ETHA
BlackRock will waive a portion of the Sponsor’s Fee for the first 12 months commencing on July 23, 2024, so that the fee will be 0.12% of the net asset value of the Trust for the first $2.5 billion of the Trust’s assets. If the fund exceeds $2.5 billion of the Trust’s assets prior to the end of the 12-month period, the Sponsor’s Fee charged on assets over $2.5 billion will be 0.25%. All investors will incur the same Sponsor’s Fee which is the weighted average of those fee rates. After the 12-month waiver period is over, the Sponsor’s Fee will be 0.25%.
1. Access: ETHA enables investors to get exposure to Ethereum’s native token, ether, within a traditional brokerage account.
2. Convenience: ETHA can help remove operational burdens associated with holding ether directly, as well as potentially high trading costs and tax reporting complexities.
3. Integrated technology: ETHA is managed by the world’s largest asset manager and leverages a multi-year technology integration developed with Coinbase Prime, the world’s largest institutional digital asset custodian.*
*Source: BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager by AUM, managing $10.5T as of March 31, 2024. Coinbase Prime is a full-service prime broker of Coinbase, Inc. which is an affiliate of the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF custodian with $171B in institutional assets under custody as of March 31, 2024.

The value shown for “units” represents total number of ether held by the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF.
The values shown for “market value,” “weight,” and “notional value” (the “calculated values”) are based off of a price provided by a third-party pricing vendor for the portfolio holding and do not reflect the impact of systematic fair valuation (“the vendor price”). The vendor price is not necessarily the price at which the Fund values the portfolio holding for the purposes of determining its net asset value (the “valuation price”). Holdings data shown reflects the investment book of record, which may differ from the accounting book of record used for the purposes of determining the Net Assets of the Fund. Additionally, where applicable, foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the portfolio holdings denominated in non-U.S. currencies for the valuation price will be generally determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange, whereas for the vendor price will be generally determined as of 4 p.m. London. The calculated values may have been different if the valuation price were to have been used to calculate such values. The vendor price is as of the most recent date for which a price is available and may not necessarily be as of the date shown above.
Please see the “Determination of Net Asset Value” section of each Fund’s prospectus for additional information on the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures.
“Quantity” represents the number of shares, units or contracts of the corresponding security, as applicable per security type.
This information must be accompanied or preceded by a current iShares Ethereum Trust ETF prospectus, which may be obtained by clicking here. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Investing involves a high degree of risk, including possible loss of principal. An investment in the Trust is not suitable for all investors, may be deemed speculative and is not intended as a complete investment program. An investment in Shares should be considered only by persons who can bear the risk of total loss associated with an investment in the Trust.
The iShares Ethereum Trust ETF is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and therefore is not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds or ETFs registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Trust is not a commodity pool for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other information included in the prospectus.
Shares of the Trust are intended to reflect, at any given time, the market price of ether owned by the Trust at that time less the Trust's expenses and liabilities. The price received upon the sale of the shares, which trade at market price, may be more or less than the value of the ether represented by such shares. If an investor sells the shares at a time when no active market for them exists, such lack of an active market will most likely adversely affect the price received for the shares. For a more complete discussion of the risk factors relative to the Trust, carefully read the prospectus.
Investing in digital assets involves significant risks due to their extreme price volatility and the potential for loss, theft, or compromise of private keys. The value of the shares is closely tied to acceptance, industry developments, and governance changes, making them susceptible to market sentiment. Digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry, and the value of the Shares depends on their acceptance. Changes in the governance of a digital asset network may not receive sufficient support from users and miners, which may negatively affect that digital asset network’s ability to grow and respond to challenges Investing in the Trust comes with risks that could impact the Trust's share value, including large-scale sales by major investors, security threats like breaches and hacking, negative sentiment among speculators, and competition from central bank digital currencies and financial initiatives using blockchain technology. A disruption of the internet or a digital asset network would affect the ability to transfer digital assets and, consequently, would impact their value. There can be no assurance that security procedures designed to protect the Trust’s assets will actually work as designed or prove to be successful in safeguarding the Trust’s assets against all possible sources of theft, loss or damage.
Smart contracts, including those relating to decentralized finance applications, are a new technology and their ongoing development and operation may result in problems, which could reduce the demand for ether or cause a wider loss of confidence in the Ethereum network, either of which could have an adverse impact on the value of ether.
Shares of the Trust are not deposits or other obligations of or guaranteed by BlackRock, Inc., and its affiliates, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The sponsor of the Trust is iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”). BlackRock Investments, LLC ("BRIL"), assists in the promotion of the Trust. The Sponsor and BRIL are affiliates of BlackRock, Inc.
Although shares of the Trust may be bought or sold on the secondary market through any brokerage account, shares of the Trust are not redeemable from the Trust except in large, aggregated units called "Baskets". Only registered broker-dealers that become authorized participants by entering into a contract with the sponsor and the trustee of the Trust may purchase or redeem Baskets.
Ether Spot Prices provided by CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate – New York Variant (“CF Benchmarks Index”). No warranty is given for the accuracy of these prices and no liability is accepted for reliance thereon. Prices are provided on a reasonable efforts basis and delays may occur both because of the delay in third parties communicating the information to the site and because of delays inherent in posting information over the internet. The Index has a limited history, the Index price could fail to track the global ether price, and a failure of the Index price could adversely affect the value of the Shares.
The Trust may incur certain extraordinary, non-recurring expenses that are not assumed by the Sponsor.
The iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (the “Trust”) is not sponsored, endorsed, issued, sold or promoted by Stiftung Ethereum (the "Ethereum Foundation"), nor does the Ethereum Foundation make any representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Trust. BlackRock is not affiliated with the Ethereum Foundation. Ethereum Marks are owned by the Ethereum Foundation, used under license.
The amount of ether represented by shares of the Trust will decrease over the life of the Trust due to sales of ether necessary to pay the sponsor's fee and trust expenses. Without increases in the price of ether sufficient to compensate for that decrease, the price of the shares will also decline, and investors will lose money on their investment. The liquidation of the Trust may occur at a time when the disposition of the Trust's ether will result in losses to investors. The value of the shares of the Trust will be adversely affected if ether owned by the Trust is lost or damaged in circumstances in which the Trust is not in a position to recover the corresponding loss.
Net Asset Value (NAV) for ETHA is determined as specified in the prospectus: the Trustee values the trust's ether on the basis of the CF Benchmarks Index.
Distribution Yield and 12m Trailing Yield results may have period over period volatility due to factors including tax considerations such as treatment of passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), treatment of defaulted bonds or excise tax requirements; exceptional corporate actions; seasonality of dividends from underlying holdings; significant fluctuations in fund shares outstanding; or fund capital gain distributions.
