This ETF will track the current price of Ethereum, offering investors a convenient way to invest in the popular digital asset without the need to directly own Ethereum or manage a crypto wallet. With the ability to buy and sell shares like stocks, this Ethereum ETF opens up new opportunities for both institutional and retail investors.
