ETF Concepts
Two ETF expressions of the degenerate economy
We are designing ETF concepts that translate the Degenerate Economy Index™ into accessible exposures. The index is thematic and actively governed, with rules that can add the latest meme-driven, high‑velocity names when warranted. The core ETF targets pure index tracking, while the income ETF adds an options premium overlay for yield.
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.
Degenerate Economy ETF™
A rules-based ETF concept designed to track DEGENCOM™ with transparent exposure to the platforms, exchanges, and infrastructure that monetize speculative participation.
Pre-launch concept subject to regulatory review and partner approvals.
Degenerate Economy Income ETF™
A high-income concept that seeks to generate option premium by writing calls on the index holdings while maintaining exposure to the underlying degenerate economy theme.
Conceptual design only. Options strategies involve risk and may cap upside.
ETF Comparison
Core vs. Income Focus
Both ETF concepts track the degenerate economy theme. The core ETF focuses on index tracking, while the income ETF adds a covered-call overlay for option premium potential.
| Feature | Core ETF | Income ETF |
|---|---|---|
| Objective | Track DEGENCOM™ | Option premium income + DEGENCOM™ exposure |
| Strategy | Index tracking | Covered-call overlay |
| Distributions | TBD | Monthly (concept) |
| Risk | Market + theme risk | Market + options overlay risk |
| Status | Pre-launch | Pre-launch |
Core ETF
A pure index-tracking expression of the degenerate economy.
The core Degenerate Economy ETF™ is designed to deliver transparent, rules-based exposure to DEGENCOM™. It focuses on the infrastructure of speculation rather than one-off memes, combining liquidity screens with a disciplined rebalance schedule.
Pre-launch concept subject to regulatory review, issuer partnerships, and service provider support.
Income Overlay
Options premium strategy aligned with the index.
The income ETF concept follows a covered-call style overlay. It aims to collect option premiums by writing calls on the index holdings, while keeping exposure to the degenerate economy theme.
This is a concept-level description and not an offer or solicitation.
