Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSE:BMNR) has made headlines with its audacious bet on Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH). Under Chairman Tom Lee, the company has made acquiring, holding, and staking 5% of the total Ethereum supply its core treasury strategy — what Lee calls the “Alchemy of 5%.” The goal is straightforward: amass roughly 6 million ETH, stake it aggressively through the company’s forthcoming MAVAN validator network, and generate reliable, protocol-level yield for shareholders.

Just last week, BMNR added another $65,000 worth of ETH, lifting its holdings to 3.9% of circulating supply. At scale, the plan promises more than $374 million in annual staking fees. But the real question looming over traders and investors is what happens once Bitmine finally crosses the finish line. Will the alchemy deliver transformative returns — or will the market feel the absence of its biggest corporate buyer?

The Mechanics of the Alchemy of 5% Bitmine Immersion’s strategy goes far beyond simple HODLing. Lee, the Fundstrat co-founder known for bold crypto calls, has positioned Ethereum as the company’s primary reserve asset, far outpacing traditional Bitcoin-mining roots. By methodically buying on dips, staking the majority of its stack, and preparing to launch MAVAN — a Made-in-America validator network — Bitmine aims to convert a volatile balance sheet into a high-yield cash-flow engine. 

The 5% target isn’t just a round number; it’s the threshold at which staking rewards could become material enough to fund operations, dividends, or further expansion while insulating the firm from pure price speculation.

The timing has been opportunistic. Ethereum is down roughly 27% year-to-date, trading near recent lows around $2,163 after peaking near its all-time high of $4,950 last August. That price pullback has made every ETH acquisition cheaper and accelerated Bitmine’s progress toward 5%. Lee remains outspoken about an impending “ETH supercycle,” driven by institutional adoption, stablecoin growth, tokenization of real-world assets, and Ethereum’s role as the settlement layer for Wall Street. He has repeatedly pointed to historical V-shaped recoveries after 50%+ drawdowns and insists 2026 will see fresh record highs.

The Risk of Becoming ETH’s Shadow Buyer Yet skepticism is growing. Some market watchers argue that Bitmine’s relentless buying may itself be propping up ETH’s price. As the largest single corporate accumulator of “fresh money” into Ethereum, the company’s weekly purchases have absorbed meaningful sell pressure during an otherwise soft market. Once the 5% goal is reached — analysts speculate as soon as later this year if the pace holds — Bitmine’s demand could vanish overnight. The result: a sudden drop in buying interest that sends ETH lower, at least in the short term.

The broader crypto-treasury model carries other risks. Concentration in a single volatile asset exposes Bitmine to sharp drawdowns; the firm has already absorbed billions in unrealized losses during the current correction. Regulatory uncertainty around large-scale staking, potential changes to Ethereum’s issuance or staking economics, and competition from other corporate treasuries or ETFs could erode yields. 

There’s also the classic corporate-finance critique: tying a public company’s fate so tightly to one cryptocurrency limits diversification and invites shareholder dilution if more capital is needed to keep buying. Finally, once staking revenue kicks in at scale, Bitmine must prove it can convert protocol yield into sustainable shareholder value rather than simply becoming a leveraged ETH proxy.

Key Takeaway There is undeniable merit to Lee’s vision. Ethereum’s network effects, technological upgrades, and growing real-world utility could indeed spark the supercycle he envisions, turning 5% ownership into a powerful, yield-generating fortress. Bitmine Immersion’s approach offers public-market investors indirect exposure to Ethereum’s upside plus staking income they couldn’t easily replicate on their own.

Yet for anyone simply seeking ETH exposure, the cleaner path may be buying the cryptocurrency directly. Why pay a middleman’s premium — dilution risk, management overhead, and stock-specific volatility — when spot ETH, ETFs, or self-custodied holdings deliver the same underlying asset without the corporate wrapper? 

Bitmine’s Alchemy of 5% is a fascinating corporate experiment, but its success ultimately hinges on Ethereum itself. When Bitmine Immersion Technologies finally hits the threshold, the market’s real test begins.

Super Micro (SMCI) saw its shares surge in the last session with trading volume being higher than average. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions may not translate into further price increase in the near term.

Unilever's McCormick deal looks neutral at best, JPMorgan warns

Unilever PLC's (LSE:ULVR) potential sale of its foods division to American spice giant McCormick may disappoint investors despite its strategic appeal, according to analysis by JPMorgan.

The US bank sees the deal as broadly "neutral to value creation", while bringing meaningful execution risks.

On Friday, the FTSE 100 group said it had received interest in the division and was in talks with McCormick.

The transaction is thought to be structured as a so-called 'reverse Morris Trust' – a tax-efficient deal mechanism in which Unilever shareholders would receive shares in a newly listed foods company rather than cash, with Unilever itself receiving only around €12 billion in cash, roughly 30% of the total consideration.

