xETFs has launched its first two ETFs, entering the increasingly crowded single-stock income ETF market with a structure designed to balance equity upside participation and recurring income generation. The new funds — xETFs NVDA Daily Income ETF (NYSE:NYYY) and xETFs TSLA Daily Income ETF (NYSE:TYYY) — use systematic daily covered call strategies tied to shares of Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Tesla, Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA).
The launch comes as investor demand for high-income option-based ETFs continues to accelerate, particularly around volatile mega-cap technology names linked to AI and electric vehicles. Unlike many existing covered-call single-stock products that cap upside participation more aggressively, xETFs said its Daily Income suite aims to preserve a larger share of equity returns while still generating income through daily call-option writing.
"For investors interested in maintaining exposure to the return of these iconic stocks while also accessing potentially significant ongoing income, NYYY and TYYY are two very compelling additions to the ETF landscape," said Johnny Wu, co-founder and CEO of xETFs.
