AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA)

iShares Ethereum Trust adds Anchorage Digital Bank as second ether custodian

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 product/contract Written later

The Trust's sponsor signed a custodial services agreement on April 7, 2025, with Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., adding a second custodian alongside Coinbase, which remains in place. The filing says the Sponsor has no current plans to move any ether to Anchorage, so the change is administrative and adds a custody option rather than altering existing holdings.

Key points

  • Agreement with Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., a national trust bank chartered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, dated April 7, 2025
  • Coinbase custody arrangement remains in force and is unaffected
  • Anchorage must keep the Trust's private keys in cold storage and maintain certain insurance coverage
  • Sponsor has no current plans to move any of the Trust's ether to Anchorage
