This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” that generally relate to future events or future performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. All statements (other than statements of historical fact) included in this Quarterly Report that address activities, events or developments that will or may occur in the future, including such matters as movements in the digital asset markets and indexes that track such movements, Fidelity Ethereum Fund’s (“the Trust’s”) operations, FD Funds Management LLC’s (“the Sponsor’s”) plans and references to the Trust’s future success and other similar matters, are forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. These statements are based upon certain assumptions and analyses the Sponsor has made based on its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors appropriate in the circumstances. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements including, without limitation, the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in this Quarterly Report and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Whether or not actual results and developments will conform to the Sponsor’s expectations and predictions, however, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the special considerations discussed in this Quarterly Report, general economic, market and business conditions, changes in laws or regulations, including those concerning taxes, made by governmental authorities or regulatory bodies, and other world economic and political developments. Consequently, all the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that actual results or developments the Sponsor anticipates will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the expected consequences to, or have the expected effects on, the Trust’s operations or the value of its Shares.
Should one or more of these risks discussed in this Quarterly Report or other uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based on the Sponsor’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and neither the Trust nor the Sponsor is under a duty or undertakes an obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, other than as required by applicable laws. Moreover, neither the Trust, the Sponsor, nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Investors are therefore cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Fidelity Ethereum Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1: Organization
Fidelity Ethereum Fund (the “Trust”) is a Delaware Statutory Trust that was formed on October 31, 2023, pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The Trust issues common units of beneficial interest (“Shares”), which represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Trust. The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to track the performance of ether, the native token of the Ethereum blockchain, as measured by the performance of Fidelity Ethereum Reference Rate (the “Index”), adjusted for the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. The Index is designed to reflect the performance of ether in United States (“US”) dollars. The Trust is sponsored by FD Funds Management LLC (the “Sponsor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR LLC. CSC Delaware Trust Company is the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”). The Trust will operate pursuant to a Trust Agreement, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Trust Agreement”).
The Trust is passively managed. The Shareholders of the Trust do not have control or involvement in the management of the Trust. The Trust, the Sponsor, and the Trust’s service providers do not loan or pledge the assets of the Trust or use those assets as collateral for any loan or similar arrangement unless required to facilitate transaction settlement.
Prior to June 4, 2024, the Trust had no operations other than matters relating to the sale and issuance of
one
Share of the Trust to an affiliate at a per-Share price of $
40
(the “Seed Share”) on
May 24, 2024
. On June 4, 2024, the Seed Share was redeemed for cash and the Seed Capital Investor purchased
125,000
Shares at a per-Share price of $
38
(the “Seed Baskets”). On June 4, 2024, the Trust purchased
1,250
ether with the proceeds of the Seed Baskets. On July 22, 2024, the Trust was declared effective. On
July 23, 2024
, the Trust commenced operations and Shares commenced trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”).
Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and are stated in US dollars. The Trust qualifies as an investment company for accounting purposes pursuant to the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). The Trust uses fair value as its method of accounting for its investment in ether in accordance with its classification as an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is not a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Trust operates as a single operating segment. The Trusts’ profit or loss, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the Sponsor of the Trust, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights. In the opinion of the Trust, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the periods presented. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual amounts may ultimately differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.
Ether Assets
Ether is an Ethereum-based token, which is a type of digital asset based on an open‐source cryptographic protocol existing on an Ethereum network. The Ethereum network supports ether and other Ethereum-based tokens. Digital assets are defined broadly as digital records that are made using cryptography for verification and security purposes, on a distributed ledger and may be characterized by their ability to be used as a medium of exchange, a representation to provide or access goods or services, or as a financing vehicle, such as a security. The Trust identifies ether as an “other investment” in accordance with ASC 946.
7
Investment Valuation
Due to the Trust’s classification as an investment company for GAAP reporting purposes, investments in ether are recorded on the financial statements at their estimated fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 requires the determination of the Trust’s principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market (principal market) and the assumption that ether is sold in their principal market. The Trust determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants using the principal market on the measurement date and, therefore, the principal market used must be accessible to the Trust on that date. The Trust determines its principal market price for GAAP reporting and utilizes an exchange-traded price from that principal market as of 11:59:59 p.m., EST, on the financial statement measurement date.
GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The inputs are categorized in one of the following levels:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust is able to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or (d) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable (including the Trust’s own data and assumptions based on the best information available) and significant to the entire fair value measurement.
To the extent that investments are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary across investment and is affected by various factors, including the nature of the investment, whether the investment is new or unestablished in the marketplace, market liquidity and other investment specific characteristics. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, determining fair value requires more judgment. Because of the uncertainty inherent in valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Therefore, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3.
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income
The Trust records investment transactions in ether on a trade date basis. For financial reporting purposes, the Trust’s investment holdings and Paid-In-Capital include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The Trust’s purchases are recorded at cost, including transaction fees, and are subsequently fair valued in accordance with the Trust’s fair valuation policy. Changes in fair value are reflected as the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment in ether.
Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost and reflected as net realized gain (loss) on investment in ether and net realized gain (loss) on investment in ether transferred to pay the Sponsor fee.
Cash
Cash consists of a demand deposit held with a financial institution. At times, deposits may be in excess of federally insured limits. The Trust has not experienced any losses and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such deposits.
Income Taxes
The Trust intends to be classified as a “grantor trust” for US federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Trust itself should not be subject to US federal income tax. Instead, the Trust’s income and expenses should “flow through” to the Shareholders, and the Trustee will report to Shareholders and the Internal Revenue Service on that basis.
8
The Sponsor evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of its tax treatment, and its tax reporting to its shareholders, of these positions to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet that threshold would be recorded as an expense in the current year. The Trust is required to analyze all open tax years. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of June 30, 2025
, the 2024 tax year remains open for examination. There were no examinations in progress at period end.
Expenses
Expenses are recorded as accrued. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Trust and do not include any expenses paid by the Sponsor or related entities outside of the Trust.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-08, “
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets
” (“ASU 2023-08”)
became effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024
. ASU 2023-08 requires entities to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, and changes in fair value must be recorded in net income in each reporting period. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain crypto assets. The Trust’s accounting and reporting under ASC 946 is materially consistent with the interim period reporting requirements of ASU 2023-08.
Note 3: Related Party Agreements and Transactions
Administrator

Sponsor Fee
On June 3, 2024, the Trust contractually agreed to pay the Sponsor a unified fee of
0.25
% of the Trust’s Ether Holdings (the “Sponsor Fee”), effective as of the date of the registration statement. The Trust’s “Ether Holdings” is the quantity of the Trust’s ether plus any cash or other assets held by the Trust represented in ether as calculated using the Index price, less its liabilities (which include estimated accrued but unpaid fees and expenses) represented in ether as calculated using the Index price. The Sponsor Fee is paid by the Trust to the Sponsor as compensation for services performed under the Trust Agreement. The Sponsor is obligated to assume and pay all fees and other expenses incurred by the Trust in the ordinary course of its affairs, excluding taxes, but including: (i) the fees of the Trust’s third-party service providers including, but not limited to, the Distributor, the Administrator, any custodian, the Transfer Agent, the Index Provider and the Trustee, (ii) the fees and expenses related to the listing, quotation or trading of the Shares on the Exchange (including customary legal, marketing and audit fees and expenses), (iii) legal fees and expenses incurred in the ordinary course, (iv) audit fees, (v) regulatory fees, including, if applicable,
any fees relating to the registration of the Trust and Shares, including any ongoing filings related to the offering of Shares, under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) or the 1934 Act, (vi) printing and mailing costs, (vii) costs of maintaining the Trust’s website and (viii) applicable license fees (each, a “Sponsor-paid Expense” and collectively, the “Sponsor-paid Expenses”), provided that any expense that qualifies as an Extraordinary Expense will not be deemed to be a Sponsor-paid Expense. There is no cap on the amount of Sponsor-paid Expenses. The Sponsor has also assumed all fees and expenses related to the organization and offering of the Trust and the Shares.
Effective July 10, 2024, the Trust and the Sponsor entered into a Fee Waiver Agreement in which the Sponsor agreed to waive the entirety of the Sponsor Fee (the “Waiver”) through December 31, 2024. Effective December 31, 2024, the Waiver ended pursuant to the terms of the Fee Waiver Agreement.
