This fund multiplies its index's move each day and resets that multiple daily. Because daily returns compound, its long-run return can differ from the headline multiple.

Our read on ETHU

ETF.net Research

DOne of the first US funds built to deliver twice ether's daily move, using ether futures inside an ordinary brokerage account. Heavily traded, richly priced, and engineered for single days rather than long holds.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks before-fee investment results equal to twice the daily performance of ether, for a single day, primarily through managed exposure to ether futures contracts.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Does one thing clearly: aims for twice ether's daily performance before fees, primarily through ether futures, inside a registered 1940 Act fund. No margin account, no rolling your own leverage.
  2. 02Among the most actively traded funds in the leveraged crypto group, which matters for a product most people hold for hours or days rather than years.
  3. 03Live since June 2024, an early entrant in 2x ether, and now a fund with hundreds of millions in assets. It also makes distributions on a monthly schedule.

Worth knowing

  1. 01At 2.97% a year, this sits at the expensive end of leveraged crypto. ETHT targets the same 2x ether exposure for 1.02%.
  2. 02The 2x target resets daily. Hold past one session and returns compound off each day's close, so multi-day results can diverge sharply from twice ether's move, especially in choppy markets.
  3. 03Day to day it has tracked its 2x target less tightly than the closest implementations in its peer group, a gap that comes on top of the fee.

ETHU Risk

This fund targets a multiple of the daily move of its index and resets daily. Hold it longer than one reset and compounding makes the return diverge from that target. In choppy markets it can lose value even when the index ends flat.
