- Loss Comparison: Over the past year, the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) has experienced a 39.5% decline, while the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) has dropped by 30.3%, indicating greater volatility in ETHA which may affect investor risk appetite.
- Assets Under Management: With $10 billion in assets, ETHA, despite being relatively new, may attract investors confident in Ethereum due to its pure play strategy, reflecting ongoing market interest in digital assets.
- Fee Structure: Both ETFs charge an expense ratio of 0.25%, indicating no significant cost difference, which may lead investors to focus more on asset performance rather than fees when making choices.
- Market Acceptance: Following the collapse of major crypto platforms, the demand for crypto-tracking ETFs has surged, with FBTC and ETHA providing everyday investors a way to gain exposure without managing crypto wallets, potentially driving further adoption of such products.
