This material must be preceded or accompanied by a Prospectus. An investment in the VanEck Ethereum ETF (the “Trust,” or “ETHV”) may not be suitable for all investors. Before investing you should carefully consider the Trust’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses.

Investing involves significant risk, and you could lose money on an investment in the Trust. The value of ether is highly volatile, and the value of the Trust’s shares could decline rapidly, including to zero. You could lose your entire principal investment. For a more complete discussion of the risk factors relative to the Trust, carefully read the prospectus.

The Trust’s investment objective is to reflect the performance of the price of Ether (“ETH”) less the expenses of the Trust’s operations. The Trust is a passive investment vehicle that does not seek to pursue any investment strategy beyond tracking the price of ETH.

The Trust is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) or a commodity pool for the purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). Shares of the Trust are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds. As a result, shareholders of ETHV do not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in an investment company registered under the 1940 Act or the protections afforded by the CEA.

An investment in the Trust is subject to risks which include, but are not limited to, the historically and potentially future extreme volatility of ether, various potential factors that may adversely affect the liquidity of Trust shares, the limited history of the Index from which the value of ether and hence the value of Trust shares will be determined, potential threats to the Trust’s Ethereum custodian, and the unregulated nature and lack of transparency surrounding the operations of ether trading platforms, all of which may ultimately adversely affect the value of shares of the Trust. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of risks pertaining to the Trust. Please read carefully the prospectus for a complete list of potential risks.

Because shares of the Trust are intended to reflect the price of the ether held in the Trust, the market price of the shares is subject to fluctuations similar to those affecting ether prices. Additionally, shares of the Trust are bought and sold at market price, not at net asset value (“NAV”). Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

Trust shares trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk and will fluctuate in market value. The value of Trust shares relates directly to the value of the ether held by the Trust (less its expenses), and fluctuations in the price of ether could materially and adversely affect an investment in the shares. The price received upon the sale of the shares, which trade at market price, may be more or less than the value of the ether represented by them. The Trust does not generate any income, and as the Trust regularly issues shares to pay for the Sponsor’s ongoing expenses, the amount of ether represented by each Share will decline over time.
