Grayscale Ethereum ETF adjusts index constituents

Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (NYSE Arca:ETH), currently trading at $18.83 with a market capitalization of $954.54 million, has announced changes to the composition of its index. According to InvestingPro data, the ETF has experienced significant price movements, down nearly 38% year-to-date. On Monday, the trust’s Index Provider, CoinDesk Indices, Inc., amended the Constituent Trading Platforms that contribute to the CoinDesk Ether Price Index (ETX).

Effective March 23, 2025, Bullish was added to the index as a constituent trading platform after meeting the Index Provider’s minimum liquidity requirements. Concurrently, LMAX Digital was removed from the index for failing to meet these liquidity standards. The Index now includes Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), Kraken, Crypto.com, and Bullish as the digital asset trading platforms that determine the Index Price.

CoinDesk Indices conducts quarterly reviews to reassess the constituent platforms of the index, during which additions or removals may occur based on the platforms’ adherence to the Index Provider’s liquidity criteria. These criteria are detailed in the Trust’s Annual Report, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 27, 2025.

The Index Provider reserves the right to modify the trading venues used for calculating the Index Price or to change the Index Price calculation method at any time. These adjustments are part of the Trust’s ongoing efforts to reflect the most accurate market value of Ethereum. With an average daily trading volume of 1.74 million USD over the past three months and notable price volatility, investors seeking deeper insights can access additional analysis and metrics through InvestingPro, which offers comprehensive financial health scores and market momentum indicators.

The information is based on the latest 8-K filing by Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, as the Sponsor of Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF, with the SEC. The filing was signed by Edward McGee, Chief Financial Officer of Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC.