McCormick, best known for its herbs, spices and condiments, would absorb Unilever brands including Hellmann's, Knorr and Marmite.

JPMorgan estimates tax leakage of around €4 billion, while 'dis-synergy' costs and lost efficiencies from separating the business were valued at around €9 billion, far outweighing estimated synergies of €4 billion on the McCormick side.

The bank also flags that the deal leaves Unilever with a smaller balance sheet and reduced financial firepower for future acquisitions, at a time of heightened uncertainty around emerging markets.

Timing is another concern: Unilever has only just completed what JPMorgan describes as its "biggest restructuring ever", following the earlier separation of The Magnum Ice Cream Company (EURONEXT:MICC, LSE:MICC, NYSE:MICC).

"Net-net, while we see the strategic rationale to advance Unilever’s portfolio transformation, we believe the timing is not ideal, while the deal may disappoint given the lack of substantial upside with execution risks at a time of increased worries on impact on EMs from the current crisis and we also point to a curtailed balance sheet that may restrict potential for future investments," analysts concluded.

Moody's Ratings on Monday downgraded a private credit fund run by KKR and Future Standard to junk amid rising bad loans and a string of weak earnings.

The ratings firm lowered the debt ratings of FS KKR Capital Corp by one notch to Ba1 from Baa3 — pushing it into "junk" territory — saying that the fund's underlying asset quality had worsened more than its peers.

Non-accrual loans, meaning borrowers who have stopped making payments, rose to 5.5% of total investments at the end of 2025, one of the highest rates among rated BDCs, according to the report.

"The downgrade reflects FSK's continued asset quality challenges, which have resulted in weaker profitability and greater net asset value erosion over time relative to business development company (BDC) peers," Moody's said.

The move by Moody's is the latest sign of distress in the private credit world. Retail investors have been rushing to withdraw funds, running into gates amid concerns about upcoming credit losses, especially related to software loans. Funds like FS KKR issue debt to help juice returns, so the Moody's downgrade could increase its borrowing costs and, therefore, lower future returns.

Moody's also flagged other aspects of the fund that could expose it to greater losses over time, including higher leverage, a higher proportion of payment-in-kind loans, and a lower percentage of first-lien loans than peers.

FS KKR posted a net loss of $114 million in the fourth quarter alone and earned just $11 million in net income for all of 2025, according to Moody's.

The fund didn't immediately return a request for comment.

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Style Box - All Cap Blend category of the market, the Franklin U.S. Equity Index ETF (USPX - Free Report) is a smart beta exchange traded fund launched on 06/01/2016.

What Are Smart Beta ETFs?Products that are based on market cap weighted indexes, which are strategies designed to reflect a specific market segment or the market as a whole, have traditionally dominated the ETF industry.

A good option for investors who believe in market efficiency, market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns.

But, there are some investors who would rather invest in smart beta funds; these funds track non-cap weighted strategies, and are a strong option for those who prefer choosing great stocks in order to beat the market.

These indexes attempt to select stocks that have better chances of risk-return performance, based on certain fundamental characteristics or a combination of such characteristics.

This area offers many different investment choices, such as simplest equal-weighting, fundamental weighting and volatility/momentum based weighting methodologies; however, not all of these strategies can deliver superior results.

Fund Sponsor & IndexManaged by Franklin Templeton Investments, USPX has amassed assets over $1.55 billion, making it one of the larger ETFs in the Style Box - All Cap Blend. This particular fund seeks to match the performance of the MORNINGSTAR US TARGET MARKET EXPOSURE ID before fees and expenses.

The Morningstar US Target Market Exposure Index targets large and mid-capitalization U.S. stocks representing the top 85% of the U.S. equity market by float-adjusted market capitalization.

Cost & Other ExpensesWhen considering an ETF's total return, expense ratios are an important factor. And, cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins in the long term if all other factors remain equal.

Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.03%, making it one of the least expensive products in the space.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.19%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsMost ETFs are very transparent products, and disclose their holdings on a daily basis. ETFs also offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, though it's still important for investors to research a fund's holdings.

This ETF has heaviest allocation in the Information Technology sector - about 33.1% of the portfolio. Financials and Telecom round out the top three.

Taking into account individual holdings, Nvidia Corp (NVDA) accounts for about 7.22% of the fund's total assets, followed by Apple Inc (AAPL) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT).

The top 10 holdings account for about 36.77% of total assets under management.

Performance and RiskSo far this year, USPX has lost about -3.98%, and is up about 17.15% in the last one year (as of 03/24/2026). During this past 52-week period, the fund has traded between $43.36 and $60.96.

The fund has a beta of 0.91 and standard deviation of 14.87% for the trailing three-year period. With about 510 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk .

AlternativesFranklin U.S. Equity Index ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - All Cap Blend segment of the market. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider.

iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF (ITOT) tracks S&P Total Market Index and the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF Shares (VTI) tracks CRSP US Total Market Index. iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF has $79.71 billion in assets, Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF Shares has $563.24 billion. ITOT has an expense ratio of 0.03% and VTI changes 0.03%.

