According to a filing submitted with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 2 by the New York Stock Exchange Arca, the firm seeks the conversion of the existing trust, which provides indirect exposure to Ether via futures contracts, into the spot ETF, which will offer direct exposure to spot prices.&nbsp;

Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein also <a style="color: #252525" href="https://twitter.com/Sonnenshein/status/1708822298738737328">announced</a> the developments via his official handle on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), while adding: 
“As we file to convert ETHE to an ETF, the natural next step in the product’s evolution, we recognize this as an important moment to bring Ethereum even further into the U.S. regulatory perimeter.” 
He also added that the investment management firm intends to provide conventional investment products offering exposure to digital assets.

It is crucial to note that the Grayscale Ethereum Trust was first launched in March 2019 and went on to become an SEC reporting company in October 2020. During that time, the fund was one of the first to offer exposure to the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency. Interestingly, at the time of writing, the <a style="color: #252525" href="https://www.grayscale.com/crypto-products/grayscale-ethereum-trust">price</a> of the Ethereum Trust stands at $11.06.
