Anchorage Digital says Bitcoin covered-call strategies can generate synthetic yield for BTC holders, but only when managed with strict discipline. The firm’s new research warns that selling upside on Bitcoin can cushion drawdowns in weaker markets, yet cap gains sharply when BTC enters one of its violent bull-market phases. The analysis, written by Anchorage Digital Head of Research David Lawant, examines systematic covered-call writing on Bitcoin using hourly simulations across the Deribit implied-volatility surface.

Robinhood (HOOD) and Coinbase (COIN) ended the week’s final session in the green, with Robinhood’s stock leading the move as US regulators took steps that could expand the local market for crypto derivatives. Shares of Robinhood rose sharply, jumping about 11% on the day to close around $94 per share, which also marked the highest level the stock has reached since February.  Coinbase (COIN) was not far behind, gaining close to 7% as the exchange’s shares finished the session near $189. That level sits in the middle of the stock’s broader consolidation range of roughly $160 to $215, a band it has been trading within since late March. CFTC Sparks HOOD And COIN Rally The rally for both companies was widely attributed to action from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Earlier on Friday, the agency announced it would allow US firms to offer perpetual (perps) futures trading, a potential catalyst for new product launches and expanded trading activity within the United States.
