 <p>In the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="amended" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/amended.html">amended</a> S-1, Franklin Templeton plans to charge a competitive 0.19% sponsor fee for the ETF, which is could be the lowest among its peers.</p>
 <h2 id="franklin-templeton-success-with-crypto-etfs">Franklin Templeton success with crypto ETFs</h2>
 <p>Franklin Templeton was among the eleven firms whose spot Bitcoin ETFs were approved by the SEC at the start of the year.</p>
 <p>The firm’s foray into the Ethereum ETF space is buoyed by the success of its spot Bitcoin ETF, which currently manages approximately $350 million in assets. This strong performance of the Bitcoin ETF underscores the firm’s capability in managing cryptocurrency investment products and sets a promising precedent for its upcoming Ethereum ETF.</p>
 <p>Its spot ether ETF application positions it among a growing number of financial institutions seeking to offer investors exposure to Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, without the need to directly purchase the digital asset.</p>
 <h2 id="franklin-templeton-s-aggressive-crypto-etfs-fee-structure">Franklin Templeton’s aggressive crypto ETFs fee structure</h2>
 <p>Franklin Templeton’s proposed 0.19% fee mirrors the fee structure of its spot Bitcoin ETF (EZBC), which is also set at 0.19%, making it the lowest among similar financial products currently available.</p>
 <p>Initially, Franklin Templeton did not charge any fee for investing in its spot Bitcoin ETF, a strategy likely designed to attract initial investors and build momentum.</p>
 <p>Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg’s Senior ETF Analyst, commented on Franklin Templeton’s aggressive fee structure in a post on X saying, “The opening shot in the Eth ETF fee war has been fired from Franklin, 19bps.”</p>
 <p>Balchunas’ comment highlights the competitive nature of the burgeoning Ethereum ETF market, where cost efficiency is a critical factor for attracting investors.</p>
 <p>As firms rush against time to beat the Friday deadline, the stage is set for a new wave of Ethereum-based financial products to enter the market.</p>
 <p>Although it may take a few weeks for these filings to become effective, the expectations that the ETFs could begin trading in a month’s time if not in a few weeks’ time.</p>
