iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF by BlackRock Set to List on Nasdaq
ETF Filing: Nasdaq has submitted a proposal to the SEC to list the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, which aims to generate income through covered call strategies while holding Bitcoin and other assets.
Income Generation Focus: Unlike the existing iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), this new ETF is designed to provide yield through covered call strategies, balancing direct Bitcoin exposure with option-based income generation.
Regulatory Review: The SEC is currently reviewing the proposal and seeking public comments, with the ETF expected to comply with listing standards effective from the first quarter of 2026.
Market Context: Bitcoin is trading above $114,000, and while it remains stable, other cryptocurrencies are facing selling pressure, which may influence investor interest in the new income-focused ETF.
