The top Ethereum ETNs and ETFs

How can I buy Ethereum?

Ethereum is a platform for smart contracts and digital certifications that also gives users access to the cryptocurrency Ether. Ether is unaffected by traditional, political money systems like the US dollar or the euro, just like Bitcoin. The possession of computer-generated keys governs the ownership of Ether. Without the use of a bank, payments are performed over a network of computers that have equal rights and are cryptographically validated. The administration is carried out using a synchronized, decentralized accounting system known as the "blockchain." Ether's exchange rate to traditional currencies is determined by the same formula as stock exchange pricing.


After Bitcoin, ether is the second-oldest cryptocurrency. One significant distinction between Ether and Bitcoin is that there is no cap on the total number of tokens that may be generated. However, the technique of creating new Ether coins—known as mining—by resolving cryptographic puzzles is comparable to that of Bitcoin. Significant amounts of energy and computing power are needed for the mining process.


Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs) allow investors to partake in Ether returns. The majority of ETNs use real ether as security for a sizable portion of their invested assets. Because of the legal framework established by the UCITS standards, Ether ETFs are not available in the majority of European nations. According to the regulations, a UCITS fund cannot be started with just one component.

However, blockchain ETFs offer a way to use ETFs to participate in the rapidly expanding cryptocurrency sector. These ETFs track indices made up of businesses that deal with blockchain-related processes, infrastructure, and technologies.

You can invest in Ether using all physically-backed ETNs, which are listed in this investment guide. See our cryptocurrency investing guide for a list of all currently offered crypto ETNs.
