Re: Tidal Trust II (the "Trust")
Post-Effective Amendments ("PEA") No. 314 and 343 to the Trust's Registration Statement on Form N-1A (the "Amendments")
File Nos. 811-23793; 333-264478
Dear Mr. Be:
This correspondence responds to comments the Trust
received from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Staff" or the "Commission") on June
17, 2025, with respect to the registration statement of the Defiance MAGA Seven ETF (the "Fund"). PEA 314 was filed on February
19, 2025, and subsequently withdrawn on April 11, 2025. PEA 343 was filed on April 25, 2025 for the primary purpose of removing a named
sub-adviser to the Fund. For your convenience, the comments have been reproduced with responses following each comment. Capitalized terms
not otherwise defined have the same meaning as in the Amendments.
1. Please supplementally provide the Fund's fee table prior to the registration statement going
effective.
Response: The requested fee table
is provided at Appendix A to this response letter.
2. Please supplementally explain why the Fund primarily uses swaps versus direct equity investments.
Response: The Trust responds supplementally
that the Fund's use of swaps is driven by its intention to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company ("RIC")
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which limits the Fund's ability to invest in a small number of issuers. By
utilizing swaps, the Fund is able to gain the targeted exposure to each of the seven companies in the portfolio, while still qualifying
as a RIC through its holdings in collateral investments which are used to support the swap positions.
If you have any questions or require further information,
please contact John Hadermayer at (262) 318-8236 or jhadermayer@tidalfg.com.
Sincerely,
/s/ John Hadermayer

has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example does not take into account brokerage
