Those are not set against each other here, because the two windows are not the same days, so neither is nearer its coin than the other on this page. Each difference carries the fee, the custody cost, the friction of creating and redeeming shares in blocks and whatever the market paid for the shares rather than for the coin."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do ETHB or FETH pay a staking yield?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Ether is a proof of stake chain, so staking is possible. Whether either trust stakes, and what the sponsor keeps of it, is a term in its own filings and is read from those rather than assumed."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the difference between ETHB and FETH?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Both hold Ether through a custodian and both trade on an exchange, so what separates them is what each costs a holder over time.
