<p>It is important to note that the shutting down of EFUT fits well into VanEck’s transition towards the newly launched spot Ethereum ETF, ETHV. The firm said that this was due to many reasons such as performance of the funds, their ability to have access to cash and interest from the investors.&nbsp;</p>  
<p>VanEck is always reviewing its ETF lineup, and when it received ETHV approval in May, it decided to stick with its spot product, which currently accounts for 1.97% of the spot Ethereum ETF market. ETHV also made a trading volume of $2.11 million on Sep 5</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-countdown-to-cash-out-critical-dates-for-efut-investors">Countdown to Cash-Out: Critical Dates for EFUT Investors</h2>  
<p>Shareholders of the VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF (EFUT) will have to exit their positions by the end of trading on Sept 16. Also, starting from that date, EFUT will be delisted from the exchanges as the company proceeds to the process of winding down. Those who will have not tendered their shares will have their stocks sold on their behalf by Sept23. Such investors will get a cash sum which will be equal to the value of the shares in case of their liquidation.</p>  
<p>EFUT that was traded at the CBOE exchange had total net assets of $2.24 million by Sept5. Currently, the fund has a Net Asset Value (NAV) of $20.23 and entered the market on October 2, 2023, which means that the fund is relatively new to the market.</p>  
<p>The shutdown of EFUT could indicate changes within the <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/investment-shifts-in-ethereum-etfs-highlight-market-dynamics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETF </a>market as firms respond to the changing preferences of investors. It is advisable that investors should keep abreast with certain dates and conduct portfolio reviews before the process of liquidation is complete.</p>
