Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

September 30, 2026

Note 1 – Organization

Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on September 27, 2023, pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the “DSTA”). The Trust continuously issues common shares representing fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Trust (“Shares”). The Trust operates pursuant to its Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2024 (the “Trust Agreement”). CSC Delaware Trust Company, a Delaware trust company, is the Delaware trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”). The Trust is managed and controlled by Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Sponsor”).

The Trust offers Shares only to certain eligible financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”) inone or more blocks of 5,000 Shares (“Creation Baskets”) based on the quantity of ether attributable to each Share of the Trust. The Trust has an unlimited number of shares authorized for issuance. The Trust commenced trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”) on July 23, 2024.

The Trust’s investment objective is to reflect the performance of the spot price of ether as measured using the Lukka Prime Ethereum Reference Rate (the “Benchmark”), less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust holds ether. Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC (the “Ethereum Custodian”) holds all of the Trust’s ether on the Trust’s behalf as Ethereum Custodian.

The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), the Trust’s “Administrator,” calculates, and the Sponsor publishes, the Trust’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) once each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Administrator totals the current market value of ether in the Trust and any other assets, and subtracts any liabilities including accrued but unpaid expenses. The Trust’s NAV is an amount denominated in U.S. dollars.

This Quarterly Report (the “Report”) covers the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim period financial statements have been made. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2026.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Trust have been prepared using U.S. GAAP. The Trust is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP for financial statement purposes and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies, but is not registered, and is not required to be registered, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

B.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the Trust monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are issued.

C. Segment Reporting

The Trust represents asingle operating segment, in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Subject to the oversight and, when applicable, approval of the Board of Managers, portfolio managers and senior executives at the Sponsor act as the Trust’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation within the Trust. The CODM monitors the operating results as a whole, and the Trust’s long-term strategic asset allocation is determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus based on a defined investment strategy. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Trust’s financial statements.

D.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Trust defines cash as cash held by the Cash Custodian (as defined below). There wereno cash equivalents held by the Trust as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

E.

Investment Valuations

The Trust applies FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, in the valuation of ether held by the Trust and for financial statement purposes. The fair market value price for ether reflects the price that would be received for ether in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date of ether on its “principal market,” generally, the most advantageous market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. The Trust determines its principal market (or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market) on a periodic basis to determine which market is its principal market for the purpose of calculating fair value for the creation of quarterly and annual financial statements. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an investment’s fair value.

F.

Investment Transactions

Ether transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses from the sale or disposition of ether are determined on a specific identification basis and recognized in the Statements of Income and Expenses in the period in which the sale or disposition occurs, respectively.

G.

Routine Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses

The Sponsor is responsible for all routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Trust, including, but not limited to, the Trustee’s fees, the fees of BNYM (the Administrator and the “Transfer Agent”) (for its services as the Administrator, Transfer Agent, and Cash Custodian (defined herein)), the fees of the Ethereum Custodian, the fees of Galaxy Digital Funds LLC (the “Execution Agent”), Exchange listing fees, SEC registration fees, printing and mailing costs, legal costs and audit fees. The Trust does not reimburse the Sponsor for the routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Trust. Accordingly, such expenses are not reflected in the Statements of Income and Expenses of the Trust.

H.

Non-Recurring Fees and Expenses

In certain cases, the Trust will pay for some expenses in addition to the Sponsor Fee (defined herein). These exceptions include expenses not assumed by the Sponsor (i.e., expenses other than those identified in Section G of this Note 2), litigation and indemnification expenses, judgments, transactional expenses, taxes and other expenses not expected to be incurred in the ordinary course of the Trust’s business. The only expenses of the Trust during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were the Sponsor Fee.

I.

Federal Income Taxes

The Sponsor intends to take the position that the Trust is properly treated as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming that the Trust is a grantor trust, the Trust will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax and, therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Rather, if the Trust is a grantor trust, each beneficial owner of Shares will be treated as directly owning its pro rata share of the Trust’s assets and a pro rata portion of the Trust’s income, gain, losses and deductions will “flow through” to each beneficial owner of Shares.

Note 3 – Concentration Risk

Unlike other funds that may invest in diversified assets, the Trust’s investment strategy is concentrated in a single asset: ether. This concentration maximizes the degree of the Trust’s exposure to a variety of market risks associated with ether, including the rise or fall in its price, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly. By concentrating its investment strategy solely in ether, any losses suffered as a result of a decrease in the value of ether can be expected to reduce the value of an interest in the Trust proportionatelyand will not be offset by other gains if the Trust were to invest in underlying assets that were diversified. There is no assurance that ether will maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future. In the event that the price of ether declines, the Sponsor expectsthe value of an investment in the Shares to decline proportionately. Each of these events could have a material effect on the Trust’s financial position and the results of its operations.