Making its debut on 12/14/2012, smart beta exchange traded fund FlexShares Quality Dividend ETF (QDF - Free Report) provides investors broad exposure to the Style Box - All Cap Blend category of the market.

What Are Smart Beta ETFs?The ETF industry has long been dominated by products based on market cap weighted indexes, a strategy created to reflect the market or a particular market segment.

A good option for investors who believe in market efficiency, market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns.

If you're the kind of investor who would rather try and beat the market through good stock selection, then smart beta funds are your best choice; this fund class is known for tracking non-cap weighted strategies.

Non-cap weighted indexes try to choose stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance, which is based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a mix of other such characteristics.

This area offers many different investment choices, such as simplest equal-weighting, fundamental weighting and volatility/momentum based weighting methodologies; however, not all of these strategies can deliver superior results.

Fund Sponsor & IndexManaged by Flexshares, QDF has amassed assets over $1.98 billion, making it one of the larger ETFs in the Style Box - All Cap Blend. This particular fund seeks to match the performance of the Northern Trust Quality Dividend Index before fees and expenses.

The Northern Trust Quality Dividend Index is designed to provide exposure to a high-quality income-oriented portfolio of long-only U.S. equity securities, with an emphasis on long-term capital growth and a targeted overall beta that is similar to that of the Northern Trust 1250 Index and the Index are selected based on expected dividend payment and fundamental factors.

Cost & Other ExpensesCost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins if all other fundamentals are the same.

Operating expenses on an annual basis are 0.37% for this ETF, which makes it on par with most peer products in the space.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.69%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsIt is important to delve into an ETF's holdings before investing despite the many upsides to these kinds of funds like diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.

For QDF, it has heaviest allocation in the Information Technology sector --about 33.5% of the portfolio --while Financials and Healthcare round out the top three.

When you look at individual holdings, Apple Inc Common Stock Usd 0.00001 (AAPL) accounts for about 7.97% of the fund's total assets, followed by Nvidia Corp Common Stock Usd 0.001 (NVDA) and Microsoft Corp Common Stock Usd 0.00000625 (MSFT).

The top 10 holdings account for about 37.1% of total assets under management.

Performance and RiskThe ETF has lost about -1.67% so far this year and it's up approximately 17.91% in the last one year (as of 03/24/2026). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $59.99 and $84.04

QDF has a beta of 0.93 and standard deviation of 13.82% for the trailing three-year period, which makes the fund a medium risk choice in the space. With about 126 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk .

AlternativesFlexShares Quality Dividend ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - All Cap Blend segment of the market. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider.

iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF (ITOT) tracks S&P Total Market Index and the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF Shares (VTI) tracks CRSP US Total Market Index. iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF has $79.71 billion in assets, Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF Shares has $563.24 billion. ITOT has an expense ratio of 0.03% and VTI changes 0.03%.

If you're interested in broad exposure to the Large Cap Blend segment of the US equity market, look no further than the State Street SPDR Russell 1000 Low Volatility Focus ETF (ONEV - Free Report) , a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on December 2, 2015.

The fund is sponsored by State Street Investment Management. It has amassed assets over $527.71 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.

Why Large Cap BlendCompanies that find themselves in the large cap category typically have a market capitalization above $10 billion. Considered a more stable option, large cap companies boast more predictable cash flows and are less volatile than their mid and small cap counterparts.

Blend ETFs usually hold a mix of growth and value stocks as well as stocks that exhibit both value and growth characteristics.

CostsSince cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.

Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.2%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 2.25%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsETFs offer a diversified exposure and thus minimize single stock risk but it is still important to delve into a fund's holdings before investing. Most ETFs are very transparent products and many disclose their holdings on a daily basis.

This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Industrials sector -- about 21.2% of the portfolio. Healthcare and Financials round out the top three.

Looking at individual holdings, Cardinal Health Inc (CAH) accounts for about 1.79% of total assets, followed by Cencora Inc (COR) and Mckesson Corp (MCK).

The top 10 holdings account for about 9.63% of total assets under management.

Performance and RiskONEV seeks to match the performance of the Russell 1000 Low Volatility Focused Factor Index before fees and expenses. The Russell 1000 Low Volatility Focused Factor Index reflects the performance of a segment of large-capitalization U.S. equity securities demonstrating a combination of core factors high value, high quality, and low size characteristics, with a focus factor comprising low volatility characteristics.

The ETF has gained about 0.05% so far this year and is up roughly 8.21% in the last one year (as of 03/24/2026). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $114.16 and $143.00.

The ETF has a beta of 0.86 and standard deviation of 12.49% for the trailing three-year period. With about 445 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.

