VanEck ETF adjusts Ethereum index composition

VanEck Ethereum ETF (Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.:ETHV), a Delaware-incorporated exchange-traded fund currently trading at $32.07, has made changes to the composition of its benchmark rate, according to a recent 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. For detailed analysis and real-time updates, InvestingPro subscribers can access comprehensive ETF metrics and expert insights. The MarketVectorTM Ethereum Benchmark Rate, the index that the ETF tracks, underwent a reconstitution on December 2, 2024, which involved the replacement of two constituent trading platforms.

The index sponsor and administrator, MarketVector Indexes GmbH, removed Bitfinex and LMAX from the index’s calculation and added Bullish and Gemini in their place. With this update, the platforms currently comprising the index are Bitstamp, Bullish, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), Gemini, and Kraken. This change is part of the ongoing adjustments the index sponsor makes to reflect the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency trading platforms.

The VanEck Ethereum ETF, which trades under the ticker symbol ETHV, is designed to provide exposure to the performance of Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. The ETF’s performance is directly linked to the MarketVector Ethereum Benchmark Rate, and the adjustments to the index’s constituents are intended to ensure that the benchmark rate remains representative of the market for Ethereum.

Investors in the ETF should note that the rebalancing of the index may affect the performance of the fund. The ETF has seen challenging performance metrics, with a -34.31% YTD return and trading volume averaging 0.12M shares daily. The fund currently trades within its 52-week range of $29.25 to $60.29. InvestingPro offers extensive technical analysis and performance metrics to help investors navigate these market changes.

The fund’s performance metrics and detailed analysis are available to InvestingPro subscribers, along with real-time alerts and expert insights.
