Key features of the proposed Ethereum ETF
The fund would hold Ether on behalf of investors rather than using derivatives or futures. �
CoinMarketCap
It’s structured so that staking rewards earned on ETH holdings are reflected in the Net Asset Value (NAV), potentially increasing value for investors. �
