Re:
Tidal Trust II (the “Trust”)
Post-Effective Amendment No. 242 to the Trust’s Registration
Statement on Form N-1A (the “Amendment”)
File Nos. 811-23793; 333-264478
Dear Ms. White:
This correspondence responds to a comment the
Trust received from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff” or the “Commission”)
on August 26, 2024, with respect to the Registration Statement and the Trust’s proposed new series, the Defiance Large Cap ex-Mag
7 ETF (the “Fund”). For your convenience, the comment has been reproduced with a response following the comment. Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined have the same meaning as in the Registration Statement.
1. If there is a licensing agreement governing the Fund’s use of the
Index, please confirm that you will file it as an Exhibit to the Fund’s registration statement.
Response: The Trust confirms that a licensing
agreement for the Index exists, but it is between the Index provider and the Fund’s adviser. To clarify,
neither the Trust nor the Fund is a party to this licensing agreement. Therefore, it is not considered
a material contract required to be included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
2. Please supplementally provide the Staff with a Fee Table and Expense
Example pre-effectively.
Response: The Fund’s completed Fees
and Expenses table and Expense Example are as shown in the attached Appendix A.
3. Please disclose in principal strategies, like in the SAI, that the Fund
will concentrate to approximately the same extent as the Index. Please also add risk disclosures to this effect.
Response: The Trust confirms that the Prospectus has been supplemented
to add such disclosures.
4. Please supplementally provide the Staff with the Index methodology or
White Paper.
Response: The Trust provided the Staff with the Index’s white
paper supplementally via email on October 3, 2024.
5. Please disclose how often and when the Fund will be reconstituted. Will
it be in accordance with the Index?
Response: The Trust confirms that the Prospectus has been revised to
reflect that the Fund will be reconstituted in accordance with the Index’s reconstitution schedule.

any borrowings made for investment purposes, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other
expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses,

Expense Example
This Example is intended to help you compare
the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for
the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example does not take into account
brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based
on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 Year
3 Years
$56
$176
