Hashdex’s Diversified Crypto ETF Adds Options For Hedging, Income Generation

For over a year, trading Hashdex’s diversified crypto ETF was like riding an amusement park without seatbelts. Investors could speculate, but if the market fell, there was little protection. That’s now changed.

Options on the Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF (NCIQ) went live on Nasdaq on Monday, providing investors a way to hedge, generate income and manage risk on a product that offers diversified crypto exposure, not just bitcoin or ether, for the first time.

NCIQ, which debuted in February 2025, provides exposure to a broad, market-cap-weighted basket of digital assets based on the Nasdaq CME Crypto Index (NCI).

As of Monday, it held bitcoin, ether, XRP (XRP), solana (SOL), Chainlink and Stellar (XLM) along with the U.S. dollar and other assets. The fund has nearly $100 million in assets under management.
