Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency behind only Bitcoin, still has a lot of work to do to reclaim prior highs, but there are signs of life in the Ether realm.
That could prompt income-enthused crypto investors to consider unique Ether approaches, including the NEOS Ethereum High Income ETF (NEHI). NEHI, which debuted last December, is a pioneer in the Ether ETF income space.
Leveraging NEOS’s established capabilities in the options income arena, NEHI delivers income to investors by writing or selling call options on standard Ether ETFs. Carrying a 30-day SEC yield of 1.67% and a distribution rate of 32.54%, the strategy is proving to be a recipe for income success It also confirms that it is indeed possible for investors to be involved with Ether while generating tidy income in the process.
NEHI Worth Examining Today
NEHI’s income proposition may be appealing to Ether investors at a time of indecision in the Ether market or as some traders opt to lock in recently accumulated profits.
“Traders who bought aggressively during those weaker conditions are still holding strong unrealized gains even after the current mid-May correction. As a result, some of those wallets are now choosing to secure profits while market conditions remain relatively favorable,” reported NewsBTC.
Looking further out, there are expanding uses for Ether and that could bode well for NEHI as a long-term holding for cryptocurrency investors. For example, JPMorgan recently announced plans for a second tokenized money market fund that will transact on the Ethereum blockchain.
In others pertaining to broadening Ether access, Charles Schwab recently rolled out spot Bitcoin and Ether trading to its clients. This signals that another reputable, well-known brokerage firm sees opportunity in select major cryptocurrencies.
Breaking the $2,400 Barrier
Those are interesting superlatives, but for investors mulling NEHI as an avenue for income and some potential upside participation in Ether prices, the primary near-term consideration is the digital currency’s ability to break through the $2,400 area.
“The $2,400 level is the price where sellers have shown up repeatedly since March, and it aligns with three separate technical signals at the same time. On-chain analysis identified the $2,450 to $2,456 zone as the watershed between bullish and bearish positioning for ETH. Every time ETH has approached $2,400 in recent months, sellers have stepped in and pushed it back down,” reported Sam Daodu for 24/7 Wall Street.
Some crypto market observers believe that it would be encouraging to see Ether reclaim $2,400 before the end of this month — a move that could benefit NEHI and potentially set up a clean break to $2,500, $2,600 and beyond.
