NEOS Ethereum High Income ETF offers call option income amid Ethereum weakness

The fund, NEHI, lists a 30-day SEC yield of 1.5% as Ethereum trades after dropping more than a third in 2026.

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has shed more than a third of its value this year, reflecting broader stress across the crypto market in 2026, according to ETF Trends. Some observers point to support around $1,600 and argue the asset could be positioned for an upside move in the near term.

ETF Trends says investors looking for ethereum exposure while earning income may consider the NEOS Ethereum High Income ETF, NEHI. The article cites a 30-day SEC yield of 1.5% for NEHI, describing the yield as unusually high within the cryptocurrency ETF category.

The coverage also outlines NEHI's approach, saying the fund writes call options on a basic spot ethereum ETF. ETF Trends links that strategy to the fund's stated income while still providing some potential for upside participation if ethereum rallies.

ETF Trends adds that Coinpedia reported ethereum broke above an MVRV 0.8 pricing band at $1,800 in early August, and that clearing the threshold historically has pushed ethereum toward or above its realized price, which the article says is currently $2,245. The piece also notes $1,900 as a key round-number resistance level, with $2,000 next if ethereum clears and holds above $1,900.
