VIIX ETN was delisted on 2 July 2020 (alongside TVIX and ZIV). It is still trading OTC under the symbol VIIXF. It is due to expire on 4 December 2030.
VIIX Exposure and Basic Characteristics
VIIX is a VelocityShares VIX ETN that provides an exposure similar to long position in short-term VIX futures. It is therefore a proxy (though far from perfect) to the VIX (CBOE Volatility Index). VIIX is very similar to several other VIX ETFs and ETNs, such as VXX or VIXY (these two had been considerably more popular and more liquid than VIIX, even when VIIX was still exchange-traded).

Underlying index: S&P500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index ER

Product type: ETN (exchange traded note)
Issuer: Credit Suisse AG
Provider: VelocityShares
Inception date: 29 November 2010
