The Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) has seen significant gains following the filing of applications for a spot Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) by ARK Invest and VanEck. Despite a drop in the price of ETH, the discount of ETHE to net asset value (NAV) has narrowed to 26%. This suggests that the market is anticipating the conversion of ETHE into an ETF, following the push from other companies in the industry. In fact, ETHE has recorded a more than 140% increase in 2023, indicating its strong performance even in the face of a decline in the price of Ether.
On September 6, ARK Invest took a crucial step towards launching the first spot Ether ETF in the US. The asset management firm filed an S-1 with the SEC for the ARK21Shares Ethereum ETF, which will track the performance of ETH. Coinbase will serve as the custodian of the ETF, holding all of its ETH, while 21Shares is the trust’s sponsor. The ETF will be marketed by ARK Invest, which will also serve as the sub-adviser. This move, along with VanEck’s filing, caused excitement in the crypto market, leading to a temporary increase in the prices of bitcoin and ETH. Meanwhile, ETHE continued to thrive, narrowing the discount to its underlying ETH by a significant margin.
