UXRP snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $8.89, ATM IV 104.70%, IV rank 40.22%, expected move 30.02%. The collar on UXRP below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on UXRP specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range UXRP IV at 104.70% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 30.02% (roughly $2.67 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated UXRP expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on UXRP should anchor to the underlying notional of $8.89 per share and to the trader's directional view on UXRP etf.
UXRP collar setup
The UXRP collar below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With UXRP at $8.89 on that close, the first option leg uses a $9.33 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed UXRP chain at a 35-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 UXRP shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

UXRP thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for UXRP extends from approximately $6.22 on the downside to $11.56 on the upside. A UXRP collar hedges an existing long UXRP 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. Current UXRP IV rank near 40.22% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on UXRP should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, UXRP options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to UXRP-specific events.
UXRP 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. UXRP positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move UXRP alongside the broader basket even when UXRP-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current UXRP chain quotes before placing a trade.
