21Shares US LLC, an affiliate of 21Shares AG, has integrated Chainlink's Proof of Reserve on Ethereum mainnet to enhance the transparency of its Core Ethereum ETF (CETH).&nbsp;
This move aims to provide clear visibility into the Ethereum reserves backing the ETF and bolster investor confidence, according to a press release shared with BSCN.

Chainlink Proof of Reserve offers real-time and historical data on reserves. As per reports, It allows anyone to verify the collateralization of CETH independently. This integration ensures that the ETF is transparently backed by Ether (ETH), the second-largest crypto asset by market capitalization.

 "21Shares is playing an important role in supporting the adoption of digital assets, and the Chainlink platform is helping financial institutions realize the vision of seamless tokenization on a global scale," Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer of Chainlink Labs, said.

Worth noting, in February 2024, 21Shares announced the integration of Chainlink Proof of Reserve for the Bitcoin reserves backing the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF. This ETF, launched in January 2024, currently has $3.2 billion in assets under management (AUM).
