Nine ETFs that hold ETH directly began trading on US exchanges Tuesday, marking another crypto investment milestone just half a year after the country’s debut of spot BTC funds.
Investors can choose between ETH products by BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, VanEck, Bitwise, 21Shares and Franklin Templeton, as well as one by Invesco and Galaxy Digital. Each ETF is available on either the Cboe, NYSE Arca or Nasdaq exchanges.
Grayscale has two spot ETH offerings: its Ethereum Trust (ETHE) and Mini Ethereum Trust (ETH), with fees of 2.5% and 0.15%, respectively. The latter ETF will start with roughly $1 billion in assets, given its design to receive 10% of the current assets in ETHE. The…

Conservatives vowed to bring sound money policy to Washington in 2025, but the battle for your financial freedom is closer to home than you would expect. States pioneered this effort, and should capitalize on this national momentum to defend American financial liberties locally.
This month, the Republican National Committee released a draft proposal for changes to the party platform that would assert the party’s stance against a central bank digital currency — also known as a CBDC or digital dollar — and in support of the right to mine, own, and privately transact in digital assets like Bitcoin.
Sound monetary policy has been a growing focus of the 2024 election as Republican…

Grayscale is set to enhance its cryptocurrency offerings, moving a significant $1 billion of Ethereum to Coinbase Prime in preparation for its new Ethereum ETF, slated to start trading this week. This strategic shift involves converting 10% of its Ethereum Trust holdings into the new ETF format, aiming to streamline investment processes and reduce fees for investors. This move is seen as a way to keep investments within the firm while offering lower-cost alternatives to its clientele.
Market analysts had speculated about potential sell-offs, but these were quickly dismissed by industry experts. Jon Campagna, from Nexyst Digital, emphasized that Grayscale is unlikely to divert from Ethereum to other cryptos like Solana, viewing the current strategy as a commitment to Ethereum.
Despite some concerns from trading firms about subdued demand, the anticipation remains high for the Ethereum ETF’s debut. Grayscale’s decision not to reduce its management fees—remaining at 2.5% compared to lower fees of new competitors—positions it uniquely in the burgeoning ETF market. The financial community watches closely, expecting this launch to influence broader adoption and valuation of Ethereum-based investment products.
The U.S. SEC issued the S-1 application effectiveness notice for the following ETFs and trusts:
- Grayscale Spot Ethereum Mini ETF
- INVESCO & GALAXY Spot Ethereum ETF
- Fidelity Spot Ethereum ETF
- 21SHARES Spot Ethereum ETF
- FRANKLIN Spot Ethereum ETF
- BlackRock Spot Ethereum ETF
- Grayscale Ethereum Trust
- Bitwise Ethereum ETF
- VanEck Ethereum ETF
