COYY Collar Strategy
COYY (GraniteShares YieldBOOST COIN ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management industry), listed on NASDAQ.
The Fund’s primary investment objective is to achieve 2 times (200%) the income generated from selling options on Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ COIN) (the “Underlying Stock”) by selling options on leveraged exchange-traded funds designed to deliver 2 times (200%) the daily performance of the Underlying Stock (the “Underlying Leveraged ETF”). The Fund’s secondary investment objective is to gain exposure to the performance of the Underlying Leveraged ETF, subject to a cap on potential investment gains. A downside protection may be implemented which could affect the net income level.
COYY (GraniteShares YieldBOOST COIN ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management, with a market capitalization of approximately $35.7M, a beta of 0.32 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 3.69-27.17, average daily share volume of 215K, a public-listing history dating back to 2025. These structural characteristics shape how COYY etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.32 indicates COYY has historically moved less than the broader market, dampening realized volatility and producing tighter expected-move bands per unit of dollar exposure. COYY pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.

A collar pairs long stock with a protective out-of-the-money put financed by a short out-of-the-money call, capping both tails of the position around the current spot.
Current COYY snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $3.77, ATM IV 93.70%, expected move 26.86%. The collar on COYY below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on COYY specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for COYY is inferred from ATM IV at 93.70% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 26.86% (roughly $1.01 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated COYY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on COYY should anchor to the underlying notional of $3.77 per share and to the trader's directional view on COYY etf.
COYY collar setup
The COYY collar below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With COYY near $3.77, the first option leg uses a $3.96 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed COYY chain at a 34-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 COYY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|

| Buy 1 | Put | $3.58 | N/A |

COYY thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for COYY extends from approximately $2.76 on the downside to $4.78 on the upside. A COYY collar hedges an existing long COYY position with a protective put while financing the put cost via a short call; when the premiums roughly offset, the collar acts as a near-zero-cost insurance band around the current spot. As a Financial Services name, COYY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to COYY-specific events.
COYY collar positions are structurally neutral (protective); the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. COYY positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move COYY alongside the broader basket even when COYY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current COYY chain quotes before placing a trade.
