#ETHCrossed2500 An Ethereum ETF (ETH ETF) is an exchange-traded fund that aims to provide investors with exposure to Ethereum (ETH), either through:
1. Spot ETH ETFs – These directly hold Ethereum.
2. Futures ETH ETFs – These invest in Ethereum futures contracts, which are agreements to buy/sell ETH at a future date for a set price.
Current Status (as of May 2025):
Ethereum futures ETFs are already trading in the U.S., such as those from ProShares and VanEck.
Spot Ethereum ETFs have not yet been approved by the U.S. SEC, but several major asset managers (like BlackRock and Grayscale) have filed applications.
Outside the U.S., Canada and some European countries have spot ETH ETFs available.
Benefits:
Simplifies ETH investment (no wallet needed)
Offers regulated, traditional market exposure
Suitable for institutional investors
