VanEck sets 0.2% fee for proposed spot Ethereum ETF
Add BT as a preferred source
INVESTMENT management firm VanEck plans to charge a fee of 0.2 per cent on its proposed spot Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF), according to a US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing on Friday (Jun 21).
The SEC approved applications from Nasdaq, CBOE and NYSE last month to list ETFs tied to the price of ether, potentially paving the way for the products to begin trading later this year.
Nine issuers, including VanEck, ARK Investments/21Shares and BlackRock, hope to launch ETFs tied to the second-largest cryptocurrency after the SEC approved bitcoin ETFs in a watershed moment for the industry in January.
