Grayscale Ethereum ETF Mini-Trust Announces Full Fee Waiver Up to This Limit

With just four days left into the launch of the spot Ethereum ETF, Grayscale has announced some major changes to its fee structure thereby making its ETH mini-trust the cheapest among its competitors.
Grayscale Ethereum ETF Fee Waiver
Earlier this week, Grayscale announced the Ethereum ETF fee structure at a staggering 2.5% making it 10x more costly than all of its competitors in the market. This move put Grayscale in a bad light with analysts stating that the asset manager hasn’t learnt enough lessons despite outflows from its spot Bitcoin ETFs in the past six months.
As part of this course correction, Grayscale cut short the fees of its Ethereum mini-trust to just 15 basis points. Furthermore, the asset manager has announced a complete fee waiver for up to $2 billion in inflows or six months whichever is early.
Lowered to 15 bps, with full waiver for first $2 bn. This is what I was expecting yesterday. Grayscale wised up. https://t.co/Y0sXyTS0JT pic.twitter.com/nyuuDuTUxq

Interestingly, this fee revision makes the Grayscale Ethereum mini-trust the cheapest among all of the ETH ETF issuers currently in the market.

Nate Geraci Praises Grayscale
ETF Store President Nate Geraci has applauded Grayscale for undertaking this strategic shift and competing with other market players. Geraci stated, “Bravo, Grayscale… This is how you go for the jugular.”
Geraci further added that Grayscale has paved the regulatory path for the spot Bitcoin ETF and Ethereum ETFs. Thus, he added that there is no reason not to capitalize on this advantage by taking a leadership position in the spot crypto ETF category.
Bravo, Grayscale…
This is how you go for the jugular.
Grayscale paved regulatory path for spot btc & eth ETFs. Period.
No reason not to capitalize on that by taking leadership position in how they approach competition in spot crypto ETF category.
Smart move IMO. https://t.co/j9EvuoxdA4

The Ethereum price has remained largely stable after rallying all the way up to $3,500 earlier this week. As of press time, ETH is trading around $3,400 as investors cautiously await the ETF launch next week.
As per data from Deribit, Ethereum options with a notional value of $0.48 billion are set to expire today. The put/call ratio is only 0.36 which suggests that the market is majorly bullish. On the other hand, the max pain point stands at $3,150.

Is Solana Forming a Death Cross Against Bitcoin?

Solana (SOL) price has been under pressure recently, leading to concerns about a potential downtrend against Bitcoin (BTC). On the SOL/BTC price chart are signs that the cryptocurrency could be forming a “death cross,” a pattern that suggests a further decline in price.
This follows a period of weak performance for Solana relative to Bitcoin, sparking discussions on whether the altcoin can recover or continue to underperform.
Will Solana Form a Death Cross Against Bitcoin?
Over the past few months, Solana price has experienced a sharp decline when compared to Bitcoin. As of mid-April 2025, Solana is priced at 0.00158 BTC, down by 23% from earlier in the month. This comes after a significant 54% drop since January, showing a steady loss in value relative to Bitcoin.
The recent drop in Solana’s price has raised concerns among traders and analysts. Moving averages, which track price trends over time, have been narrowing, which is often a precursor to a potential death cross formation.


Specifically, the 23-day moving average is approaching the 200-day moving average in the weekly chart, a key level for technical analysts. If it crosses below the 200-day average, it would officially signal a death cross. This could indicate a further decline in Solana’s price against Bitcoin.
Solana’s Recent Performance and Market Trend
Nonetheless, Solana has had some strength, which can be attributed to the recent launch of Solana ETFs in Canada.
At the same time, institutional investors’ attention contributed to the altcoin’s success in surpassing the performance of numerous other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. Solana delivered a 10.5% return within a week, while Bitcoin delivered a 1.8% return in the same time frame.
Nonetheless, the recent excitement about Solana appears to have subsided with the lessened market movements. Analysts like Ali Charts are now analysing whether the recent strength was just a blip in the charts or the first sign of an actual trend reversal to $65.
SOL/BTC Technical Patterns and Support Levels
Based on the current technical perspective, Solana’s price trend against Bitcoin has established the “Falling wedge” chart. This pattern is normally noticed during the consolidation phase, and the break above the upper trend line is usually interpreted as a signal for a bullish move.
The declining moving averages indicate that Solana may continue to decline against Bitcoin and possibly test lower supports despite the SOL/ETH ratio recording its highest weekly close
At present, the price is almost at the apex of the wedge pattern, meaning that it can break soon. If the price surmounts the resistance level at around 0.0018BTC, it will possibly lead to a bullish run and might even regain the value of 0.001895BTC for Sol. However, if the price cannot hold its support at 0.0014 BTC, then it may decrease even lower.


Solana’s performance against Bitcoin will be very significant over the next few weeks. The potential death cross and the support and resistance levels on the chart pinpoint that Solana might experience a difficult time moving forward. If the trend persists, the altcoin could potentially drop as low as 0.001 BTC—a price point that, when measured in dollar terms, is below $100.

XRP Price History Signals July As The Next Bullish Month

Based on historical data, July could be the next bullish month for the XRP price, which continues to consolidate amid this crypto market downtrend. Despite the market downturn, crypto analysts like CasiTrades are confident that the altcoin could still reach a new all-time high (ATH) in this market cycle.
Historical Data Points To July Being The Next Bullish Month For The XRP Price
Cryptorank data shows that July could be the next bullish month for the XRP price. This is based on the fact that the altcoin has recorded significant gains in each of the last five Julys.
Unlike July, April to June have been mixed for XRP over the last five years. For April, the last three out of five months have been bearish for the altcoin, although it recorded a 174% gain in April 2021.
For May, three out of the last five months have been bearish for the XRP price, although it recorded meagre gains in May 2023 and 2024. Meanwhile, June has been completely bearish for the altcoin, as it recorded monthly losses in the last five months.
It is worth mentioning that four out of the five monthly gains for XRP in July have been double-digit gains. As such, Ripple’s native crypto could again record double-digit gains this coming July.
Interestingly, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto predicted that XRP could reach double digits by its July 21 cycle peak. He alluded to the altcoin’s previous bull runs as to why July could mark this cycle’s peak. The analyst believes the Ripple price could reach $27 by then.
Analysts Argue XRP’s Consolidation Could End Soon
Amid this historical data, crypto analysts Dark Defender and CasiTrades have suggested that the XRP price consolidation could end soon. In an X post, Dark Defender stated that the altcoin’s consolidation is nearing an end and that he believes this is the final consolidation of the monthly structure.
Once this consolidation is done, the crypto analyst remarked that market participants can expect the Wave 5, which will send Ripple’s native crypto to new highs. He highlighted $2.22 and $2.30 as the major resistances to watch out for, while $1.88 and $1.63 are the major support levels. Meanwhile, the targets on this Wave 5 up are $3.75 and $5.85, which will mark a new ATH for the altcoin.
As CoinGape reported, crypto analyst CasiTrades also predicted that the XRP price could soon reach $6 as Wave 2 correction nears its end. The analyst also raised the possibility of the altcoin rallying to as high as $9.50 and $12 if it reaches the 2.618 and 3.618 Fibonacci extension levels, respectively.
However, there is still the possibility of the XRP price dropping below the $2 level before it rallies to new highs. Egrag Crypto warned that Ripple’s native crypto could still drop to as low as $1.4 in the event of a major liquidation.
