### In plain words

A spot Ether ETF owns Ether, the coin of the Ethereum network, with a custodian, so its price follows Ether less the sponsor fee. Ether can earn staking rewards, which a fund may or may not collect.

ETFIQ covers 11 spot Ether funds at a median sponsor fee of 0.21%. It reads three things about staking: what the network allows, what the filings say and what prices did. They can differ, so check each filing and the tracking difference. Staking adds return and some extra risk.
