Our read on EZET
BFranklin's spot ether fund carries a 0% expense ratio in an aisle where the typical rival charges 0.25%. Same coin, same brokerage account, nothing skimmed off the top.
The fund is described as an actively managed exchange-traded fund.
Why people hold it
- Zero expense ratio against a 0.25% median for spot ether funds. It undercuts the whole group on fee, including ETH at 0.15% and ETHW at 0.20%.
- Simple plumbing: a grantor trust that holds ether itself. No futures roll, no leverage, no index tricks between you and the coin.
- Does the one job on the label, holding ether and tracking its price closely, and rates among the stronger implementations in the spot ether group.
- Trading since July 2024, run by Franklin Templeton rather than a crypto-only startup.
Worth knowing
- One of the smaller and less traded funds in the category, which can mean wider spreads and more care needed on larger orders.
- No distributions. Everything rides on ether's price, and that price swings hard in both directions.
- Short history: the fund, and the US spot ether category around it, only date to 2024, so there is limited track record across market cycles.
