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.
