Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

GAVABGrayscale Avalanche Staking ETF

XRPZAFranklin XRP ETF

In short

GAVA Single-token AVAX exposure with a twist: the trust stakes the coins it holds and seeks to add more Avalanche to the pile rather than pay cash out. It started life as a 2024 private placement before it ever had a Nasdaq ticker.

XRPZ No data

Stated mandate

GAVA The Trust seeks exposure to the value of Avalanche held by the Trust, net of operating expenses, and also seeks to obtain additional Avalanche through staking.

XRPZ No data

Why people hold it

  • GAVA Staking is written into the mandate, not bolted on: the trust seeks additional AVAX by staking what it holds, and those rewards accrue inside the fund.grayscale.com
  • The 0.35% expense ratio sits right at the median for spot crypto funds, and within a hair of the other Avalanche fund, BAVA at 0.34%.
  • The vehicle predates the ticker. It launched as a private placement in 2024 and later uplisted to Nasdaq, so the operating history runs longer than the listing does.theblock.co
  • Direct spot holdings of AVAX, run by Grayscale, whose digital asset platform spans dozens of listed and private crypto products.globenewswire.com

XRPZ No data

Worth knowing

  • GAVA It is a grantor trust, not a 1940 Act fund, so the protections of a registered ETF do not apply. Grayscale flags a high degree of risk and possible loss of the entire investment.grayscale.com
  • One token, one network, and nothing paid out: staking rewards go to the trust rather than to shareholders as distributions.grayscale.com
  • Small asset base and light trading, which can mean wider spreads and more effort behind a large order.
