See 9 funds ranked by the fund’s return minus the coin’s, one year. Updated Oct 27, 2026. A fund ahead of ether either staked what it holds, which only a proof of stake chain allows, or ended the window at a higher premium to its net asset value than it began.

Method

The 11 spot ether ETFs ETFIQ can measure, ranked by how close each came to the coin it holds.

The rest of the method

The difference carries the fee, the custody cost, the friction of creating and redeeming in blocks, and whatever the market paid for the shares rather than for the coin. Thinly quoted trusts are left out: a fund whose price sat unchanged on more than one trading day in twenty tops this list for a reason that has nothing to do with tracking. ETFIQ lists them on the crypto page and does not rank them here. The list sorts one published number, with no scoring or weighting. Every fund ETFIQ covers in this category is eligible, closed funds included.
