ETHE will initially be listed on the regulated SIX Swiss Exchange and has a base fee of 1.25%, establishing ETHE an attractive option for institutional investors looking for an accessible ethereum investment vehicle with a fee below the industry standard of 2%. The product will be readily available to investors as its AUM at launch surpasses the baseline requirements for institutional and corporate investment consideration.

Bringing innovative products like ETHE allows us to continue setting the industry standard for trust and transparency and provide institutions with easy access to industry leading crypto investment vehicles."

We have also seen an increase in investor interest in ethereum. We are encouraged by our client's trust in our team to guide them in their journey through the digital asset ecosystem, and for many, ethereum is an important part of that journey."
