Crypto ETFs & ETPs

Ethereum ETP: ether inside your brokerage account

An ether ETP lets you hold ETH through an ordinary securities account, without a wallet or exchange account. It is a listed debt security backed by real ether at a custodian.

Structure
Physically backed ETP with segregated custody

Figures are indicative and checked periodically. Always verify the ISIN, ongoing charges and index in the issuer's latest KID and factsheet before you invest.

The structure

Each certificate corresponds to a fixed amount of ether held in segregated custody, overseen by an independent trustee.

Staking changes the maths

Some issuers stake part of the collateral and pass the yield back as lower fees, at the cost of exit queues and slashing risk.

What you do not get

No private keys: no DeFi, no self-staking, no transfers to your own wallet.

Frequently asked questions

Is a European crypto ETP an ETF?

No. UCITS does not allow single-asset crypto funds, so these are collateralised debt securities.