AlternativesState Street SPDR Russell 1000 Low Volatility Focus ETF carries a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 (Hold), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Thus, ONEV is a sufficient option for those seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Blend area of the market. Investors might also want to consider some other ETF options in the space.

The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and the Vanguard 500 Index Fund ETF Shares (VOO) track a similar index. While iShares Core S&P 500 ETF has $684.24 billion in assets, Vanguard 500 Index Fund ETF Shares has $838.19 billion. IVV has an expense ratio of 0.03% and VOO charges 0.03%.

Launched on May 22, 2000, the iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF (IJH - Free Report) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.

The fund is sponsored by Blackrock. It has amassed assets over $108.58 billion, making it the largest ETF attempting to match the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.

Why Mid Cap BlendMid cap companies, with market capitalization in the range of $2 billion and $10 billion, offer investors many things that small and large companies don't, including less risk and higher growth opportunities. Thus they have a nice balance of growth potential and stability.

Typically holding a combination of both growth and value stocks, blend ETFs also demonstrate qualities seen in value and growth investments.

CostsSince cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.

Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.05%, making it one of the least expensive products in the space.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.32%.

Looking for broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market? You should consider the Fidelity Value Factor ETF (FVAL - Free Report) , a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on September 12, 2016.

The fund is sponsored by Fidelity. It has amassed assets over $1.09 billion, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.

Why Large Cap ValueLarge cap companies usually have a market capitalization above $10 billion. They tend to be stable companies with predictable cash flows and are usually less volatile than mid and small cap companies.

Carrying lower than average price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, value stocks also have lower than average sales and earnings growth rates. While value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in nearly all markets when you consider long-term performance, growth stocks are more likely to outpace value stocks in strong bull markets.

CostsInvestors should also pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio. Lower cost products will produce better results than those with a higher cost, assuming all other metrics remain the same.

Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.15%, making it one of the least expensive products in the space.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.71%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsIt is important to delve into an ETF's holdings before investing despite the many upsides to these kinds of funds like diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling (866) 864-3968.

For the most recent STANDARDIZED AND MONTH-END PERFORMANCE, please click on the ETF ticker below:

Each Fund has a limited operating history, and while each Fund's objective is to provide current income, there is no guarantee the Fund will make a distribution. Distributions are likely to vary greatly in amount.

Note: SLTY is hereinafter referred to as the “Short ETF.”

Distributions are not guaranteed. The Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield are not indicative of future distributions, if any, on the ETFs. In particular, future distributions on any ETF may differ significantly from its Distribution Rate or 30-Day SEC Yield. Distributions for the ETFs (if any) are variable and may vary significantly from period to period and may be zero. Accordingly, the Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield will change over time, and such change may be significant.

Investors in the Funds will not have rights to receive dividends or other distributions with respect to the underlying reference asset(s).

1 The YieldMax® ETFs shown in the table above (except YMAX, YMAG, FEAT, FIVY and ULTY) have a gross expense ratio of 0.99%. YMAX, FEAT have a Management Fee of 0.29% and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.99% for a gross expense ratio of 1.28%. YMAG has a management fee of 0.29% and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.83% for a gross expense ratio of 1.12%. FIVY has a Management Fee of 0.29% and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.59% for a gross expense ratio of 0.88%. “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are indirect fees and expenses that the Fund incurs from investing in the shares of other investment companies, namely other YieldMax® ETFs. ULTY has a gross expense ratio of 1.40%, and a net expense ratio after the fee waiver of 1.30%. The Advisor has agreed to a fee waiver of 0.10% through at least February 28, 2026.

2 The Distribution Rate shown is as of close on March 23, 2026. The Distribution Rate is the annual distribution rate an investor would receive if the most recent distribution, which includes option income, remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by annualizing an ETF’s Distribution per Share and dividing such annualized amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. Distributions may also include a combination of ordinary dividends, capital gain, and return of investor capital, which may decrease an ETF’s NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment. These Distribution Rates may be caused by unusually favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable. Such conditions may not continue to exist and there should be no expectation that this performance may be repeated in the future.

3 The 30-Day SEC Yield represents net investment income, which excludes option income, earned by such ETF over the 30-Day period ended February 28, 2026, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on such ETF’s share price at the end of the 30-Day period.

4 Each ETF’s strategy (except SLTY) will cap potential gains if its reference asset’s shares increase in value, yet subjects an investor to all potential losses if the reference asset’s shares decrease in value. Such potential losses may not be offset by income received by the ETF. SLTY’s strategy will cap potential gains if its reference asset decreases in value, yet subjects an investor to all potential losses if the reference asset increases in value. Such potential losses may not be offset by income received by the ETF.

5 ROC refers to Return of Capital. The ROC percentage indicates how much the distribution reflects an investor's initial investment. The figures shown for each Fund in the table above are estimates and may later be determined to be taxable net investment income, short-term gains, long-term gains (to the extent permitted by law), or return of capital. Actual amounts and sources for tax reporting will depend upon the Fund's investment activities during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Your broker will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year to tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Each Fund has a limited operating history and while each Fund's objective is to provide current income, there is no guarantee the Fund will make a distribution. Distributions are likely to vary greatly in amount.

