- By the record: $7.89 per share arrived in the twelve months to October 4, 2026, in 52 checks, out of 75 payments going back to September 27, 2024, which is down 65% from $22.32 twelve months prior, or about 80% of the ~$9.88 share price.
- Scale check: August 2026's checks of $0.088 and $0.050 against a ~$9.46 share price show the current pace plainly — ether's option market has cooled, and the weekly checks cooled with it.
- Pays: weekly.
- First paid: September 2024.
- What it is: Roundhill's covered-call fund on ETHEREUM — it holds ether-ETF exposure and sells calls against it, converting crypto's second-largest asset's volatility into income.
- The sibling: YBTC runs the identical design on bitcoin — the pair tracks which crypto asset's volatility pays better.
- Headline rate: trailing figures above 100% — inflated by a share price that carries ether's drawdowns.
YETH targets high weekly income from ether option premiums, not a fixed amount; distributions typically include return-of-capital components.

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |
|---|
"Next expected" is estimated from YETH's recent payment rhythm — the fund announces exact dates shortly before each payout, and the data feed can lag a few days. You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout; the cash typically arrives days later. See every fund's upcoming date on the live dividend calendar.
A real total-return estimate, assuming every payout was reinvested — including what happened to the share price. Before taxes and fees. Past performance does not predict the future.
Ether pays nothing by itself (staking aside) — but its volatility is a sellable product, and YETH sells it weekly: hold ether exposure, write calls, distribute the premium. In ether manias the income is spectacular; in ether winters both the checks and the share price shrink together, and the sold calls mean the fund never fully rides the recoveries.
Judge it against simply holding ether — that's the comparison the structure invites — using the total-return backtest above, and read ROC & NAV Erosion for why the trailing yield overstates what a buyer today should expect.

When Is YETH's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
YETH pays weekly. The exact date of each payout is announced by the fund only shortly beforehand, so no site can promise the next date — but the live schedule box above shows the most recent ex-dividend date and the expected window for the next one, computed from YETH's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
YETH's Record: Nearly Two Years of Ether Weather
YETH — the Roundhill Ether Covered Call Strategy ETF — has paid weekly since September 2024, long enough to chart a full swing of ether's mood: rich checks through the 2025 run, thinner ones as the asset cooled. The trailing rate still reads above 100%; the recent weekly amounts tell the current truth.
The Machinery, Briefly
Hold ether exposure, sell calls against it, distribute the premium — the identical blueprint as YBTC, pointed at the asset one notch further out on the risk curve. The distributions carry heavy return-of-capital character, and the sold calls cap participation in exactly the violent rallies where ether makes most of its long-run return.
Where YETH Fits
For an ether believer who wants the position to pay something while they hold — accepting that the payment comes out of the upside. Compare YBTC and the diversified BLOX, and check its next expected date on the live calendar.
