The fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in these Digital Asset Treasury Companies, with the adviser defining eligible companies as those that maintain a significant portion of their holdings in crypto.
The fund expects to hold approximately 10 to 15 positions, comprising 5 to 10 issuers, under current market conditions, with a primary focus on US-listed securities.
GSR’s four Ethereum-centered funds target different aspects of staking rewards and yield generation.
The GSR Ethereum Staking Opportunity ETF aims to replicate ETH’s performance, including staking rewards. At the same time, the GSR Crypto StakingMax ETF aims to achieve capital appreciation through investments in crypto based on proof-of-stake consensus.
The GSR Ethereum YieldEdge ETF combines Ethereum staking exposure with derivatives to enhance yield.
Each fund structures its approach to maintain daily liquidity while maximizing staking participation, with portfolio management ensuring no more than 15% of assets remain illiquid under Rule 22e-4 requirements.
