Many big asset
managers have filed fresh applications to launch Ether futures ETFs to United
States customers.
Separate
filings submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) outline
respective applications from Grayscale, VanEck, Bitwise, Volatility Shares,
ProShares and Round Hill Capital.
Grayscale’s
filing includes two applications: a proposed Grayscale Global Bitcoin Composite
ETF and a Grayscale Ethereum Futures ETF.
Grayscale’s
Ether ETF will invest in futures contracts that are set to be traded on the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
Volatility
Shares outlined plans to list an Ether futures ETF, investing its assets in
cash-settled contracts referencing ETH trading on the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange.
VanEck’s
filing indicates that its investment strategy will look to invest in ETH
futures contracts so that the value of ETH that the fund has exposure to is
equal to 100% of the total assets of the fund.
ProShares
gave an overview of their Short Ether Strategy ETF, which will invest in daily
contracts that look to profit on losses of the S&P CME Ether Futures index.
These
applications come in the wake of recent applications from various mainstream
asset management firms looking to launch Bitcoin ETFs.