Note 4 – Service Providers and Related Party Agreements

The Trustee

CSC Delaware Trust Company, a Delaware trust company, acts as the Trustee of the Trust as required to create a Delaware statutory trust in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the DSTA. Under the Trust Agreement, the duties of the Trustee are limited to (i) accepting legal process served on the Trust in the State of Delaware and (ii) at the direction of the Sponsor, the execution of any certificates required to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware which the Trustee is required to execute under the DSTA.

The Sponsor

Invesco Capital Management LLC is the Sponsor of the Trust. The Sponsor arranged for the creation of the Trust and is responsible for the ongoing registration of the Shares for their public offering, the listing of Shares on the Exchange and valuing the ether held by the Trust. The Sponsor is a limited liability company formed in the state of Delaware on February 7, 2003, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. Invesco Ltd. and its subsidiaries, including the Sponsor, are an independent global investment management group.

The Trust pays the Sponsor a unified fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the daily total net assets of the Trust as compensation for services performed under the Trust Agreement. The Trust’s only ordinary recurring expense is the Sponsor Fee. The Sponsor Fee is accrued daily and paid monthly in arrears on the first day the Exchange is open for regular trading (a “Business Day”) of the month in U.S. dollars, and is calculated by the Administrator. The Sponsor also paid the costs of the Trust’s organization.

To cover the Sponsor Fee, and extraordinary expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, the Sponsor or its delegate will cause the Trust (or its delegate) to instruct the Execution Agent to convert ether held by the Trust into U.S. dollars. Extraordinary expenses include, but are not limited to, taxes and governmental charges, any applicable brokerage commissions, financing fees, Ethereum network fees and similar transaction fees, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Sponsor (or any other service provider) on behalf of the Trust to protect the Trust or the interests of Shareholders (including, for example, in connection with any fork of the Ethereum blockchain), any indemnification of the Sponsor, Cash Custodian, Ethereum Custodian, Administrator or other agents, service providers or counterparties of the Trust and extraordinary legal fees and expenses, including any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigation, regulatory enforcement or investigation matters. The NAV of the Trust and the number of ether represented by a Share will decline each time the Trust accrues the Sponsor Fee or any Trust expenses not assumed by the Sponsor. The Trust is not responsible for paying any costs associated with the transfer of ether to or from the Trust in connection with paying the Sponsor Fee or in connection with creation and redemption transactions.

The Administrator

BNYM serves as the Trust’s Administrator. Under the trust administration and accounting agreement, the Administrator provides necessary administrative, tax and accounting services and financial reporting for the maintenance and operations of the Trust, including calculating the NAV of the Trust, determining the net assets of the Trust, and calculating the size of creation baskets.

The Transfer Agent

BNYM also serves as the Transfer Agent for the Trust. The Transfer Agent is responsible for (1) issuing and redeeming Shares in connection with creation and redemption transactions, (2) responding to correspondence by Shareholders and others relating to its duties, (3) maintaining Shareholder accounts and (4) making periodic reports to the Trust.

The Ethereum Custodian

Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC serves as the Trust’s Ethereum Custodian. Under the Ethereum Custody Agreement, the Ethereum Custodian is responsible for (1) safekeeping all of the ether owned by the Trust, (2) opening an account that holds the Trust’s ether and (3) facilitating the transfer of ether required for the operation of the Trust, as directed by the Sponsor. The Ethereum Custodian is chartered as a limited purpose trust company by the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYSDFS”) and is authorized by the NYSDFS to provide digital asset custody services. The Ethereum Custodian is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinbase Global, Inc.

The Cash Custodian

BNYM serves as the Trust’s cash custodian (the “Cash Custodian”). Under the Cash Custody Agreement, the Cash Custodian is responsible for holding the Trust’s cash in connection with creation and redemption transactions effected in cash. The Cash Custodian is a New York state-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System.

The Marketing Agent

Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Marketing Agent”) is responsible for: (1) working with the Transfer Agent to review and approve, or reject, purchase and redemption orders of Creation Baskets placed by Authorized Participants with the Transfer Agent; and (2) reviewing and approving the marketing materials prepared by the Trust for compliance with applicable SEC and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority advertising laws, rules, and regulations.

