Asset management VanEck has announced that it will donate 10% of the profit from its Ethereum Futures ETF to Ethereum's Protocol Guild for at least 10 years. This revelation comes at a time when the market is expecting the launch of several futures ETFs. In a statement on September 29, VanEck expressed its intention to contribute a portion of its profit to Ethereum's protocol guild as a gesture of appreciation for their contribution to the network's infrastructure. The protocol guild consists of 152 members who have played a significant role in building and maintaining Ethereum's core protocol over the past decade, including their involvement in recent upgrades such as the Merge and Shanghai.
The donation from VanEck also coincides with their plan to launch an Ethereum Futures ETF product in the coming week. While the fund is currently effective, it is not yet available for trading. VanEck has promised to provide more details soon regarding the trading availability. It is worth noting that VanEck's donation offer may spark a marketing competition among the upcoming Ethereum Future ETFs, as Bloomberg analyst James Seyfarrt suggests. VanEck had previously released a TV commercial for their Ethereum Strategy ETF, creating anticipation among viewers for its imminent launch.
As Ethereum futures ETFs gain traction and recognition from investors, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to approve an Ether futures ETF before the government shutdown. This development aligns with the SEC's desire to expedite the launch of Ether futures ETFs. While Bitcoin spot ETF applications remain in limbo, the Ethereum futures ETFs are becoming increasingly popular as a viable investment option.
