Fee war breaks out among spot Ether ETF issuers ahead of listings

Franklin Ethereum ETF (EZET) has emerged as the fee race’s frontrunner.

Virtually all of the soon-to-be-listed Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are temporarily waiving or discounting fees as rivalries among issuers heat up ahead of next week’s anticipated listings, according to documents filed with United States regulators.

The promotional discounts range from full waivers to roughly 50% fee reductions, and vary in length from six months to a year. Some discounts also expire once ETFs pull a certain amount of assets under management (AUM).

In total, seven out of 10 proposed spot ETH ETFs are touting fee cuts. Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) and Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF are opting out of the fee war. The other outlier — ProShares Ethereum ETF — has lagged behind peers in the registration process and is not expected to list next week.