The Execution Agent

The Sponsor has entered into an agreement with Galaxy Digital Funds LLC, a subsidiary of Galaxy Digital LP (“Galaxy”), to serve as Execution Agent. The Trust from time to time will be required to sell ether in such quantities as necessary to permit payment of the Sponsor Fee and any Trust expenses and liabilities not assumed by the Sponsor. The Sponsor has engaged the Execution Agent to sell ether on the Trust’s behalf in such circumstances. The Sponsor or its delegate will cause the Trust (or its delegate) to instruct the Execution Agent to sell ether at approximately the price at which it is valued by the Trust and in the smallest amounts required to permit such payments as they become due, with the intention of minimizing the Trust’s holdings of assets other than ether. Accordingly, the amount of ether to be sold may vary from time to time depending on the level of the Trust’s expenses and liabilities and the market price of ether. The Trust also may utilize the services of the Execution Agent to purchase or sell ether in connection with cash creations and redemptions.

In addition, as part of this agreement, the Execution Agent has agreed to co-brand and co-market the Trust, and the Sponsor has licensed the use of certain Galaxy trademarks, service marks and trade names in connection with the Trust.

Galaxy is a subsidiary of Galaxy Digital Holdings LP (“Galaxy Holdings”). Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd., which holds a limited partner interest in Galaxy Holdings, is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “GLXY.”

Note 5 – Organization and Offering Costs

The Sponsor has agreed to pay the organizational and initial offering costs of the Trust and the Trust will not be obligated to reimburse the Sponsor. The organizational and initial offering costs include preparation and filing of incorporation documents, bylaws, declarations of trust, registration statements, board materials, state and federal registration of shares and audit fees. As a result, the Trust’s financial statements do not reflect these organizational and offering costs.

Note 6 – Additional Valuation Information

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods or market conditions may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

Level 1: Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2: Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3: Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Trust’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the investments in the Trust were valued based on Level 1 inputs. The levels assigned to the investment valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those investments. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 7 – Investments in Ether

The Trust expects to purchase or sell ether in connection with cash creation or redemption transactions, and may sell ether to pay certain expenses, including the Sponsor Fee.

Note 8 – Share Purchases and Redemptions

The Trust processes all creations and redemptions of Shares in transactions with Authorized Participants. When the Trust issues or redeems its Shares, it does so only in Creation Baskets based on the quantity of ether attributable to each Share of the Trust (net of accrued but unpaid Sponsor fees and any accrued but unpaid expenses or liabilities). Creation and redemption transactions are conducted in exchange for ether in-kind or cash. Authorized Participants are the only persons that may place orders to create and redeem Creation Baskets. Authorized Participants must be (1) registered broker-dealers or other securities market participants, such as banks or other financial institutions, that are not required to register as broker-dealers to engage in securities transactions as described below, and (2) participants in DTC such as banks, dealers and trust companies (“DTC Participants”). To become an Authorized Participant, a person must enter into an Authorized Participant Agreement.

When purchasing Creation Baskets in-kind with ether, Authorized Participants and/or their designees will deliver ether to the Ethereum Custodian. After confirming receipt of the ether by the Ethereum Custodian, the Transfer Agent is authorized by the Sponsor to issue Creation Baskets of Shares to the creating Authorized Participant in satisfaction of the creation order.

When purchasing Creation Baskets for cash, Authorized Participants will deliver cash to the Cash Custodian. The Execution Agent will be responsible for acquiring the requisite amount of ether on behalf of the Trust on an agency basis. After receipt of the ether by the Ethereum Custodian, the Transfer Agent will issue Creation Baskets of Shares to the creating Authorized Participant in satisfaction of the creation order.

When redeeming Creation Baskets in-kind for ether, the Transfer Agent will redeem the Shares and the Ethereum Custodian will distribute the resulting ether to the redeeming Authorized Participant in satisfaction of the redemption order.

When redeeming Creation Baskets for cash, the Execution Agent will be responsible for selling the requisite amount of ether on behalf of the Trust on an agency basis. After receipt of the cash payment, the Transfer Agent will redeem the Shares and the Cash Custodian will distribute the resulting cash to the redeeming Authorized Participant in satisfaction of the redemption order.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Sponsor, either in its own capacity or in its capacity as the Sponsor and on behalf of the Trust, has entered into various service agreements that contain a variety of representations, or provide indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers undertake in performing services for the Trust. The Trust’s organizational documents provide for the Trust to indemnify the Sponsor and any affiliate of the Sponsor that provides services to the Trust to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, subject to certain exceptions for disqualifying conduct by the Sponsor or such an affiliate. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Further, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.

Note 10 – Financial Highlights

The Trust is presenting the following NAV and financial highlights related to investment performance for a Share outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. An individual investor’s return and ratios may vary based on the timing of capital transactions.

NAV per Share is the NAV of the Trust divided by the number of outstanding Shares at the date of each respective period presented.
