ARK Invest has formally applied to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the launch of an Ethereum Spot ETF. The investment firm is collaborating with 21Shares, a renowned ETF provider.

The ARK 21Shares Ethereum ETF aims to mirror the performance of Ethereum’s native digital asset, ETH. It will use the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate, New York Variant as its benchmark index.

The ETF is slated to be listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange and will trade under the ticker ARKE. An annual fee of 0.95% will be levied, covering the trust’s operational expenses and other liabilities.

The ETF will exclusively focus on ETH, avoiding investment in derivatives or other non-Ethereum-based assets. As the sub-advisor, ARK Invest will be responsible for marketing the ETF shares.The application comes as multiple companies are submitting Ethereum Spot ETF proposals to the SEC, signaling a bullish sentiment for Ethereum-based investment products.
