roughly a single year of trading.
  • At 0.99% a year, it sits at the pricier end of the bitcoin-derivatives shelf, which is the cost of an active options overlay.
  • Crypto-industry stocks plus written options do not move like bitcoin itself, and selling options trades away part of a sharp rally for premium today.
