EA Series Trust ARK 21Shares Active Ethereum Futures Strategy ETF

ARKZ holds standardized, cash-settled Ether futures traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). With a targeted allocation of over 25% of total assets, the fund operates through a subsidiary structure based in the Cayman Islands. The fund employs a rolling strategy that seeks optimal roll yield by investing in contracts with the most attractive combination of cost, liquidity, and other relevant factors. Typically, these contracts have monthly or quarterly contract periods. Moreover, the fund may invest in front-month Ether Futures contracts and usually rolls to the next nearby contracts at the time believed to generate the greatest roll yield. To provide liquidity and collateral for Ether Futures investments, the remaining assets are diversified into short-term cash instruments, including U.S. Treasury securities and money market instruments. Additionally, the fund may engage in leveraging through reverse repurchase agreements.
