what's ishares ethereum trust etf?
The iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) is an exchange-traded fund launched by BlackRock under its iShares brand, designed to provide investors with exposure to the price performance of ether, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain. Structured as a Delaware statutory trust, the ETF holds physical ether custodied by Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC, allowing shares to trade on stock exchanges like traditional ETFs. This setup enables investors to gain indirect access to Ethereum's ecosystem without directly managing cryptocurrency wallets or private keys, simplifying participation in the digital asset space through familiar brokerage accounts. The trust's operations are overseen by BlackRock Fund Advisors as trustee and iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC as sponsor, with ether purchases and sales managed to track the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate. Unlike mutual funds, it is not subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, which influences its regulatory framework and risk disclosures. Investors should note the inherent volatility of ether and associated risks like custody, regulatory changes, and market liquidity. By mirroring ether's spot price minus fees and expenses, ETHA serves as a tool for portfolio diversification into cryptocurrencies, appealing to those interested in Ethereum's role in decentralized applications, smart contracts, and blockchain innovation.
iShares Ethereum Trust ETF was long leg in a $450M trade liquidated Feb 6; $0M outflow Feb 4.
