Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks VanEck Ethereum ETF names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 30, 2026: 75 risks under these headings, as written.4
- Risks Associated with ETH and the Ethereum Network
- The trading prices of many digital assets, including ETH, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Extreme volatility in the future, including further declines in the trading prices of ETH, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Shares and the Shares could lose all or substantially all of their value.
- The value of the Shares is subject to a number of factors relating to the fundamental investment characteristics of ETH as a digital asset, including the fact that digital assets are bearer instruments and loss, theft, destruction, or compromise of the associated private keys could result in permanent loss of the asset, and the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies such as the ethereum blockchain.
- Due to the nature of private keys, ethereum transactions are irrevocable and stolen or incorrectly transferred Ethereum may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed ethereum transactions could adversely affect an investment in the Trust.
- A disruption of the internet may affect ethereum operations, which may adversely affect the ethereum industry and an investment in the Trust.
- The Ethereum network’s decentralized governance structure may negatively affect its ability to grow and respond to challenges.
- The scheduled creation of newly minted ETH and their subsequent sale may cause the price of ETH to decline, which could negatively affect an investment in the Trust.
- There is no cap on ETH supply.
- The open-source structure of the ethereum network protocol means that the core developers and other contributors are generally not directly compensated for their contributions in maintaining and developing the ethereum network protocol. A failure to properly monitor and upgrade the ethereum network protocol could damage the ethereum network and an investment in the trust.
- A temporary or permanent “fork” of the ethereum blockchain could adversely affect an investment in the Trust. Shareholders will not receive the benefits of any forks or airdrops.
- Shareholders may not receive the benefits of any forks or “airdrops.”
- In the event of a hard fork of the Ethereum network, the Sponsor will, if permitted by the terms of the Trust Agreement, use its discretion to determine which network should be considered the appropriate network for the Trust’s purposes, and in doing so may adversely affect the value of the Shares.
The other 64 risks
- The Ethereum Blockchain could be vulnerable to a “51% attack,” which could adversely affect an investment in the Trust or the ability of the Trust to operate.
- Liquid staking applications pose centralization concerns.
- If validators exit the ethereum network, it could increase the likelihood of a malicious actor obtaining control.
- Blockchain technologies are based on theoretical conjectures as to the impossibility of solving certain cryptographical puzzles quickly. These premises may be incorrect or may become incorrect due to technological advances.
- The price of ETH on the ETH market has exhibited periods of extreme volatility, which could have a negative impact on the performance of the Trust.
- MarketVector has analyzed ETH trading platform data and developed insights that have informed MarketVector’s understanding of the ETH market and the design of the Trust. If such data or insights are inaccurate or incorrect, the value of an investment in the Trust may be adversely affected.
- Smart contracts, including those relating to DeFi applications, are a new technology and their ongoing development and operation may result in problems, which could reduce the demand for ETH or cause a wider loss of confidence in the Ethereum network, either of which could have an adverse impact on the value of ETH.
- Validators may suffer losses due to staking, or staking may prove unattractive to validators, which could make the Ethereum network less attractive.
- Proof-of-stake blockchains are a relatively recent innovation, and have not been subject to as widespread use or adoption over as long of a period of time as traditional proof-of-work blockchains.
- Operational cost may exceed the award for validating transaction, and increased transaction fees may adversely affect the usage of the Ethereum network.
- Risks Associated with the Digital Asset Markets
- The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of ETH, the value of which may be highly volatile and subject to fluctuations due to a number of factors.
- Digital asset networks face significant scaling challenges and efforts to increase the volume of transactions may not be successful.
- If the digital asset award or transaction fees for recording transactions on the Ethereum network are not sufficiently high to incentivize validators, or if certain jurisdictions continue to limit or otherwise regulate validating activities, validators may cease expanding validating power or demand high transaction fees, which could negatively impact the value of ETH and the value of the Shares.
- Due to the unregulated nature and lack of transparency surrounding the operations of ETH trading platforms, which may be subject to regulation in a relevant jurisdiction, but may not be complying, they may experience fraud, manipulation, security failures or operational problems, which may adversely affect the value of ETH and, consequently, the value of the Shares.
- ETH trading platforms may be exposed to fraud and manipulation.
- ETH trading platforms may be exposed to front-running.
- ETH trading platforms may be exposed to wash trading.
- Competition from central bank digital currencies and emerging payments initiatives involving financial institutions could adversely affect the value of ETH and other digital assets.
- Prices of ETH may be affected due to stablecoins (including Tether and US Dollar Coin (“USDC”)), the activities of stablecoin issuers and their regulatory treatment.
- Competition from the emergence or growth of other digital assets or methods of investing in ETH could have a negative impact on the price of ETH and adversely affect the value of the Shares.
- Failure of funds that hold digital assets to receive SEC approval to list their shares on exchanges could adversely affect the value of the Shares.
- Risks Associated with the MarketVector Ethereum Benchmark Rate
- The MarketVector Ethereum Benchmark Rate has a limited history.
- The MarketVector Ethereum Benchmark Rate could fail to track the global ETH price, and a failure of the MarketVector Ethereum Benchmark Rate could adversely affect the value of the Shares.
- Marketvector has analyzed ETH trading platform data and developed insights that have informed Marketvector’s understanding of the ETH market and the design of the Trust. If such data or insights are inaccurate or incorrect, the value of an investment in the Trust may be adversely affected.
- The MarketVector Ethereum Benchmark Rate used to calculate the value of the Trust’s ETH may be volatile, adversely affecting the value of the Shares.
- The MarketVector Ethereum Benchmark Rate may be affected by manipulative or fraudulent practices in the global ETH market or at constituent trading platforms.
- The Index Administrator could experience system failures or errors.
