Key Terms

exchange traded products financial

"one of the world’s largest issuers of cryptocurrency exchange traded products (ETPs)"

Exchange traded products are securities that trade on stock exchanges and are designed to track the price of an asset, index, or investment strategy—think of them as a single basket you can buy that represents many underlying things like stocks, bonds, or commodities. They matter to investors because they offer an easy, often lower-cost way to get broad or targeted market exposure and can be bought or sold throughout the trading day like a regular share, making diversification and tactical moves simpler.

staking rewards technical

"distribution dates for the 21shares Ethereum ETF (TETH) for staking rewards earned"

Staking rewards are incentives given to individuals who commit their cryptocurrency holdings to support a blockchain network's operations, such as confirming transactions and maintaining security. Think of it like earning interest or dividends for locking up your savings or investments, encouraging people to keep their assets engaged in keeping the system running smoothly. For investors, staking rewards provide a way to earn passive income while helping to secure the network.

Investment Company Act of 1940 regulatory

"The Trust is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940"

A U.S. federal law that sets the rulebook for pooled investment vehicles such as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and similar money managers, requiring them to register with regulators, disclose holdings and fees, limit conflicts of interest, and follow governance standards. It matters to investors because these protections and transparency rules act like a referee and scoreboard, helping people compare funds, trust that managers follow fair practices, and spot hidden costs or risks.

creation units financial

"Only Authorized Participants may trade directly with the Trust and only large blocks of Shares called "creation units.""

Creation units are large blocks of an exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) shares that big market players can exchange with the fund for the underlying basket of securities, or vice versa. Think of it like a bakery swapping a box of finished cookies for the exact ingredients — this mechanism helps keep the ETF’s market price close to the value of its holdings, supports liquidity, and lets investors buy or sell without large price gaps.
