VanEck anunță lansarea Ethereum Futures ETF (EFUT)

VanEck, a renowned player in the financial markets, has unveiled its plans to launch the VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF (EFUT). This actively managed exchange-traded fund is strategically designed to target capital appreciation through investments in Ethereum (ETH) futures contracts. Notably, EFUT will not directly invest in ETH or any other digital assets.

The fund’s investment strategy revolves around standardized, cash-settled ETH futures contracts. These contracts are actively traded on commodity exchanges that are registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It’s worth mentioning that, at present, EFUT primarily intends to engage with ETH futures traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

EFUT will be listed for trading on the CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange) and will be under the active management of Greg Krenzer, who serves as the Head of Active Trading at VanEck. With over two decades of experience in trading across various asset categories, including futures, Mr. Krenzer brings a wealth of expertise to the fund’s management.

This strategic move to introduce EFUT complements VanEck’s existing offering, the VanEck Bitcoin Strategy ETF (XBTF), which also focuses on futures contracts related to digital assets. Both EFUT and XBTF follow a C-Corp. structure, offering a potentially more tax-efficient experience for long-term investors. Notably, XBTF does not directly invest in Bitcoin (BTC) or other digital assets.

VanEck is renowned for its forward-thinking approach in the financial markets, consistently identifying trends that create impactful investment opportunities. With a history of pioneering access to international markets, the firm has played a pivotal role in shaping the investment management industry. From gold investing in 1968 to emerging markets in 1993 and exchange-traded funds in 2006, VanEck’s commitment to innovation is evident.

As of August 31, 2023, VanEck manages approximately $80.8 billion in assets, spanning mutual funds, ETFs, and institutional accounts. The firm offers a diverse range of active and passive investment strategies, backed by robust investment processes. These strategies cater to various investment needs, from core opportunities to specialized exposures, enhancing portfolio diversification. VanEck’s active strategies are driven by in-depth research and security selection, led by portfolio managers with direct experience in their respective sectors and regions.

Since its inception in 1955, VanEck has prioritized its clients’ interests, regardless of market conditions, underscoring its core mission.
