The launch showcases a growing interest in the potential of Ethereum and the burgeoning desire to provide investors with instruments to gain exposure. 
EFUT diverges from the conventional approach to crypto ETFs since it is crafted not to directly invest in Ethereum or any other <a href="https://crypto.news/market-cap/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/market-cap/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">digital currencies</a>. Instead, it will channel investments into standardized, cash-settled ETH futures contracts sourced exclusively from commodity exchanges endorsed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/cftc/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CFTC</a>).

Currently, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is the sole destination for these futures. It is the only platform that matches the demanded and specific criteria set by VanEck. 
EFUT will be listed at the Chicago Board Options Exchange (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/cboe/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/cboe/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CBOE</a>). 
Steering the ship at VanEck for this venture will be Greg Krenzer, the head of active trading. 
In related developments, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently postponed their verdict on another VanEck venture – the proposed spot Ethereum fund, dubbed the <a href="https://crypto.news/cboe-filed-two-requests-for-first-spot-ethereum-etf/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/cboe-filed-two-requests-for-first-spot-ethereum-etf/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">VanEck Ethereum ETF</a>.
