Grayscale Investments, a cryptocurrency asset manager, has set July 18, 2024, as the record date for the initial creation and distribution of shares in its new Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH Trust) to shareholders of the existing Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE). 
ETHE shareholders as of 4:00 PM ET on the record date will receive shares of the new ETH Trust on a 1:1 ratio. Grayscale also plans to contribute 10% of ETHE’s Ether holdings to the new trust. 
According to the <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/07/08/2909981/0/en/Grayscale-Investments-Announces-Record-Date-and-Ex-Distribution-Date-for-Grayscale-Ethereum-Trust-Ticker-ETHE-Shareholders.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">news release</a>, the company intends to list the ETH Trust on NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol “ETH,” pending necessary regulatory approvals. This listing could potentially enhance liquidity and accessibility for Ethereum investors, opening the market to a broader range of participants. 
The distribution process has been designed to be straightforward for current ETHE shareholders. They will not need to pay any consideration, exchange or surrender existing shares, or take any other action to receive the new ETH Trust shares.&nbsp; 
Following the record date, ETHE shares will trade without the right to receive ETH Trust shares, with the distribution date set no earlier than July 19, 2024. 
In addition, there are several conditions that Grayscale has provided that must be satisfied before distribution occurs. These conditions include the filing and effectiveness of the ETH Trust’s registration statement on Form 8-A, the effectiveness of its registration statement on Form S-1, and approval to list on NYSE Arca. The company emphasizes that while they have established a timeline, there is no guarantee that the distribution will proceed as planned. 
From a tax perspective, Grayscale anticipates that neither ETHE nor its shareholders will recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the distribution in light of certain qualifications specified in its preliminary information statement for this purpose. Nonetheless, shareholders are strongly advised to consult with their own tax advisors regarding individual tax implications. 
This development comes at a time when Ethereum continues to play a pivotal role in the digital asset industry. It addresses the evolving needs of investors who are looking for more targeted opportunities to make more profits in the crypto industry.
