Ethereum spot ETFs

Ethereum spot ETFs

Back in January the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved Bitcoin ETFs listed on US exchanges tracking the spot price for Bitcoin. We have the full list of Bitcoin ETFs here.

Now in late July they approved spot Ethereum ETFs and eight are already trading.

Ethereum has the second largest crypto coin market cap, after Bitcoin, and recently moved to proof of stake. This is in contrast to the high energy usage of Bitcoins proof of work. The Ethereum blockchain doesn’t only hold Ether coins, it’s also has decentralised apps and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

The eight new Ethereum spot ETFs are detailed below. Note the TERs are in many cases an introductory rate and may move higher in time.

Franklin Ethereum Trust (EZET) 0.19%
VanEck Ethereum Trust (ETHV) 0.20%
