In plain words
Over the year to Sep 11, 2026, Ether moved −43.6% and FETH returned −42.8%. That leaves it 0.79 of a percentage point ahead. That difference is 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, all of it together. It is the only figure on this page the sponsor does not publish itself. FETH charges 0.25% a year and still finished 0.8% ahead of Ether, which a fee cannot do on its own. Ether is a proof of stake chain, so a fund holding it can stake. FETH’s own filings say it does (424B3, Aug 21, 2026). It charges 0.25% and finished only −0.8% behind Ether, so staking covered about 1.0% of that fee over these days. A spot trust is not a registered investment company. It files a 10-K rather than an N-PORT, and its holding is one line: the Ether it custodies.

Questions people ask
- Does FETH track Ether?
- Over the year to Sep 11, 2026 it returned −42.8% against Ether’s −43.6%, which leaves it 0.79 of a percentage point ahead. That difference carries the fee, the custody cost and the market’s pricing of the shares, and ETFIQ computes it from the fund’s own closes and the coin’s own closes over the same two dates.
- Does FETH stake?
- Ether is a proof of stake chain, so staking is possible. Whether this fund stakes, and what the sponsor keeps of it, is a term in its own filings and is read from those rather than assumed.
- What is FETH?
- Fidelity Ethereum Fund, a spot Ether trust sponsored by Fidelity, listed Jul 23, 2024. It holds the coin through a custodian rather than futures on it or shares in companies that own it.
The words on this page
- Tracking difference
- The fund’s total return minus the coin’s over exactly the same days, in percentage points. The fee, the custody cost, the creation and redemption friction and whatever the market paid for the shares, all of it, in one number.
- Spot
- The fund holds the coin itself, through a custodian, rather than futures on it or shares in companies that own it. Only spot funds are on this desk; the others are measured where they belong.
- Sponsor
- Who runs the trust. A spot crypto ETF is a 1933 Act trust rather than a registered investment company, so it has a sponsor rather than an adviser, and files a 10-K rather than an N-PORT.
- Thinly quoted
- A fund whose price sat unchanged on more than one trading day in twenty. Its quoted return is what somebody paid on the days anyone traded, which is not the same thing as what the fund did, so ETFIQ shows it and does not rank it against funds that trade.
- Staking
- Only proof of stake coins can be staked, so it exists for ether and Solana funds and cannot exist for a bitcoin one. Where a fund stakes, the yield and the sponsor’s share of it are terms in its own filings.
