ETHA aims to track the spot price of Ether, less expenses and liabilities. It intends to provide accessibility to Ether without the complexities of acquiring, holding, and trading directly through a digital asset platform. The trust is backed by Ether held in cold storage, which is a safeguarding method by which the private keys corresponding to the trusts Ether are generated and stored offline, making them more resistant to hacking. Holdings are valued daily based on the CF Benchmarks Index, which serves as a once-a-day benchmark rate of Ether USD price, calculated as of 4:00 pm ET. The index aggregates the trade flow of several Ether platforms during an observation window, focusing on relevant transactions, as defined by the index provider. During its launch, the Issuer waived a portion of the fee. The funds expense ratio and tracking should be reviewed and considered for comparison purposes.