Important Information

Tidal Investments, LLC is the adviser for all YieldMax® ETFs.

THE FUND, TRUST, AND ADVISER ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY UNDERLYING REFERENCE ASSET.

Risk Disclosures (applicable to all YieldMax ETFs referenced above, except SLTY)

YMAX, YMAG, FEAT and FIVY generally invest in other YieldMax® ETFs. As such, these funds are subject to the risks listed in this section, which apply to all the YieldMax® ETFs they may hold from time to time.

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

Referenced Index Risk. The Fund invests in options contracts that are based on the value of the Index (or the Index ETFs). This subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of companies that comprised the Index or an ETF that tracks the Index, even though it does not.

Indirect Investment Risk. The Index is not affiliated with the Trust, the Fund, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates and is not involved with this offering in any way. Investors in the Fund will not have the right to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the companies that comprise the Index but will be subject to declines in the performance of the Index.

Russell 2000 Index Risks. The Index, which consists of small-cap U.S. companies, is particularly susceptible to economic changes, as these firms often have less financial resilience than larger companies. Market volatility can disproportionately affect these smaller businesses, leading to significant price swings. Additionally, these companies are often more exposed to specific industry risks and have less diverse revenue streams. They can also be more vulnerable to changes in domestic regulatory or policy environments.

Call Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency (i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s call writing strategy will impact the extent that the Fund participates in the positive price returns of the underlying reference asset and, in turn, the Fund’s returns, both during the term of the sold call options and over longer periods.

Counterparty Risk. The Fund is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives, including options, are required to be centrally cleared (“cleared derivatives”). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (“clearing members”) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.

Options Contracts. The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political events, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s investment objective, the Fund seeks to provide current income. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any given period. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next.

High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund’s holdings. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund’s expenses.

Liquidity Risk. Some securities held by the Fund, including options contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil.

Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund.

New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

Price Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment strategy that includes the sale of call option contracts, which limits the degree to which the Fund will participate in increases in value experienced by the underlying reference asset over the Call Period.

Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions, if any, may decline.

Indirect Investment Risk. The Index is not affiliated with the Trust, the Fund, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates and is not involved with this offering in any way.

Risk Disclosures (applicable only to GPTY)

Artificial Intelligence Risk. Issuers engaged in artificial intelligence typically have high research and capital expenditures and, as a result, their profitability can vary widely, if they are profitable at all. The space in which they are engaged is highly competitive and issuers’ products and services may become obsolete very quickly. These companies are heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. The issuers are also subject to legal, regulatory, and political changes that may have a large impact on their profitability. A failure in an issuer’s product or even questions about the safety of the product could be devastating to the issuer, especially if it is the marquee product of the issuer. It can be difficult to accurately capture what qualifies as an artificial intelligence company.

Technology Sector Risk. The Fund will invest substantially in companies in the information technology sector, and therefore the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability.

Risk Disclosures (applicable only to SLTY)

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

Shorting Risk. The Fund may enter into a short sale by selling a security it has borrowed (typically from a broker or other institution). If the market price of a security increases after the Fund borrows the security, the Fund will suffer a (potentially unlimited) loss when it replaces the borrowed security at the higher price. In certain cases, purchasing a security to cover a short position can itself cause the price of the security to rise further, thereby exacerbating the loss. In addition, the Fund may not always be able to borrow the security at a particular time or at an acceptable price. The Fund may also take a short position synthetically through use of derivatives. Synthetic short positions, achieved through derivatives such as options, additionally expose the Fund to the inherent risks of derivatives (described above). These combined risks can result in greater losses for the Fund than those associated with direct short sales, potentially preventing the Fund from achieving its investment objective.

Price Appreciation Risk. As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered put strategy, the Fund purchases and sells call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the underlying reference asset. This strategy subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it shorted the underlying reference asset, even though it does not. By virtue of the Fund’s indirect inverse exposure to changes in the value of the underlying reference asset, the Fund is subject to the risk that the value of the underlying reference asset increases. If the value of the underlying reference asset increases, the Fund will likely lose value and, as a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses.

Put Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency (i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s put writing (selling) strategy will impact the extent that the Fund participates in decreases in the value of the underlying reference asset and, in turn, the Fund’s returns, both during the term of the sold put options and over longer periods.

