Largest AUM of Low-Fee Ethereum Funds: •ETH is among the largest spot Ether ETPs by AUM1within the low-cost cohort, and boasts an existing robust and diverse investor base (this is because ETH comes to market as a spin-off of Grayscale’s flagship Ether fund) Low Cost: •At an expense ratio of 0.15%, ETH has one of the lowest costs of ownership2 of all spot Ether ETPs available on the market. Brokerage fees and other expenses may still apply. •Low Share Price: •ETH’s low share price allows investors to achieve the most precision in their exposure to Ether, no matter how big or small their investment may be• Familiar Access: •ETH allows investors to gain exposure to Ether right in their investment accounts, accessed alongside the rest of their portfolio, while avoiding the challenges of buying, storing, and safekeeping crypto directly. Why Choose Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (“ETH”)? ETH offers unparalleled exposure with an industry-leading expense ratio of 0.15% Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ("ETH"), an exchange traded product, is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (or the ’40 Act) and therefore is not subject to the same regulations and protections as 1940 Act registered ETFs and mutual funds. ETH is subject to significant risk and heightened volatility. The Trust is not suitable for all investors and an investor may lose all their money.

 

1.Data as of 09/30/24.2.Low cost based on gross expense ratio at 0% for the first 6 months of trading for the first $2.0 billion. After the fund reaches $2.0 billion in assets or after 6-month waiver period, the fee will be 0.15%. See prospectus for additional fee waiver information. For Financial Professionals Only

ETF 101 with Grayscale An ETF, or Exchange-Traced Fund, is a wrapper for a single esset or besket of assets that trades throughout the day on the equities market. Early ETFs were designed to track well-known equity indices. Instead of having to purchase shares of every single stock in an index, FTFs enabled investors to buy one security providing the same exposure in a much more efficient and convenient way. Today, ETFs have matured and evolved to cover an even wider range of asset classes. ETFs provide investors with the opportunity to access fixed income, international equities, commodities, futures, and other exposures through both passive and active strategies. Now, investors can access crypto through a familiar Investment vehicle with the ease and benefits it has provided across almost al other asset classes. Crypto Access Tools

Let's take a closer look at how this works for Bitcoin Bitcoin ETFs offer investors access to Bitcoin with the ease of the ETF wrapper: transparent reporting convenience, and elimination of the challenges of buying, storing, and safekeeping bitcoin directly. The table below shows different ways Investors can access Bitcoin exposure and some of the benefits of using a spot Bitcoin ETF as the vehicle of choice.

Extreme volatility, regulatory changes, and exposure to digital asset trading platforms may impact the value of Bitcoin and Ethereum, and consequently the value of the Trusts. Digital Asset Risk Disclosures Digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry. The value of the Trusts depends on the acceptance of the digital assets, the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies and the fundamental investment characteristics of the digital asset.

Digital assets may have concentrated ownership and large sales or distributions by holders of such digital assets could have an adverse effect on the market price of such digital assets. The value of the Trusts relates directly to the value of the underlying digital asset, the value of which may be highly volatile and subject to fluctuations due to a number offactors. A substantial direct investment in digital assets may require expensive and sometimes complicated arrangements in connection with the acquisition, security and safekeeping of the digital asset and may involve the payment of substantial acquisition fees from third party facilitators through cash payments of U.S. dollars. Because the values of GBTC and BTC are correlated with the value of Bitcoin, it is important to understand the investment attributes of, and the market for, the underlying digital asset. . Because the value of ETH is correlated with the value of Ether, it is important to understand the investment attributes of, and the market for, the underlying digital asset.

HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS. There is no guarantee that the market conditions during the past period will be present in the future. Rather, it is most likely that the future market conditions will differ significantly from those of this past period, which could have a materially adverse impact on future returns. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading or the costs of managing the portfolio. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.The hypothetical simulated performance results are based on a model that used inputs that are based on assumptions about a variety of conditions and events and provides hypothetical, not actual results. As with all mathematical models, results may vary significantly depending upon the value of the inputs given, so that a relatively minor modification of any assumption may have a significant impact on the result. Among other things, the hypothetical simulated performance calculations do not take into account all aspects of the applicable asset’s characteristics under certain conditions, including characteristics that can have a significant impact on the results.Further, in evaluating the hypothetical simulated performance results herein, each prospective investor should understand that not all of the hypothetical assumptions used in the model are described herein, and conditions and events that are not accounted for by the model may have a significant adverse effect on the performance of the assets described herein. Prospective investors should consider whether the behavior of these assets should be tested based on different and/or additional assumptions from those included in the information herein. IN ADDITION TO OTHER DIFFERENCES, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS IN A PRODUCT SHOULD NOTE THE FOLLOWING POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE IN THE HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS INCLUDED HEREIN AND THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH A PRODUCT WILL PERFORM, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE ACTUAL RETURN OF SUCH PRODUCT TO DIFFER CONSIDERABLY FROM RETURNS SET FORTH BY THE HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE, TO BE MATERIALLY LOWER THAN THE RETURNS AND TO RESULT IN LOSSES OF SOME OR ALL OF THE INVESTMENT BY PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS: FOR EXAMPLE, EACH TRUST WILL HOLD ONLY ONE DIGITAL ASSET, WHEREAS THE HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS ARE INTENDED TO SHOW HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE OF AN INVESTMENT MULTIPLE DIGITAL ASSETS. IN ADDITION, THE GENERAL MARKET DATA USED IN THE HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS DO NOT REFLECT ACTUAL TRADING ACTIVITY AND COULD NOT BE REPLICATED BY A PRODUCT IN ITS ACTUAL TRANSACTIONS. If actual trading activity was executed at levels that differed significantly from the general market data used in the hypothetical simulated performance, the actual returns achieved would have varied considerably from the results of the hypothetical simulated performances and could have been substantially lower and could result in significant losses. IN ADDITION, THE HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS DO NOT ASSUME ANY GAINS OR LOSSES FROM TRADING AND THEREFORE DO NOT REFLECT THE POTENTIAL LOSSES, COSTS AND RISKS POSED BY TRADING AND HOLDING ACTUAL ASSETS. The hypothetical simulated performance results do not reflect the impact the market conditions may have had upon a Product were it in existence during the historical period selected. The hypothetical simulated performance results do not reflect any fees incurred by a Product. If such amounts had been included in the hypothetical simulated performance, the results would have been lowered. AS A RESULT OF THESE AND OTHER DIFFERENCES, THE ACTUAL RETURNS OF A PRODUCT MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE RETURNS SET FORTH IN THE HYPOTHETICAL SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS, WHICH ARE HYPOTHETICAL AND MAY NEVER BE ACHIEVED. Reasons for a deviation may also include, but are by no means limited to, changes in regulatory and/or tax law, generally unfavorable market conditions and the Risk Factors set forth below.
