Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (ETC) (ETCG) reports a change in how it values its Ethereum Classic (ETC) holdings and calculates NAV and NAV per share. Effective September 1, 2026, the trust will use the CoinDesk Ethereum Classic Benchmark Extended Rate as its reference index and Index Price.
The filing describes in detail the index’s methodology, including selection criteria for Constituent Trading Platforms, volume-weighted pricing, FX conversion to USD, outlier exclusion, inactivity adjustments, and manipulation-resistance features. It also outlines a cascading backup process for determining the Index Price if the primary index, a secondary Coin Metrics rate, or principal market data become unavailable or are deemed inaccurate, after which the sponsor may use its own good faith estimate.
Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (ETC) holds only Ethereum Classic (ETC) and seeks for its Shares to reflect ETC value less expenses. As of June 30, 2026, the Trust’s net assets were $75.3 million, based on ETC held at fair value.
Over the six months ended June 30, 2026, net assets decreased by $50.7 million, a 40% decline, driven primarily by ETC price falling from $11.47 to $6.94 and payment of the Sponsor’s Fee. Principal Market NAV per Share dropped from $9.00 to $5.38, a total return of -40.22%. The Trust held 10,850,162.72229920 ETC, or about 0.7754 ETC per Share, with no creations or redemptions during the period.
The Trust pays the Sponsor a 2.5% annual fee on assets, accruing daily and settled in ETC; $1.22 million (about 135,354 ETC) was distributed for this fee in the first half of 2026. The Trust does not currently operate, and has no present intention to seek approval for, an ongoing redemption program and remains fully concentrated in ETC, exposing it to that asset’s significant price volatility.
Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (ETCG) reports a leadership transition at its sponsor’s finance function. Effective July 2, 2026, Kathryn Masci and Daniel Plourde, both Senior Vice Presidents of Finance, are appointed interim Co-Chief Financial Officers of Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC.
Masci is also joining the sponsor’s Board of Managers and becomes the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer of the trust. They succeed Edward McGee, who is stepping down after about seven years as Chief Financial Officer for personal reasons, with the company stating there is no disagreement regarding operations, policies, or practices.
Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (ETC) reports a sharp drop in value as Ethereum Classic prices fell in early 2026. Net assets declined to $89.4M at March 31, 2026 from $126.0M at year-end 2025, with the Principal Market NAV per share falling from $9.00 to $6.39.
The Trust recorded a net decrease in net assets from operations of $36.6M for the quarter, driven by a $35.9M realized and unrealized loss on its Ethereum Classic holdings and a $0.7M Sponsor’s Fee. ETC’s price on the principal market declined from $11.47 to $8.19, producing a total return of -29.00% for shareholders.
The Trust held about 10.9 million ETC and 13,993,800 shares outstanding, with no creations or redemptions during the period. Expenses remained at an annualized 2.5% of average net assets, and the Trust continued to operate without leverage, derivatives or a redemption program.
Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (ETC) provides passive exposure to Ethereum Classic by holding ETC directly in institutional cold storage, targeting share value based on an index price of ETC less fees and liabilities. The Trust held about 7% of all ETC in circulation as of December 31, 2025, with each share representing roughly 0.7850 ETC. As of March 6, 2026, there were 13,993,800 shares outstanding, and non‑affiliate holdings were valued at $115,325,290 on June 30, 2025. Because there is currently no redemption program and creations can be halted, the shares have not tracked net asset value reliably: from May 2018 to December 2025, they traded at premiums up to 458% and discounts up to 77%, with an average 45% discount and a 28% discount at year‑end 2025. The Trust highlights extensive risk factors tied to ETC price volatility, digital asset market structure, evolving regulation, and reliance on third‑party service providers.
Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (ETCG) is informing investors how to treat its presence on X (formerly Twitter), especially the use of ticker symbols with a “$” cashtag. When Grayscale-related accounts post cashtags, X automatically links them to pages that aggregate market data, news, and commentary from various third parties.
The trust explains that Grayscale does not control, endorse, or take responsibility for any information on those X-generated pages or other third-party sites reached through them. That content is not authorized or verified by Grayscale and may conflict with its official disclosures. Investors are directed to rely on Grayscale’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings for authoritative and up-to-date information about the trust and its products.
Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (ETCG) reported Q3 2025 results reflecting the movement of Ethereum Classic (ETC). Net assets were $203.2 million, up 9% in the quarter as ETC’s principal market price rose to $18.38. The Trust held 11,054,961.678 ETC and had 13,993,800 Shares outstanding. Principal Market NAV per Share was $14.52.
Operations were driven by price action: Q3 net increase in net assets from operations was $16.6 million, including $18.1 million of realized/unrealized gains, offset by a $1.44 million Sponsor’s Fee. For the nine months, net assets decreased by $79.9 million as ETC fell from $25.13 at year-end to $18.38. The annual Sponsor’s Fee is 2.5% of assets, paid in ETC, which also reduces ETC per Share (approximately 0.7900 ETC per Share at September 30, 2025, from 0.8049 at December 31, 2024). No Share creations or redemptions occurred, and the Trust is not operating a redemption program.
