21Shares Ethereum ETF

The 21Shares Ethereum ETF is a physically-backed exchange-traded fund focused on providing direct exposure to ether, the native digital asset of the Ethereum blockchain. Designed as a passive investment vehicle, it seeks to closely track the performance of ether through the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate, a widely recognized benchmark that reflects spot prices across several major cryptocurrency exchanges. By holding ether in secure custody—primarily through offline cold storage mechanisms—the ETF offers investors institutional-grade security and transparency while removing the complexities of acquiring, storing, and managing digital wallets themselves. The fund’s structure allows investors to participate in the price movements of one of the largest and most influential cryptocurrencies, which underpins sectors such as decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Managed by 21Shares, a pioneer in crypto asset funds, this ETF plays a key role in broadening access to digital assets for both institutional and individual investors seeking regulated, exchange-traded exposure to the evolving crypto market.
