# Crypto ETFs Surge 200% as Gold Miners' Option Plays Outpace Market

Amid heightened market volatility in 2026, income-focused ETF strategies are carving distinct paths. ZCASH ETF COM NPV (ZCSH.US) surged over 200% year-to-date, leveraging Zcash's privacy features to become a standout performer in crypto-adjacent products. Meanwhile, Yieldmax Gold Miners Option Income Strategy ETF (GDXY.US) and Worth Charting Options Income ETF (WRTH.US) generated 8.93% quarterly returns through systematic covered call writing on gold equities.

Neos Bitcoin High Income ETF (BTCI.US) combines spot bitcoin holdings with option income tactics, operating at the sector-average 0.65% fee. Armour Residential REIT Inc (ARR.US) reported $132 million Q2 revenue—a 434% quarterly jump—after posting $39.5 million losses in Q1, underscoring mortgage REIT volatility.

Leveraged instruments like Leverage Shares 2x Long Okta Daily ETF (OKTG.US), Leverage Shares 2x Long Tel Daily ETF (TELG.US), and Defiance Daily Target 2x Long VST ETF (VSTL.US) cater to short-term traders, while Ab Disruptors ETF (FWD.US) pursues structural tech shifts. These divergent approaches reflect institutional investors' growing appetite for yield-engineered solutions in uncertain markets.
