Bonk Income Blast ETF — Details
According to the filing on the 16th of September, the proposed “Bonk Income Blast ETF” has officially been submitted to the SEC.
It shows that appetite for meme-inspired crypto products remains undeterred by regulatory hesitation.
Tuttle Capital’s latest filing places the spot BONK ETF alongside two other proposed products. They include the Litecoin [LTC] Income Blast ETF and the Sui [SUI] Income Blast ETF.
The application, submitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, outlined a structure that blends traditional investment vehicles with exposure to digital assets.
How is the BONK ETF different?
Each proposed fund aimed to generate current income first, with a secondary goal of tracking the daily performance of its underlying token within capped gains.
This design marked a departure from standard spot crypto ETFs. In the sense that they combine income generation with controlled exposure to a meme-driven token.
The funds are planned to use a put credit spread strategy executed with FLexible EXchange Options (FLEX Options).
These customizable derivatives allow investors to set specific terms, such as strike price, contract style, and expiration dates.
By using FLEX Options, the fund ensures more transparent price discovery while avoiding counterparty risks that typically come with over-the-counter (OTC) options.
That being said, the unconventional design has already sparked conversation among industry watchers.