Purchased OTM Call Options Risk. The Fund’s strategy is subject to potential losses if the underlying reference asset increases in value, which may not be offset by the purchase of out-of-the-money (OTM) call options. The Fund purchases OTM calls to seek to manage (cap) the Fund’s potential losses from the Fund’s short exposure to the underlying reference asset if it appreciates significantly in value. However, the OTM call options will cap the Fund’s losses only to the extent that the value of the underlying reference asset increases to a level that is at or above the strike level of the purchased OTM call options. Any increase in the value of the underlying reference asset to a level that is below the strike level of the purchased OTM call options will result in a corresponding loss for the Fund. For example, if the OTM call options have a strike level that is approximately 100% above the then-current value of the underlying reference asset at the time of the call option purchase, and the value of the underlying reference asset increases by at least 100% during the term of the purchased OTM call options, the Fund will lose all its value. Since the Fund bears the costs of purchasing the OTM calls, such costs will decrease the Fund’s value and/or any income otherwise generated by the Fund’s investment strategy.

Counterparty Risk. The Fund is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives, including options, are required to be centrally cleared ("cleared derivatives"). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund's counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house ("clearing members") can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.

Options Contracts. The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying reference asset, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political events, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s investment objective, the Fund seeks to provide current income. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any given period. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next.

High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund’s reference holdings.

Liquidity Risk. Some securities held by the Fund, including options contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil.

Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund.

New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

Price Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment strategy that includes the sale of put option contracts, which limits the degree to which the Fund will participate in decreases in value experienced by the underlying asset over the Put Period.

Risk Disclosures (applicable only to CHPY)

Semiconductor Industry Risk. Semiconductor companies may face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, and such competition may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Semiconductor companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Semiconductor companies' supply chain and operations are dependent on the availability of materials that meet exacting standards and the use of third parties to provide components and services.

The products of semiconductor companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Capital equipment expenditures could be substantial, and equipment generally suffers from rapid obsolescence. Companies in the semiconductor industry are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights would adversely affect the profitability of these companies, remaining time to the options’ expiration, as well as trading conditions in the options market.

As the Index level changes and time moves towards the expiration of each Put Period, the value of the options contracts, and therefore the Fund’s NAV, will change. However, it is not expected for the Fund’s NAV to directly inversely correlate on a day-to-day basis with the returns of the Index level. The amount of time remaining until the options contract’s expiration date affects the impact that the value of the options contracts has on the Fund’s NAV, which may not be in full effect until the expiration date of the Fund’s options contracts. Therefore, while changes in the Index level will result in changes to the Fund’s NAV, the Fund generally anticipates that the rate of change in the Fund’s NAV will be different than the inverse of the changes experienced by the Index level.

CHICAGO, March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) announced today the launch of TruLookup® for Real Estate, a purpose-built solution that helps real estate professionals confirm property ownership to prevent fraud, conduct personal safety checks, and drive more efficient, effective prospecting.  

The solution reduces the need for real estate professionals to access multiple databases or download multiple apps when researching prospective clients and properties. The single, mobile-first app will be featured at TransUnion’s booth at the 2026 AE Institute (Association Executives Institute), hosted by the National Association of REALTORS®, March 24-26 in Minneapolis.  

“TruLookup for Real Estate exemplifies the innovative solutions TransUnion delivers by bringing together our robust and extensive data assets and connected identity in new ways to create tools that solve real customer challenges,” said Mohamed Abdelsadek, Chief Global Solutions Officer at TransUnion.

TruLookup for Real Estate combines fraud prevention, safety checks and prospecting enablement into one streamlined solution—empowering agents to work faster, safer and more effectively in the field. Real estate professionals can use the solution for the following: 

Validate Ownership: Confirm legal property ownership before listing.  Personal Safety Check: Use a phone number to review identity attributes and assess potential risk indicators before in-person meetings.  Property Contact: Instantly find phone, email and postal address information for owners of unlisted properties.  Prospecting Lists: Generate phone, email and direct mail lists based on a location and customizable radius for circle prospecting campaigns.  “REALTORS work on the go in a fast-moving, highly competitive industry,” said Melanie Zimmerman, President of TransUnion Risk and Alternative Data Solutions, Inc.1 “TransUnion’s TruLookup for Real Estate gives them a mobile-first solution that helps them stay safe and seize opportunities in the moment.”

A clear need in the market
A 2026 commissioned survey conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of TransUnion found 48% of realtors require four or more tools to assess safety risks and confirm contact information. However, nearly half of those surveyed said they aren’t able to use their tools to find contact information on potential clients. The same survey found the most important information REALTORS need when meeting new clients are their property ownership status and addresses (57%), criminal offense history (43%), and whether their identity is suspected of fraud (40%).

TruLookup for Real Estate provides all of this crucial information within a single, mobile-first app. The solution is powered by OneTru™ , TransUnion's centralized platform that enables a persistent view of consumer identity across multiple use cases.

TruLookup for Real Estate will be available in early April. Real estate professionals can access the app through participating associations and brokerages. Learn more here.

Ethereum price is trading at $2,160, caught in a high-stakes consolidation zone with a neutral prediction behind it. While recent price action marks a 55% recovery from cycle lows, on-chain data signals caution: whale wallets distributed heavily into the March peak of $2,370.