The Trust may incur certain extraordinary, nonrecurring expenses that are not Sponsor-paid Expenses, including, but not limited to, brokerage and transactions costs associated with the sale or transfer of ether, taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Sponsor (or any other service provider) on behalf of the Trust to protect the Trust, the Trust’s assets, or the interests of Shareholders, any indemnification of the Custodian or other agents, service providers or counterparties of the Trust, extraordinary legal fees and expenses, including any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigation, regulatory enforcement or investigation matters (collectively, “Extraordinary Expenses”). To the extent on-chain transaction fees are incurred in connection with transfers or sales of ether to pay Extraordinary Expenses, the Trust will bear such fees.
The Administrator calculates the Sponsor Fee in respect of each day based on the prior day’s Ether Holdings. The Sponsor Fee accrues daily in ether and is payable monthly in ether or cash. To the extent the Trust does not have cash readily available, the Sponsor will cause the transfer or sale of ether in such quantity as may be necessary to permit the payment of Trust expenses and liabilities not assumed by the Sponsor. The amount of ether transferred or sold may vary from time to time depending on the actual sales price of ether relative to the Trust’s expenses and liabilities.

Note 5: Capital
The Trust is an exchange-traded product. The Trust continuously offers Baskets consisting of Shares to Authorized Participants. The number of outstanding Shares is expected to increase and decrease from time to time as a result of the issuance and redemption of Baskets. The issuance and redemption of Baskets requires the delivery to the Trust or the distribution by the Trust of the amount of cash represented by the Trust’s NAV of the Baskets being issued or redeemed. The total amount of cash required for the issuance or redemption of Baskets will be based on the combined net assets represented by the number of Baskets being issued or redeemed.
Shares represent fractional undivided beneficial interests in and ownership of the Trust. Shares issued by the Trust are registered in a book entry system and held in the name of Cede & Co. at the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and one or more global certificates issued by the Trust to DTC evidences the Shares. Shareholders may hold their Shares through DTC if they are direct participants in DTC (“DTC Participants”) or indirectly through entities (such as broker-dealers) that are DTC Participants.
Note 6: Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into certain contracts that provide a variety of indemnities, including contracts with the Sponsor and affiliates of the Sponsor, and its officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates, and the Custodian as well as others relating to services provided to the Trust. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these and its other indemnities is unknown. However, no liabilities have arisen under these indemnities in the past and, while there can be no assurances in this regard, there is no expectation that any will occur in the future. Therefore, the Sponsor does not consider it necessary to record a liability in this regard. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 7: Concentration Risk
Unlike other funds that may invest in diversified assets, the Trust’s investment strategy is concentrated in a single asset within a single asset class. This concentration maximizes the degree of the Trust’s exposure to a variety of market risks associated with ether and digital assets. By concentrating its investment strategy solely in ether, any losses suffered as a result of a decrease in the value of ether can be expected to reduce the value of an interest in the Trust and will not be offset by other gains if the Trust were to invest in underlying assets that were diversified.
Note 8: Financial Highlights
The Trust is presenting the following financial highlights related to investment performance and operations of a Share outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The total return, at net asset value is based on the change in NAV of a Share during the period and the total return, at market value is based on the change in market value of a Share on the Exchange during the period. An individual investor’s return and ratios may vary based on the timing of capital transactions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements based on assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.
Overview of the Trust
Fidelity Ethereum Fund (the “Trust”) is an exchange-traded product that issues shares of beneficial interest (the “Shares”) that trade on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”). The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to track the performance of ether, as measured by the performance of Fidelity Ethereum Reference Rate (“the Index”), adjusted for the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. The Index is constructed using ether price feeds from eligible ether spot markets and a volume-weighted median price (“VWMP”) methodology, calculated every 15 seconds based on VWMP spot market data over rolling sixty-minute increments. The Index is designed to reflect the performance of ether in U.S. dollars. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust holds ether and values its Shares daily based on the same methodology used to calculate the Index. The Trust is sponsored by FD Funds Management LLC (the “Sponsor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR LLC.
