VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF Now Open for Trading

This actively managed ETF is designed to pursue capital appreciation through investments in Ethereum (ETH) futures contracts.

EFUT distinguishes itself by actively seeking capital appreciation via these futures contracts without directly investing in Ethereum or other digital assets. Instead, the fund will invest in standardized, cash-settled ETH futures contracts that are traded on commodity exchanges registered with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Currently, EFUT plans to focus its investments on ETH futures traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

This new offering is listed on the CBOE and will be overseen by Greg Krenzer, VanEck’s Head of Active Trading. What sets VanEck apart is its commitment to the Ethereum community. The company has pledged to contribute 10% of all profits generated by their forthcoming Ether Futures ETF to Ethereum core developers over the course of the next decade.

Actively Managed Ethereum Futures ETF with a Commitment to Development

Investors now have the opportunity to access Ethereum-linked investments through an exchange-traded vehicle in the form of the VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF. It’s a unique approach in the world of asset management, promising both returns for investors and support for Ethereum’s development.

This innovative fund is set to generate significant interest among those looking to diversify their portfolios in the fast-evolving world of cryptocurrencies.
