Max profit roughly equals short-call strike minus cost basis plus net premium; max loss roughly equals cost basis minus long-put strike minus net premium. Breakeven shifts by the net premium. For the YETH collar priced from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 35.10%), the computed maximum profit is $50.00 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$50.00 per contract.

What is the breakeven for a YETH collar?

The breakeven for the YETH collar priced on this page is roughly $8.50 at expiration, derived from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain's premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The YETH market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move in the same options snapshot is approximately 10.06%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

How does current YETH implied volatility affect this collar?

The Roundhill Ether Covered Call Strategy ETF, identified by its ticker YETH, is structured to provide investors with a way to gain exposure to Ether, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain. However, this participation includes an inherent limit on potential gains. A core objective of the fund, in addition to offering access to the digital asset, is to generate potential income for its holders. YETH is an actively managed investment vehicle, meaning its strategy and portfolio are regularly adjusted by its managers.

YETH (Roundhill Investments - Ether Covered Call Strategy ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management - Cryptocurrency, with a market capitalization of approximately $53.0M, a beta of 1.26 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 7.63-31.78, average daily share volume of 82K, a public-listing history dating back to 2024. These structural characteristics shape how YETH etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

A beta of 1.26 places YETH roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline. YETH pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.

YETH snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $8.81, ATM IV 35.10%, IV rank 4.22%, expected move 10.06%. The collar on YETH 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 YETH specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed YETH IV at 35.10% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.06% (roughly $0.89 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 YETH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on YETH should anchor to the underlying notional of $8.81 per share and to the trader's directional view on YETH etf.

YETH collar setup

The YETH 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 YETH at $8.81 on that close, the first option leg uses a $9.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed YETH 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 YETH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 100 shares	Stock	$8.81	long
Sell 1	Call	$9.00	$0.65
Buy 1	Put	$8.00	$0.34

When traders use collar on YETH

Collars on YETH hedge an existing long YETH etf position; the long put sets a floor while the short call finances it, often run as a near-zero-cost hedge during expected volatility windows.

YETH thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for YETH extends from approximately $7.92 on the downside to $9.70 on the upside. A YETH collar hedges an existing long YETH 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 YETH IV rank near 4.22% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on YETH at 35.10%. As a Financial Services name, YETH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to YETH-specific events.

YETH 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. YETH positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move YETH alongside the broader basket even when YETH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current YETH chain quotes before placing a trade.
