Amplify ETFs has introduced the Amplify XRP 3% Monthly Premium Income ETF (XRPM), the first fund based on XRP. This new product expands Amplifyās YieldSmart ETF lineup, focusing on options strategies to generate income. The fund seeks to provide a steady income stream while capturing limited upside potential from XRPās price movements.
XRPM ETF Targets 36% Annualized Option Premium
The XRPM ETF targets an annualized option premium of 36%, aiming for 3% per month. The fund uses an actively managed covered call strategy to collect premiums. It seeks to balance high income with partial upside from XRPās price fluctuations.
The ETF divides its portfolio into two main parts. The first part is the covered call portion, which comprises 30%-60% of the total portfolio. The second part is the long-only segment, which holds the remaining percentage and allows for greater upside potential.
On the covered call side, the fund writes weekly out-of-the-money call options. This strategy aims to generate income by capturing a premium while allowing some price appreciation within the strike range. The long-only portion ensures the ETF captures larger gains if XRP rises sharply.
Using weekly contracts instead of monthly options increases the number of premium-collection opportunities. This strategy allows XRPM to target more frequent income streams, improving its potential for higher returns. The ETFās approach aims to offer a unique way to capitalize on XRPās price movements.
Amplify XRP ETF Targets Growing Market in Digital Assets
XRP has seen growing adoption and is currently the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. The digital asset serves as the native currency of the XRP Ledger, a global payments network. XRPās use extends beyond payments into tokenized assets and decentralized finance applications.
Amplify’s CEO, Christian Magoon, expressed excitement about the launch.
“With XRPM, investors gain access to an innovative approach that combines high option premium income with weekly upside,” he said.
The new fund aims to offer a unique way to access XRPās potential growth while benefiting from regular income.
XRPM does not invest directly in XRP. Instead, the fund’s returns are tied to option strategies based on XRPās price exposure. The ETF targets steady income generation through the covered call strategy while capturing XRPās price dynamics.
Amplify ETFs has partnered with Kelly Strategic Management LLC and Penserra Capital Management LLC as sub-advisers. These firms will help manage XRPMās complex investment strategy. The ETFās investment strategy may adjust depending on market conditions, with premium targets reflecting these changes.
