BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA), begins trading
today on Nasdaq. ETHA seeks to track the price of Ethereum’s native
token, ether, and carries a 0.25% sponsor fee with a one-year
waiver reducing the fee to 0.12% on the first $2.5B assets under
management (AUM)1.
“The robust demand for the iShares Bitcoin Trust underscores
investors’ preference to access a cryptoasset through the
convenience of the iShares investment platform. The launch of the
iShares Ethereum Trust ETF has enabled us to now provide investors
access to the two largest cryptocurrencies by market cap,” said Jay
Jacobs, U.S. Head of Thematic and Active ETFs.
The iShares Ethereum Trust ETF is underpinned by the same
institutional grade technology and risk management expertise used
for iShares’ 1,400+ ETFs globally.
“The launch of the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF adds to our
digital assets offering and simplifies investor access to an asset
that has the potential to support a different and wide range of
blockchain applications,” said Robert Mitchnick, Global Head of
Digital Assets at BlackRock. “This latest offering is a testament
of our commitment to driving innovation for our clients.”
ETHA follows the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which was
launched in January 2024. BlackRock’s digital assets product suite
demonstrates the firm’s ongoing dedication to giving clients access
to new and evolving corners of the market.

net asset value of the Trust for the first $2.5 billion of the

Sponsor’s Fee will be 0.25%.
Important Information
This information must be accompanied or preceded by a
current iShares Ethereum Trust ETF prospectus and
iShares Bitcoin Trust Prospectus. Please read the
prospectuses carefully before investing.
The iShares Trusts are not investment companies registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and therefore are not
subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds or ETFs
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Investments in
these products are speculative and involve a high degree of
risk.
Investing involves a high degree of risk, including possible
loss of principal. An investment in the Trust is not suitable for
all investors, may be deemed speculative and is not intended as a
complete investment program. An investment in Shares should be
considered only by persons who can bear the risk of total loss
associated with an investment in the Trust.
Investing in digital assets involves significant risks due to
their extreme price volatility and the potential for loss, theft,
or compromise of private keys. The value of the shares is closely
tied to acceptance, industry developments, and governance changes,
making them susceptible to market sentiment. Digital assets
represent a new and rapidly evolving industry, and the value of the
Shares depends on their acceptance. Changes in the governance of a
digital asset network may not receive sufficient support from users
and miners, which may negatively affect that digital asset
network’s ability to grow and respond to challenges Investing in
the Trust comes with risks that could impact the Trust's share
value, including large-scale sales by major investors, security
threats like breaches and hacking, negative sentiment among
speculators, and competition from central bank digital currencies
and financial initiatives using blockchain technology. A disruption
of the internet or a digital asset network would affect the ability
to transfer digital assets and, consequently, would impact their
value. There can be no assurance that security procedures designed
to protect the Trust’s assets will actually work as designed or
prove to be successful in safeguarding the Trust’s assets against
all possible sources of theft, loss or damage.
The Trust(s) may incur certain extraordinary, non-recurring
expenses that are not assumed by the Sponsor.