The Trust is passively managed and does not pursue active management investment strategies. The Sponsor believes that the Shares are designed to provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to invest in ether without purchasing, holding and trading ether directly. The Trust sells and redeems Shares only with Authorized Participants in exchange for cash and only in blocks of 25,000 Shares.
The Shareholders of the Trust take no part in the management or control, and have no voice in, the Trust’s operations or business. Except in limited circumstances, Shareholders have no voting rights under the Trust Agreement.
Valuation of Ether and Computation of Net Asset Value (
“NAV”)
For purposes of calculating the Trust’s net asset value (“Trust’s NAV”) per Share, the Trust’s holdings of ether are valued using the same methodology as used to calculate the Index.
The Trust’s NAV per Share is calculated by:
•
taking the fair market value of its total assets based on the volume-weighted median price of ether used for the calculation of the Index;
•
subtracting any liabilities; and
•
dividing that total by the total number of outstanding Shares.
The Administrator calculates the Trust’s NAV once each Exchange trading day. The Trust’s NAV for a normal trading day is released after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (“EST”). Trading during the core trading session on the Exchange typically closes at 4:00 p.m. EST. However, the Trust’s NAVs are not officially struck until after 4:00 p.m. EST. The pause after 4:00 p.m. EST provides an opportunity for the Sponsor to algorithmically detect, flag, investigate, and correct unusual pricing should it occur. The Sponsor has established a Valuation Committee to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Valuation Committee. If the Valuation Committee determines in good faith that the Index does not reflect an accurate ether price, then the Valuation Committee instructs the Administrator to employ an alternative method to determine the fair value of the Trust’s assets. In determining an alternative fair value method, the Valuation Committee generally considers such criteria as observable market-based inputs, including market quotations and last sale information from third-party pricing services and/or trading platforms on which ether are traded. The Valuation Committee’s selection of third-party pricing services used considers the qualifications, experience, and history of the pricing services and whether their valuation methodologies and procedures are reasonably designed to produce prices that reflect fair value under the prevailing market conditions.
13
In addition, in order to provide updated information relating to the Trust for use by Shareholders and market professionals, a third-party financial data provider will calculate and disseminate throughout the core trading session on each trading day an updated intraday indicative value (“IIV”). The IIV will be calculated based on the Trust’s ether holdings and any other assets expected to comprise that day’s Trust’s NAV calculation. The third-party financial data provider will use the Blockstream Crypto Data Feed Streaming Level 1 as the pricing source for the spot ether. The Blockstream Crypto Data Feed Streaming Level 1 calculates an average of current ether price levels of the ether trading platforms that are available on its feed. The Trust will provide an IIV per Share updated every 15 seconds, as calculated by the Exchange or a third-party financial data provider during the Exchange’s regular trading hours of 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST (“Regular Trading Hours”). The IIV disseminated during Regular Trading Hours should not be viewed as an actual real-time update of the Trust’s NAV, which will be calculated only once at the end of each trading day as described herein.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Principal Market and Fair Value Determination
The Trust’s periodic financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 requires the fair value measurement of ether to assume that transactions take place in the principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, for ether that the Trust has access to. The Trust may buy and sell ether through brokered, dealer, over-the-counter, exchange or other markets. The Sponsor determines in its sole discretion the valuation sources and policies used to prepare the Trust’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Trust engaged a third-party pricing service to obtain an exchange-traded price from a principal market for ether, which was determined and designated based on its consideration of several exchange characteristics, including oversight, and the volume and frequency of trades. The exchange-traded price from the principal market on the periodic financial statements is as of 11:59:59 p.m. EST on the Trust’s financial statement measurement date.
Results of Operations
The Trust’s commencement of operations was July 23, 2024. The Trust had no operations prior to July 23, 2024, other than matters relating to its organization and the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”).
The Quarter Ended June 30, 2025
The Trust’s net assets increased from approximately $0.7 billion as of March 31, 2025, to $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2025. The change in the Trust’s net assets was driven by an increase in outstanding Shares, which rose from 40,025,000 as of March 31, 2025 to 49,925,000 as of June 30, 2025 as a result of 24,200,000 Shares (968 Baskets) being created and 14,300,000 Shares (572 Baskets) being redeemed, coupled with an increase in the price of ether, which rose 35.48% from $1,834.80 as of March 31, 2025 to $2,485.81 as of June 30, 2025.
