The VanEck Ethereum ETF (ETHV) is a spot Ethereum exchange-traded product listed on Cboe BZX. It holds ether and gives investors exposure through shares held in a brokerage account.
How ETHV Works
ETHV seeks to reflect the price of ether, less its expenses. It does not stake its holdings. The fund handles custody, while retail investors trade shares on the exchange rather than hold ether in a wallet they control.
Fees and Risks
ETHV charges an annual sponsor fee of 0.20%. Its introductory fee waiver expired in July 2025. Brokerage charges and the bid/ask spread are additional potential costs.
Retail shareholders cannot redeem their shares directly for ether. The share price can differ from net asset value, and investors remain exposed to ether price losses and risks associated with holding crypto assets through a custodian.
