Highlights
- Grayscale lowers its Ethereum mini-trust fees to 15 basis points making it the lowest among other competitors.
- ETF Store President Nate Geraci commended Grayscale for its strategic move.
- Traders are having a watch on Ethereum options expiry later today with put/call ratio of 0.36.
With just four days left into the launch of the spot Ethereum ETF, Grayscale has announced some major changes to its fee structure thereby making its ETH mini-trust the cheapest among its competitors.
Grayscale Ethereum ETF Fee Waiver
Earlier this week, Grayscale announced the Ethereum ETF fee structure at a staggering 2.5% making it 10x more costly than all of its competitors in the market. This move put Grayscale in a bad light with analysts stating that the asset manager hasn’t learnt enough lessons despite outflows from its spot Bitcoin ETFs in the past six months.
As part of this course correction, Grayscale cut short the fees of its Ethereum mini-trust to just 15 basis points. Furthermore, the asset manager has announced a complete fee waiver for up to $2 billion in inflows or six months whichever is early.
Lowered to 15 bps, with full waiver for first $2 bn. This is what I was expecting yesterday. Grayscale wised up. https://t.co/Y0sXyTS0JT pic.twitter.com/nyuuDuTUxq

Nate Geraci Praises Grayscale
ETF Store President Nate Geraci has applauded Grayscale for undertaking this strategic shift and competing with other market players. Geraci stated, “Bravo, Grayscale… This is how you go for the jugular.”
Geraci further added that Grayscale has paved the regulatory path for the spot Bitcoin ETF and Ethereum ETFs. Thus, he added that there is no reason not to capitalize on this advantage by taking a leadership position in the spot crypto ETF category.
Bravo, Grayscale…
This is how you go for the jugular.
Grayscale paved regulatory path for spot btc & eth ETFs. Period.
No reason not to capitalize on that by taking leadership position in how they approach competition in spot crypto ETF category.
Smart move IMO. https://t.co/j9EvuoxdA4

The Ethereum price has remained largely stable after rallying all the way up to $3,500 earlier this week. As of press time, ETH is trading around $3,400 as investors cautiously await the ETF launch next week.
As per data from Deribit, Ethereum options with a notional value of $0.48 billion are set to expire today. The put/call ratio is only 0.36 which suggests that the market is majorly bullish. On the other hand, the max pain point stands at $3,150.
