  • Among its main products are the Theta] Index, an option basket offering automated yield generation, and Theta Wheel, physically settled vaults aiming to help investors "buy low and sell high."
  • "With Theta Index and Theta Wheel, we are hoping to empower retail and institutional investors to earn significantly higher yield which is organically generated through options strategies," Thetanuts said.
