iShares Ethereum Trust ETF

iShares Ethereum Trust ETF is a digital-asset exchange-traded product designed to provide direct exposure to ether, the native token of the Ethereum network. The vehicle seeks to reflect the performance of the price of ether by holding ETH and tracking the CME CF Ether–Dollar Reference Rate – New York Variant, offering a regulated, brokerage-based avenue to access the asset without managing private keys or crypto custody. The trust is sponsored by iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC, charges a 0.25% sponsor fee, and does not engage in staking, focusing solely on spot ether exposure. Its structure is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, distinguishing it from traditional ’40 Act ETFs while maintaining institutional-grade custody and operations. By translating on-chain value into a familiar fund format, iShares Ethereum Trust ETF serves investors seeking operational convenience, transparent pricing, and integration with standard portfolio tools, and plays a growing role in bridging traditional markets with the Ethereum economy across use cases such as decentralized finance, stablecoin infrastructure, and tokenization.
