FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Current report
Ethereum (ETH) posted a strong recovery in the second quarter of 2025, climbing over 35% and delivering meaningful gains for the Trust. The rebound followed a challenging first quarter and was largely driven by improving investor sentiment after President Trump delayed the implementation of his “Liberation Day” tariffs by 90 days, easing macroeconomic pressures. A surge in stablecoin issuance and the expansion of real-world asset tokenization also helped boost demand across the Ethereum ecosystem. Staking activity reached all-time highs, introducing deflationary dynamics that supported price momentum and underscored long-term conviction among holders. Confidence was further reinforced by progress on the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act), signaling a more constructive regulatory environment. Meanwhile, the Pectra upgrade, with enhancements to security, user experience, and scalability, marked Ethereum’s most significant enhancement since its transition to Proof-of-Stake and was well received by the market. Institutional interest in Ethereum also continued to build, contributing to positive momentum throughout the quarter.
Current report
Ethereum (ETH) experienced a volatile first half of 2025, with sharp losses in the first quarter followed by a strong rebound in the second quarter. Ether declined by over 45% in the first quarter, driven by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, a broad selloff in risky assets, and the ByBit hack in late February, which severely dented investor confidence in the Ethereum network. Despite these headwinds, the second quarter saw a meaningful recovery, with ether rising more than 35% as broad market risk sentiment improved. The delay of President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs helped ease market pressures, while a surge in stablecoin issuance, real-world asset tokenization, and record high staking activity supported renewed demand. Regulatory developments also played a key role, with continued momentum from the President’s “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology” executive order and progress on the GENIUS Act reinforcing optimism. The Pectra upgrade, Ethereum’s most notable improvement since its transition to Proof-of-Stake, further boosted confidence with enhancements to security, user experience, and scalability. Lastly, institutional participation continued to grow as illustrated by renewed inflows into U.S. spot Ethereum exchange-traded products in the second quarter, helping ether regain its ground.
Current report
On June 17, 2024, the Trust was seeded with $100,000 through the sale of 4,000 Shares (“Initial Seed Shares”) at a per-Share price of $25.00 by the Trust to Invesco Ltd. Through June 30, 2024, the Trust had no operations other than those related to its organization and registration and the sale of the Initial Seed Shares.

Previous report
Ethereum (ETH) fell sharply in the first quarter of 2025, down over 50% and leading to significant losses for the Trust. While prices initially continued their year-end 2024 rally driven by the excitement from President Trump’s election, mounting economic concerns took the center stage for the rest of the quarter. The nosedive in U.S. financial markets eroded investor risk appetite which triggered a flight to safe havens and outflows from U.S. crypto ETPs. Another major headwind was the ByBit hack in late February, which dealt a heavy blow to ETH because it was the digital asset that was exploited. This took a major toll on investor confidence in ETH, and prevented it from regaining ground amid the broader market downturn. Despite the negative price action, regulatory progress for digital assets continued to provide optimism for the broader asset class. Most notably, President Trump signed the “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology” executive order, which ordered the establishment of a strategic bitcoin reserve and digital assets stockpile, SAB 121 was repealed, and crypto-friendly policymakers were either nominated or appointed to the SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the two primary U.S. regulators for the crypto space.