- The MarketVector Ethereum Benchmark Rate Price being used to determine the net asset value of the trust may not be consistent with GAAP. To the extent that the Trust’s financial statements are determined using a different pricing source that is consistent with GAAP, the net asset value reported in the Trust’s periodic financial statements may differ, in some cases significantly, from the Trust’s net asset value determined using the MarketVector Ethereum Benchmark Rate Pricing.
- The Sponsor can remove the MarketVector Ethereum Benchmark Rate and use a different pricing or valuation methodology instead.
- Intellectual property rights claims may adversely affect the Trust and the value of the Shares.
- Risk Associated with Investing in the Trust
- The value of the Shares may be influenced by a variety of factors unrelated to the value of ETH.
- The Trust is subject to market risk.
- The NAV may not always correspond to the market price of ETH and, as a result, Baskets may be created or redeemed at a value that is different from the market price of the Shares.
- Authorized Participants’ buying and selling activity associated with the creation and redemption of Baskets may adversely affect an investment in the Shares of the Trust.
- The inability of Liquidity Providers to hedge their ETH exposure may adversely affect the liquidity of Shares and the value of an investment in the Shares.
- If the process of creation and redemption of Baskets encounters any unanticipated difficulties, the possibility for arbitrage transactions by Authorized Participants intended to keep the price of the Shares closely linked to the price of ETH may not exist and, as a result, the price of the Shares may fall or otherwise diverge from NAV.
- The lack of ability to facilitate in-kind creations and redemptions of Shares could have adverse consequences for the Trust.
- The Shares may trade at a price that is at, above or below the Trust’s NAV per Share as a result of the non-current trading hours between the Exchange and the digital asset market.
- The liquidity of the Shares may also be affected by the withdrawal from participation of Authorized Participants or Liquidity Providers.
- The Trust is subject to risks due to its concentration of investments in a single asset class.
- The lack of active trading markets for the Shares of the Trust may result in losses on Shareholders’ investments at the time of disposition of Shares.
- Possible illiquid markets may exacerbate losses, increase the variability between the Trust’s NAV and its market price or affect the Trust’s ability to meet cash Creation Orders and Redemption Orders.
- The Trust is an “emerging growth company” and it cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make the Shares less attractive to investors.
- Several factors may affect the Trust’s ability to achieve its investment objective on a consistent basis.
- The amount of ETH represented by the Shares will decline over time.
- The Trust is a passive investment vehicle. The Trust is not actively managed and will be affected by a general decline in the price of ETH.
- The development and commercialization of the Trust is subject to competitive pressures.
- Security threats to the Trust’s account with the ETH Custodian or the Additional ETH Custodian could result in the halting of Trust operations and a loss of Trust assets or damage to the reputation of the Trust, each of which could result in a reduction in the price of the Shares.
- The Clearing Account permits hot storage which is less secure than cold storage.
- The lack of full insurance and Shareholders’ limited rights of legal recourse against the Trust, Trustee, Sponsor, Administrator, Cash Custodian, ETH Custodian and Additional ETH Custodian expose the Trust and its Shareholders to the risk of loss of the Trust’s ethereum for which no person or entity is liable.
- Loss of a critical banking relationship for, or the failure of a bank used by, the Trust could adversely impact the Trust’s ability to create or redeem Baskets, or could cause losses to the Trust.
- The Trust may be required, or the Sponsor may deem it appropriate, to terminate and liquidate at a time that is disadvantageous to shareholders.
- The Sponsor is solely responsible for determining the value of the ETH holdings and ethereum holdings per Share, and any errors, discontinuance or changes in such valuation calculations may have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares.
- Extraordinary expenses resulting from unanticipated events may become payable by the Trust, adversely affecting the value of the shares.
- The value of the Shares will be adversely affected if the Trust is required to indemnify the Sponsor, the Trustee, the Transfer Agent, the ETH Custodian, the Additional ETH Custodian or the Cash Custodian under the Trust documents.
- Gemini serves as the ETH Custodian for several competing exchange-traded ethereum products, and the Trust’s Cash Custodian and Liquidity Providers may also transact with competing exchange-traded ETH products or with other companies in the digital assets industry, which could heighten interconnectedness and contagion risks and adversely affect creation and redemption processes of the Trust.
- Coinbase serves as the ETH Custodian for several competing exchange-traded ethereum products, which could adversely affect the trust’s operations and ultimately the value of the Shares.
- The Trust’s Authorized Participants act in similar or identical capacities for several competing exchange-traded ETH products, which may impact the ability or willingness of one or more Authorized Participants to participate in the creation and redemption process, adversely affect the Trust’s ability to create or redeem Baskets and adversely affect the Trust’s operations and ultimately the value of the Shares.
- The Trust is not permitted to engage in Staking Activities, which could negatively affect the value of the Shares.
- Regulatory Risk
- Digital asset markets in the United States exist in a state of regulatory uncertainty, and adverse legislative or regulatory developments could significantly harm the value of ETH or the Shares, such as by banning, restricting or imposing onerous conditions or prohibitions on the use of ethereum, mining activity, digital wallets, the provision of services related to trading and custodying ethereum, the operation of the Ethereum network, or the digital asset markets generally.
- A determination that ETH or any other digital asset is a “security” may adversely affect the value of ETH and the value of the Shares, and result in potentially extraordinary, nonrecurring expenses to, or termination of, the Trust.
- Competing industries may have more influence with policymakers than the digital asset industry, which could lead to the adoption of laws and regulations that are harmful to the digital asset industry.
- Shareholders do not have the protections associated with ownership of Shares in an investment company registered under the 1940 Act or the protections afforded by the CEA.
- Future legal or regulatory developments may negatively affect the value of ETH or require the Trust or the Sponsor to become registered with the SEC or CFTC, which may cause the Trust to liquidate.
