Grayscale: The covered call strategy on Zcash has an implied annualized yield of around 70%, but carries higher risk than Bitcoin.

46 minutes ago

Grayscale Research Head Zach Pandl noted that as Bitcoin matures, its price volatility has declined significantly. Bitcoin’s realized annualized volatility stood at roughly 125% in its early years, while averaging just 40% over the past year—near the level of the U.S. "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks. By comparison, Zcash has a market capitalization of only about 1% of Bitcoin’s, with an average price volatility of around 140% over the past year. Based on current volatility calculations, a covered call option strategy for Zcash would yield an implied annualized return of roughly 70% from premium income, versus about 30% for the same strategy applied to Bitcoin. Pandl cautioned that higher potential returns come hand in hand with greater risks: if the spot price falls more than the premium received, the covered call strategy will still result in principal losses. Investors seeking a clear risk-reward profile may consider going long on call or put options.

Trump’s energy stock holdings are estimated to have risen in value by $1.5 million to $4.4 million during the Iran war period.

According to CNBC, U.S. President Donald Trump’s disclosed holdings in nine of the largest oil and gas companies are estimated to have gained between $1.5 million and $4.4 million in value between February 27 and August 31, the period on the eve of the outbreak of war with Iran. The holdings include ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, and several refining and pipeline firms. Trump’s investment account continued trading energy stocks during the conflict. As of June 29, the account reported at least 23 sales of related stocks. On the first trading day after the March 2 U.S.-Israeli first strike on Iran, the account purchased stocks in eight oil and gas firms, including $100,000 to $250,000 worth of ExxonMobil shares. On March 23, Trump delayed strikes on Iranian energy facilities before market opening; Brent crude fell nearly 11% that day, and his account reported 16 purchases of oil and gas stocks totaling roughly $163,000 to $570,000. On April 7, the account sold $500,000 to $1 million worth of ExxonMobil shares; roughly two and a half hours later, Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran, and the stock opened more than 6% lower the next day. Since disclosure documents do not provide exact share counts, transaction prices, or sale batches, the above estimates do not represent actual realized profits or current precise holdings. CNBC also found no evidence that Trump directed the trades, had advance knowledge of relevant decisions, or used personal interests to influence policy. The White House stated that the investment portfolio is managed entirely by independent administrators.

Robinhood CEO Responds to AMC's Criticism: Publicly Listed Companies Cannot Control Financial Products Created Around Their Stocks

According to CNBC, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev responded to AMC CEO Adam Aron’s criticism of the firm’s stock token business, stating that after a company goes public, its shares become transferable property, and other financial institutions should be able to create financial products referencing those shares without obtaining the issuer’s permission. Tenev noted that public companies have the right to control their own stock issuance rights and obligations, but cannot prevent other firms from issuing securities that reference their stocks. Robinhood’s stock tokens are issued by independent entities and backed by underlying stocks, so they should not automatically require the public company’s consent. Tenev also acknowledged that stock token holders do not hold voting rights in the underlying company, as these tokens are designed as debt securities backed by the underlying stocks. When asked how Robinhood will exercise the voting rights attached to the underlying stocks, he said the company has not yet announced relevant plans.
