<p>Crypto, far from being an isolated revolution, acts as a catalyst: it pushes its followers to invent ever bolder mechanisms to attract markets. It is in this spirit that Grayscale, a major player in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), orchestrated a mathematical sleight of hand on its flagship products Bitcoin and Ethereum. Let’s discover how the ETH ETF saw its value multiply through a clever reverse split.</p>
<h2 id="h-grayscale-frappe-fort-avec-une-hausse-de-10x-sur-son-etf-ethereum">Grayscale strikes hard with a 10x increase on its Ethereum ETF</h2>
<p>On November 19, Grayscale, already <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-blackrock-surpasses-grayscale-and-becomes-the-new-king-of-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">surpassed by BlackRock</a>, struck hard: the Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (ETH) underwent <strong><a href="https://www.grayscale.com/blog/general-updates/btc-eth-reverse-share-splits-are-coming-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a reverse split</a> of 10 pre-split shares</strong> for one post-split share. The result? A <strong>staggering increase in the unit value of the ETF,</strong> which was multiplied by 10.</p>

<p>The price per share is <strong>up to $2.90 in pre-market</strong>, a real spotlight on this fund.</p>

<p>However, this rise is not a magical enrichment. Investors see their shares reduced in <strong>an identical proportion to the increase in value</strong>, thus balancing the situation. Grayscale assures that “<em>portfolios remain unchanged</em>“.</p>
<p>But the operation has a clear goal: <strong>to make the ETH ETF more accessible and attractive</strong> to investors.</p>

<p>Key figures:</p>
<ul>
 <li><strong>10 pre-split shares = 1 post-split share; </strong></li>
 <li><strong>10x increase for the nominal value of the share; </strong></li>
 <li><strong>Fractionality of shares adjusted automatically without shareholder intervention. </strong></li>
</ul>

<p>With this maneuver, Grayscale aims to <strong>attract a community of investors seeking stability and practicality</strong>. But this innovation could turn into a Damocles sword for Ethereum. Some analysts point to the risks associated with an excessive manipulation of these funds, which could <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-heres-how-grayscales-etf-could-crush-ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">erode confidence in the ETH crypto itself</a>.</p>

However, it is the ETH ETF that attracts the most attention. A humorous note from Grayscale during the announcement:</p>
<p>” <em>If everything seems more expensive, it’s to better meet your expectations!</em>“.</p>