The Trust’s NAV per Share increased 36.69% from $18.34 on March 31, 2025 to $25.07 on June 30, 2025.
The Trust
’s
NAV per Share of $28.13 at June 11, 2025, was the highest during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with a low of $14.64 at April 08, 2025.
The quantity of ether owned by the Trust and held by the ether custodian increased from 400,086 as of March 31, 2025, to 498,722 as of June 30, 2025. The increase in quantity resulted from using net cash proceeds received from the increase in capital transactions to purchase ether.
The net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was approximately $0.3 billion, primarily resulting from a net unrealized appreciation on investment in ether of $0.4 billion and a net realized loss of approximately $0.1 billion from the sale of the investment in ether for the redemption of Shares.
The Period Ended June 30, 2025
The Trust’s net assets decreased from approximately $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2024, to $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2025. The change in the Trust’s net assets was driven by an increase in outstanding Shares, which rose from 47,175,000 as of December 31, 2024 to 49,925,000 as of June 30, 2025 as a result of 36,550,000 Shares (1,462 Baskets) being created and 33,800,000 Shares (1,352 Baskets) being redeemed, coupled with a decrease in the price of ether, which fell 25.43% from $3,333.60 as of December 31, 2024 to $2,485.81 as of June 30, 2025.
The Trust’s NAV per Share decreased 25.03% from $33.44 on December 31, 2024 to $25.07 on June 30, 2025.
14
The Trust
’s
NAV per Share of $36.93 at January 06, 2025, was the highest during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with a low of $14.64 at April 08, 2025.
The quantity of ether owned by the Trust and held by the ether custodian increased from 471,750 as of December 31, 2024, to 498,722 as of June 30, 2025. The increase in quantity resulted from the issuances of Shares, which were partially offset from ether transferred to pay the Sponsor fee during the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
The net decrease in net assets resulting from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $0.4 billion, primarily resulting from a net unrealized depreciation on investment in ether of $0.1 billion and a net realized loss of $0.3 billion from the sale of the investment in ether for the redemption of Shares.
Cash Resources and Liquidity
The Trust does not hold a cash balance except in connection with the issuance and redemption of Baskets or to pay expenses not assumed by the Sponsor. To the extent the Trust does not have available cash to facilitate redemptions or pay expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, the Trust will sell ether. When selling ether on behalf of the Trust, the Sponsor endeavors to minimize the Trust’s holdings of assets other than ether. As a consequence, the Sponsor expects that the Trust will have an immaterial amount of cash flow from its operations and that its cash balance will be insignificant at the end of each reporting period. The Trust’s only sources of cash are proceeds from the sale of Baskets and ether.
In exchange for the Sponsor Fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. The Sponsor contractually waived the Sponsor Fee until December 31, 2024. On January 1, 2025, the Sponsor Fee began accruing at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Trust’s Ether Holdings.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
The Trust has not used, nor does it expect to use in the future, special purpose entities to facilitate off balance sheet financing arrangements and has no loan guarantee arrangements or off balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered into in the normal course of business, which may include indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers undertake in performing services for the Trust. While the Trust’s exposure under such indemnification provisions cannot be estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have a material impact on a Trust’s financial position.
Sponsor Fee payments made to the Sponsor are calculated as a fixed percentage of the Trust’s Ether Holdings. As such, the Sponsor cannot anticipate the payment amounts that will be required under these arrangements for future periods as the Trust’s Ether Holdings are not known until a future date.

Analysis of Price Movements
Investors should understand the relationship between the Index Price (non-GAAP measurement of the price of ether), the Trust’s NAV per Share (non-GAAP measurement of the price of ether affected by non-ether net assets, such as the Sponsor Fee), the Trust’s market price per share, and ether’s principal market price. Investors should also be aware that past movements are not indicators of future movements. Movements may be influenced by various factors, including, but not limited to, government regulation, security breaches experienced by service providers, as well as political and economic uncertainties around the world.
