With 2026 nearly half over, it's fair to say that plenty of cryptocurrency investors are frustrated, and that sentiment isn't confined to highly speculative meme coins. It's relevant to investors engaged with the “big boys” such as bitcoin and ether.

WESTPORT, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NEOS Investments, an asset management firm comprised of leaders and pioneers in the options-based ETF space, announces May monthly distribution amounts for their suite of ETFs that pursue monthly income and tax efficiency across core portfolio exposures. May 2026 Distribution Information, based on each ETFs Ex-Dividend Date:   Distribution Rate* Amount / Share (%) Amount / Share ($) Ex-Dividend Date 30-Day SEC Yield** Boosted Bitcoin High Income ETF (XBCI) 38.8.

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency behind only Bitcoin, still has a lot of work to do to reclaim prior highs, but there are signs of life in the Ether realm. That could prompt income-enthused crypto investors to consider unique Ether approaches, including the NEOS Ethereum High Income ETF (NEHI).

NEOS Investments' high-income ETFs deliver monthly distributions with tax efficiency, leveraging section 1256 options for enhanced yields and lower tax burdens. QQQI, SPYI, and other NEOS equity funds offer yields up to 14.6%, with most distributions classified as return of capital, supporting both income and portfolio diversification. Recent NEOS launches in alternatives—BTCI, NEHI, IAUI, MLPI—expand high-yield, tax-advantaged opportunities, though volatility and distribution variability warrant careful allocation.

2026 is starting with some inklings that the cryptocurrency universe could deliver better returns this year than it did in 2025. If true, scores of advisors and retail investors will likely access digital currencies via ETFs.

The NEOS Ethereum High Income ETF (NEHI) is fresh on the cryptocurrency ETF scene. However, this income-generating play on the second-largest digital currency may be relevant right out of the starting gates.
