The Roundhill Bitcoin Covered Call Strategy ETF, YBTC, attracted fresh capital on January 22, 2026, pulling in $856,410 in net inflows. The move represents roughly 0.40% of its latest reported assets under management, which stand at $214.15 million, a notable show of investor interest given Bitcoin’s recent volatility.
YBTC is designed to monetize Bitcoin’s price swings through a covered call strategy, offering investors a way to seek income in a market that has been trending lower. The latest inflow suggests that some market participants are leaning into option-based yield strategies as a way to stay exposed to crypto while cushioning downside risk.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $89,437, down roughly 21.5% over the past three months. Despite that drawdown, tactical flows into YBTC hint that investors may see opportunity in harvesting option premiums while spot prices remain under pressure. Technically, Bitcoin’s short-term outlook remains cautious, with a 1-day signal of Sell, underscoring the tension between deteriorating momentum and steady demand for structured exposure.
