Every three ETHA shares held as of the October 5 record date will be consolidated into one share. The change will increase the fund\u2019s per-share net asset value while leaving each investor\u2019s total holding value unchanged.<\/p>\n<p>ETHA has traded around $14 after falling alongside ether this year. The reverse split would lift the share price to roughly $42 at current levels.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg Intelligence analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EricBalchunas\/status\/2084737824830758934?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eric Balchunas said<\/a> the higher share price could reduce ETHA\u2019s effective trading cost by narrowing spreads.