Volatility is the only certainty this week. Despite persistent energy-driven inflation data keeping pressure on risk assets, institutional interest remains sticky, evidenced by ongoing inflows into BlackRock’s staked ETH ETF. However, the distribution pattern suggests smart money is de-risking ahead of the Glamesterdam hard fork. A break in either direction seems imminent.

The technical posture is mixed. While the Layer-2 ecosystem boasts more than $30 billion TVL, the immediate price action on the daily chart is testing trader resolve. Can the bulls defend the $2,000 level?

Ethereum Price Prediction: Can ETH Hold Support at $2,000?As of this morning, Ethereum (ETH) sits at $2,160, posting a healthy +4.5% gain over the last 24 hours. The asset is currently respecting the 52-week range midpoint, utilizing the DEMA 9 at approximately $2,100 as dynamic support. This level is critical; a daily close below could trigger a slide toward the next major liquidity pool at $2,000.

Momentum indicators are flashing warning signs while the RSI hovers in neutral territory at 52 on the daily. This structure often precedes a volatility contraction before a violent expansion. Analysts note that a decisive reclaiming of $2,350 is required to invalidate the bearish distribution thesis.

ETH USD, TradingViewShould broader market sentiment improve, perhaps tailored by a dovish FOMC dot plot, ETH could target the psychological $2,500 barrier. Conversely, if the projected +10.88% monthly forecast fails to materialize, the 50-EMA near $2,050 acts as the ultimate line in the sand for the bulls.

Bitcoin Hyper Targets Early Mover Upside as Ethereum StallsWhile Ethereum battles localized resistance and macroeconomic headwinds, capital is beginning to rotate (as it often does during consolidation phases) into high-beta infrastructure plays. Sophisticated traders are eyeing the emerging Bitcoin Layer 2 narrative, which promises to unlock trillions in dormant BTC capital.

Leading this charge is Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), the first-ever Bitcoin Layer 2 solution to integrate the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). While Ethereum struggles with gas revenue issues, Bitcoin Hyper claims to deliver transaction speeds faster than Solana itself, directly on the Bitcoin network.

The market appetite for this utility is quantifiable. The project has already raised an amount of more than $32 million in its ongoing presale. Priced currently at just $0.0136, the token offers an entry point significantly lower than established L2s with 36% APY rewards.

The protocol features a Decentralized Canonical Bridge for seamless BTC transfers and supports high-speed smart contracts that break Bitcoin’s historical limitation of non-programmability.

XRP trades at $1.42 with neutral RSI at 48.66. Technical analysis suggests immediate resistance at $1.52, with potential for 7% upside if bulls regain momentum.

Ripple (XRP) is showing signs of consolidation at $1.42 as traders watch key technical levels for the next directional move. With neutral momentum indicators and critical resistance zones ahead, this XRP price prediction examines the path forward for one of crypto's most watched assets.

XRP Price Prediction Summary • Short-term target (1 week): $1.47-$1.52 • Medium-term forecast (1 month): $1.32-$1.52 range
• Bullish breakout level: $1.52 • Critical support: $1.37

What Crypto Analysts Are Saying About Ripple While specific analyst predictions are limited in recent market commentary, on-chain metrics from major data platforms suggest XRP is at a critical juncture. According to WisdomTree's January 31, 2026 report, "XRP's market capitalization is $100 billion, with a 1-month decline of 11% and a 3-month decline of 34%. The 90-day annualized volatility stands at 67%."

This high volatility environment creates both opportunity and risk for XRP holders, with significant price swings expected as the market determines direction. The Ripple forecast becomes more challenging given the elevated volatility metrics, but also suggests potential for substantial moves in either direction.

XRP Technical Analysis Breakdown XRP's current technical setup presents a mixed picture with several key indicators worth monitoring:

RSI Analysis: At 48.66, XRP's RSI sits firmly in neutral territory, neither overbought nor oversold. This suggests the asset has room to move in either direction without immediate momentum constraints.

MACD Signals: The MACD histogram at 0.0000 indicates bearish momentum, with the MACD line at -0.0022 slightly below the signal line. This technical divergence suggests downward pressure may persist in the near term.

Bollinger Bands Position: Trading at 52.59% of the Bollinger Band range, XRP sits near the middle band ($1.42), indicating balanced buying and selling pressure. The upper band at $1.52 represents immediate resistance, while the lower band at $1.31 provides downside support.

Moving Average Confluence: Short-term averages (SMA 7: $1.43, SMA 20: $1.42) align closely with current price, while the SMA 200 at $2.09 remains a distant target for any major bullish reversal.

Ripple Price Targets: Bull vs Bear Case Bullish Scenario In an optimistic scenario, XRP price prediction models point to $1.52 as the immediate target, representing the upper Bollinger Band and strong resistance level. A decisive break above this level could trigger momentum toward $1.60-$1.65.

