Ethereum ETFs are a great way for traditional investors to gain exposure to ETH without owning the cryptocurrency directly. These ETFs are traded during regular market hours and come with fees from issuers, but you won’t have to worry about gas fees.

There are two main types of Ethereum ETFs: spot and futures.

• Spot ETFs are directly tied to the current price of ETH.
• Futures ETFs are speculative and based on contracts for future prices.

While Ethereum futures ETFs have been available since 2023, spot ETFs are still pending live trading due to regulatory approvals.
