VanEck Will Offer Ethereum ETF With Zero Fees Till 2025

The cryptocurrency industry is welcoming more spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds [ETF] into its ecosystem. More recently, VanEck filed Form-8A for its spot Ethereum ETF. Several analysts in the market have been expecting July 2 as the launch date for these funds. Along with this, VanEck was trying to stay ahead of the curve by completely waiving the ETF fees.

According to a recent email from Matthew Nigel, the head of digital assets at VanEck, the firm won’t be charging a fee for its Ethereum ETF. The duration of this initiative is uncertain but will likely last until 2025. But the fund’s zero-cost structure will end if its assets hit $1.5 billion before this deadline. Following this, the fund will have a 0.20% fee.

Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg’s ETF analyst, stated that issuers rarely disclose their fee structure so early on, before the launch period. VanEck, however, wasn’t the only firm to do this. Franklin Templeton previously noted that it would charge a 0.19% fee for its spot Ethereum ETF. Speaking about the same, Balchunas said,

“What BlackRock is going to charge is prob the single most imp missing variable outside of the exact launch date. Their fee is the sun that the rest will need to orbit around. Must be nice.”

Why is VanEck Going With ‘Zero Fees?’

It looks like VanEck is aware of the loss it would incur by starting the zero-fee initiative. In the email sent to ETF.com, Sigel said,

“[VanEck] aims to be a leader on crypto ETF fees even if it means we lose money at the outset. The plan is to make it up on volume; in this case, decentralized finance volume.”

Amidst this, ETH was trading at $3,382.65 following a 5% decline over the last seven days.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 T...

MATIC Price Plunges, Have the Bulls Finally Lost Control?

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off. This indicates bearish dominance around $0.72. For MATIC to regain bullish momentum, the price must rise above the $0.74 psychological level. But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have ...

PEPE has more multiples to reach its previous all-time high (ATH) compared to DOGE. PEPE will outperform DOGE in the next bull cycle, predicts Miles Deutscher, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst.
