It is used to gain exposure to companies that generate at least 50% of their revenue from digital asset services and products, such as exchanges, payment gateways, mining operations, software services, and equipment. The fund is structured as an accumulating ETF, meaning dividends are reinvested rather than distributed, which increases the share price over time. (Security) - [VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF (ETHV)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/VanEck): ETHV is a spot Ethereum ETF issued by VanEck, listed on Cboe. It is used to gain direct price exposure to Ether through a traditional brokerage account, with shares valued daily against the MarketVector Ethereum Benchmark Rate. Unlike futures-based ETFs, ETHV directly holds ETH in cold storage with a qualified custodian, meaning its performance closely tracks the spot price without the drag of rolling futures contracts.
