November & December, so far, have been rough for crypto investors.
Bitcoin (BTC-USD) slid sharply from its highs, dragging down AI- and crypto-exposed stocks with it. While I don’t currently own any crypto, it’s been on my radar for a future all-income portfolio. And one standout I’ve been eyeing is the Nicholas Crypto Income ETF (BLOX).
Unlike traditional covered-call ETFs that prioritize income at the expense of upside, BLOX uses a growth-first, income-second strategy. After the recent pullback, now may be an attractive entry point for long-term income investors bullish on crypto.
Why BLOX Is Different ⛓️
Most covered-call ETFs cap upside to maximize income. BLOX does the opposite.
Key features:
Growth-focused holdings include: Nvidia (NVDA), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd (TSM), Coinbase Global Inc (COIN), Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD)
Exposure to BTC-USD & Ethereum (ETH-USD) through ETFs: iShares Ethereum Trust EFT (ETHA), VanEck Bitcoin (HODL), & Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC)
Weekly income generated from call spreads, covered calls, and put selling
Most payouts are return of capital (ROC), making it tax-friendly 👍🏾
Even with a short track record after launching in June 2025, NAV performance has been strong:
1-month NAV: +16.95%
3-month NAV: +25.48%
This far exceeds the NAV performance of its peer, YieldMax Crypto Industry & Tech Port Opt Inc ETF (LFGY), which has lost roughly 30% since inception in January 2025.
What’s the Draw Today? 🃏
Crypto and AI stocks were hit hard in November. While sentiment is negative, the declines appear more like a reset after a massive run rather than a fundamental shift.
For long-term investors, this creates opportunity. 💡
BLOX’s combination of:
Growth potential
Weekly income
Tax-efficient ROC distributions
All this makes it appealing for income-focused investors who still want upside exposure.
Risks to Consider ⚠️
BLOX is higher risk than traditional income ETFs because:
Crypto is highly volatile
Prolonged downturns can force the fund to pay from NAV, leading to NAV erosion
High expense ratio (1.03%)
Investors should be prepared for sharp swings & potential income variability in bear markets.
Bottom Line ✅
BLOX’s early results suggest its growth-first approach may outperform higher-yield options over time. While recent volatility has pressured its share price, the ETF’s strategy and weekly income make it worth considering. Especially, if you believe in the long-term growth of crypto and related technologies.
For bullish, income-focused investors, Nicholas Crypto Income ETF (BLOX) could be a compelling addition to any portfolio.
