Options tied to Hashdex's crypto ETF that holds BTC, ETH, XRP and other tokens debut on Nasdaq
Hashdex’s diversified crypto ETF (NCIQ) now has options available on Nasdaq, enabling hedging, income generation, and risk management.Summary
Hashdex’s diversified crypto ETF, NCIQ, now offers options trading on Nasdaq, providing investors with tools to hedge risk, generate income, and manage exposure to a broad basket of digital assets beyond just Bitcoin and Ether. The ETF, which debuted in February 2025 and holds assets like Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and others, previously lacked these risk management features. The launch of options addresses a key barrier for institutional investors who require hedging capabilities before allocating capital. This development also paves the way for more sophisticated financial products like capital-protected crypto notes and defined-outcome ETFs. The crypto options market has experienced significant growth, and ETF options, particularly those tied to BlackRock’s bitcoin ETF, are rapidly catching up in trading volume.
