Projections assume the current yield and share price remain constant. Actual results will vary.
Total returns
100% reinvested · ex-date convention. Period returns use this fixed assumption, independent of chart settings. YTD and 1Y are cumulative period returns; 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y are annualized. The shared Since-start window is annualized only when it covers at least one year.
COIN has outpaced COIW over the trailing twelve months, posting a -47.57% total return against -57.52%. Measured from Feb 2025 — the start of shared available history — COIN has compounded at -21.55% a year versus -32.57% for COIW. Figures are total returns: price change plus every distribution reinvested.
Total return and risk statistics by fund. Each row is one fund; each column is one period or statistic.
Total return with all distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date), split-adjusted, as of October 16, 2026. YTD and 1Y are cumulative period returns; 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y are annualized. The shared Since-start window is annualized only when it covers at least one year. “Since Feb 2025” measures every fund from February 19, 2025 — the start of shared available history — so all funds share one comparison window. Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of daily total returns over the past year. Sharpe and Sortino divide the annualized return in excess of the risk-free rate by, respectively, that volatility and the downside deviation (both over the past year) — higher is better. Max drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough total-return decline over the same window — shallower is better.

How the risk works
Read this before the income numbers below: the strategy mechanics on this page shape what those payouts can cost you.
Daily leverage reset. COIW targets a multiple of the index's DAILY move, resetting every session. Over weeks and months the compounding of daily resets (volatility decay) can drag returns far below the stated multiple, especially in choppy markets — and losses are magnified the same way gains are.
Crypto volatility. COIW sits on top of crypto-asset prices, which routinely swing far more than equities. A single drawdown can exceed a year of distributions, so income projections deserve extra skepticism here.

COIN is the common stock of Coinbase Global, a cryptocurrency exchange and financial platform.
Who each is best for
COIN: Investors seeking direct ownership of a cryptocurrency exchange platform with tolerance for high volatility and no current income requirement; those who believe in Coinbase's long-term business model and prefer capital appreciation over distributions.
NAV erosion at extreme yields. A 59.26% annualized payout rate on a single-stock, leveraged instrument creates pressure for NAV decline unless price appreciation and volatility exceed the distribution plus fee drag—a math that becomes harder to sustain if COIN consolidates.
Derivative and synthetic-income risk.COIW relies on options and total-return swaps to generate its weekly payouts. Shifts in implied volatility, swap spreads, or counterparty dynamics can reduce the realized payout or widen tracking error versus the stated 120% target.
Single-asset concentration. Both securities track only Coinbase. COIW magnifies this concentration through leverage, so regulatory setbacks, competitive pressure, or a decline in crypto adoption directly threaten both principal and income.
Bottom line
COIN suits investors with a multi-year horizon who want direct equity exposure to a cryptocurrency exchange and can tolerate high volatility without needing current income. COIW targets investors seeking weekly payouts from that same underlying, accepting leverage, synthetic-income mechanics, and elevated fees in exchange for consistent distributions. Past performance does not predict future results, and both securities remain tied to crypto adoption and regulatory trends.