Key bullish confirmations needed: - RSI breaking above 55 - MACD histogram turning positive - Volume surge on breaks above $1.47

Bearish Scenario The bear case for this Ripple forecast centers on the $1.37 support level failing to hold. A breakdown could accelerate selling toward $1.32 (strong support) and potentially the lower Bollinger Band at $1.31.

Risk factors include: - MACD remaining in negative territory - Failure to reclaim $1.47 resistance - Broader crypto market weakness

Should You Buy XRP? Entry Strategy Current technical levels suggest a wait-and-see approach may be prudent:

Conservative Entry: Wait for a clear break above $1.47 with volume confirmation before establishing long positions targeting $1.52.

Aggressive Entry: Current levels around $1.42 offer reasonable risk-reward if using tight stops below $1.37.

Stop-Loss Strategy: Position stops below $1.37 to limit downside exposure, representing roughly 3.5% risk from current levels.

Risk Management: Given the 67% annualized volatility, position sizing should account for significant price swings and potential for rapid moves in either direction.

Conclusion This XRP price prediction suggests a consolidation phase with $1.52 as the key resistance to watch. While neutral RSI provides flexibility for movement in either direction, bearish MACD signals warrant caution. The most likely scenario sees XRP trading between $1.32-$1.52 over the next month, with direction ultimately determined by broader crypto market sentiment and any Ripple-specific catalysts.

An influential cryptocurrency analyst spotted on Monday a “golden entry window” for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), serving as a launchpad for a new 4-year cycle.

‘Countdown To The Next Bitcoin Vertical Move’In an X post, Ali Martinez stated that Bitcoin is nearing its “final discount” window before the next bull market.

According to Martinez, if the current fractal pattern holds, the period between Oct. 6 and Oct. 16 could emerge as a prime entry opportunity with a buy zone between $41,500 and $45,000. In other words, they believe Bitcoin's price still has significant downside.

“This could be the launchpad to start a new 4-year cycle. The countdown to the next Bitcoin vertical move has begun,” Martinez said.

Bitcoin Rallies Over Potential Ceasefire Martinez’s prediction coincided with Bitcoin’s relief rally on Monday after President Donald Trump said that the U.S. held “very good and productive conversations” with Iran. Bitcoin hit an intraday high of $71,782, accompanied by a 55% spike in 24-hour volume.

How Long Before Bitcoin Bottoms?The Puell Multiple indicator, which identifies market cycles by analyzing miner sell pressure, remains well short of “historical buy zones,” according to CoinMarketCap.

Meanwhile, the Awesome Oscillator, which compares recent market movements to historic market movements,  flashed a "Buy" signal for BTC, according to TradingView.

Conversely, the Bull Bear Power indicator, which measures the strength of buyers and sellers, flashed a "Sell" signal. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator also gave a bearish reading.

Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $71,132.62, up 3.66% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Although Shiba Inu is beginning to exhibit early signs of life, it is still too soon to declare it a confirmed breakout above the 50 EMA.

SHIB has been grinding through a downtrend on the chart, characterized by lower highs and ongoing rejection from moving averages. This is a consistent trend that fits the rest of the market: sellers have continuously defended rallies, while the asset has spent months below important dynamic resistance levels.

Shiba Inu in transitional phaseWhat’s changing now is subtle but significant: the price is trying to regain short-term structure and compress beneath resistance, rather than being aggressively sold off. SHIB is currently exhibiting characteristics of a market in transition. 

HOT Stories

SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe price is forming tighter consolidation patterns instead of impulsive drops, volatility has decreased and downward momentum has diminished. Although it frequently precedes a directional move, this type of behavior does not ensure one. It is not a breakout phase but something of a consolidation.

Is breakout enough? Watching the 50 EMA is important as, on trending markets, this moving average serves as a border between bullish and bearish control. Rallies are typically corrected and sold when the price is below the moving average. The structure starts to change in favor of accumulation and possible continuation when the price recovers and stays above it.

You Might Also Like

The market will remain in a bearish regime if the 50 EMA is not reclaimed, as numerous analyses have shown, but a persistent move above it indicates a potential shift in trend. The first significant indication that buyers are regaining control would be if SHIB could close and stay above the 50 EMA. It would imply that recent high lows are part of a developing trend reversal, rather than merely noise.

But this is where the majority of traders become stuck. It is insufficient to just close above the 50 EMA once. Fakeouts are a common occurrence on cryptocurrency markets — particularly meme coins. Breakouts frequently fail due to low liquidity, sentiment-driven spikes and increased market dependence. In particular, SHIB is highly responsive to the state of the market, and Bitcoin in general.

Any breakout would be nothing more than a brief rally for relief without them. To put it succinctly, SHIB is getting close to a crucial technical turn. Reclaiming the 50 EMA would be a powerful signal, but the trend has not truly changed until it shows acceptance above that level.
