Methodic CoinDesk ETH Staking Fund
Launched in collaboration with CoinDesk Indices, the Methodic CoinDesk ETH Staking Fund seeks to match the returns of our benchmark, the CoinDesk Ether Total Return Index (ETXTR). The index is a blend of the CoinDesk Ether Price Index (ETX) and CESR™ the Composite Ether Staking Rate. CESR is administered by CoinFund and calculated by CoinDesk Indices.
The Methodic CoinDesk ETH Staking Fund delivers numerous benefits for institutional investors:
Traditional Balance Sheet Compatibility
Subscribe in fiat currency and redeem in fiat or crypto. Our private fund shares can be held on balance sheets that cannot yet hold crypto.
Commercial Treasury Management
Firms moving on-chain or contemplating a move in the future can accumulate ETH and earn rewards in ETH now, in anticipation of future gas fees. Firms can subscribe in fiat or crypto and redeem in ETH or fiat.
Tokenized Fund Shares
Investors can elect to tokenize our fund shares on ETH Mainnet or Polygon. Tokens can be held in a qualified custodian and, in certain situations, traded on a secondary market. Non-crypto native investors can benefit by holding, transferring, or custodying tokens to help build internal token balance sheet and accounting operations without worry. Our traditional fund shares, managed by our fund administrator, are the source of truth.
Highly compliant
Every aspect of our fund and strategy is as compliant as possible. Our partners are regulated, KYC/AML, and whitelisted. We work with only the top names in the industry. Placements are through a FINRA registered broker-dealer, assets are held in QC
