CETH builds on the Company’s mission to make
crypto assets more accessible, straightforward for investors, and
serves as a testament to the asset class’s global momentum
NEW YORK, July 23,
2024 – 21Shares US LLC ("21Shares"), an affiliate of
21Shares AG, one of the world’s largest issuers of crypto exchange
traded funds (ETFs), today announced the launch of the 21Shares
Core Ethereum ETF (CETH). CETH is not a fund registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), and is not
subject to regulation under the 1940 Act, unlike most exchange
traded products or ETFs. CETH is subject to significant risk and
heightened volatility. The fund is not suitable for all
investors.
With a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.21%, CETH’s investment
objective is to seek to track the performance of Ether (ETH), the
second-largest crypto asset by market capitalization. In addition,
CETH represents 21Shares’ latest addition to its growing lineup of
US products and underscores the firm’s growth and commitment to the
US market.
Ethereum is a decentralized smart-contract platform that
revolutionized the world of blockchain. ETH, the native crypto
asset of the network, is the fuel that allows Ethereum to operate
in the same way that we use oil to propel vehicles, heat buildings,
and produce electricity in the physical world. Much like Bitcoin,
Ethereum is a peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded
in a publicly available, decentralized ledger. What’s different
about Ethereum is that it launched out of Bitcoin’s initial
limitation as a simple settlement layer where people send and
receive coins. From the start, Ethereum positioned itself as the
infrastructure for building applications similar to websites or
mobile applications on top of a fully decentralized internet. In
other words, Ethereum provides a globally permissionless app store
and a platform for Web3 – a new iteration of the world wide web –
innovation.
Since 2018, 21Shares has pioneered the innovation of crypto
asset exchange traded products (ETPs) globally, with listings on
some of the biggest, most-liquid securities exchanges around the
world, including London Stock Exchange, Nasdaq OMX, Euronext Paris
and Amsterdam, Deutsche Börse Xetra, and SIX Swiss Exchange. This
allows investors to gain exposure to crypto through their existing
bank or brokerage, removes complexity around tax reporting, and
offers investors better custody and operational risk management
than holding physical crypto.
"21Shares is at the forefront of a financial revolution, as
investor demand for crypto asset ETF continues to ramp up in
lock-step with evolving regulatory frameworks around the world. Our
mission – to make crypto assets more accessible to investors, and
to bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized
finance – is now more attainable than ever. There is a growing
acceptance that crypto is here to stay and will play a role in the
evolution of the financial system,” said Ophelia Snyder, Co-founder
and President of 21Shares.
Synder continued, “While Bitcoin is often classified closely
with commodities, Ethereum presents a unique investment case. As a
platform that fuels innovation and powers the next generation of
the internet, Ethereum aligns more closely with technology
investments, marking an exciting potential opportunity for
investors. CETH, as the latest addition to 21Shares’ growing US
product lineup, represents an important step for crypto asset
accessibility to US investors and we’re thrilled to bring this
product to the US market.”
CETH is 21Shares’ seventh product in the US and underscores
21Shares’ continued growth in the US market, which now includes
over $3.2bn in assets under management and nearly 50 full-time
employees.
Since its inception, 21Shares has a track record of advancing
innovative crypto asset products, creating a bridge for investors
between traditional finance and decentralized finance, and has
demonstrated operational and client service excellence with a focus
on transparency, risk management, and sustainability.
