Our read on ETH
In short
AThe cheap seat in spot ether. A grantor trust that does one thing (hold ether, track its index price) for 0.15% a year, well under the going rate for the category, from a 2024 launch class that is still finding its pecking order.
Stated mandate
The Trust passively seeks to have Shares, measured by Ether per Share, reflect the value of its Ether holdings using the Index Price, after expenses and other liabilities.
