Ethereum ETF Fee Wars Heat Up as Issuers Slash Rates

The race to lower fees for spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has begun as applicants aggressively reduce costs to attract investors.
Experts note that fee wars are common in the ETF industry, as issuers tend to reduce their expense ratios to attract inflows. The crypto industry experienced this firsthand during the January approval process for spot Bitcoin ETFs by the SEC.
ETH ETF Fee Wars on The Horizon
Bloomberg’s ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that the industry has seen its “opening shot in the ETH ETF fee war.” This happened after Franklin Templeton submitted its revised application to the SEC on May 31, introducing a 0.19% fee for its proposed spot Ethereum ETF. Additionally, the company said it would waive fees on the first $10 billion in assets for the first six months.
“The Sponsor’s Fee is accrued daily at an annualized rate equal to 0.19% of the net asset value of the Fund and is payable at least quarterly in arrears in US dollars or in-kind or any combination thereof. The Sponsor may, at its sole discretion and from time to time, waive all or a portion of the Sponsor’s Fee for stated periods of time,” the filing stated.

Consequently, this action has prompted speculations that the Ethereum ETF market will experience its own “fee wars” among applicants. Nate Geraci, President of the ETF Store, said Grayscale’s ETH mini-trust fee would be the “most interesting fee to watch.” Geraci’s view is unsurprising, considering the investment firm’s Bitcoin fund experienced significant outflows due to its high fees compared to competitors.
“Are they going for jugular or no? Either way, it’s clear spot ETH ETFs will price in same neighborhood as spot BTC ETFs,” Geraci added.
While community attention appears fixated on the impending fee wars, other ETH ETF applicants have updated their filings with the SEC. The most notable change occurred with the 21Shares application, which removed all mention of Ark Invest. The ETF has been renamed from the “Ark 21Shares Ethereum ETF” to the “21Shares Core Ethereum ETF.”
In response to this change, Ark Invest reportedly stated that it believes in Ethereum’s potential and is seeking efficient ways to provide its investors with access to the asset.

“ARK believes in its transformative potential and the long-term value of the Ethereum blockchain but, at this time, ARK will not be moving forward with an Ethereum ETF. We will continue evaluating efficient ways to provide our investors with exposure to this innovative technology in a way that unlocks its full benefits,” ARK declared.

Solana (SOL) Price Risks Dip Below $110 as Bears Gain Control

Solana (SOL) has dropped over 6% in the past seven days and has been trading below $150 since March 6. The current trend shows clear bearish signals across multiple indicators.
From a death cross to a rising ADX and a red Ichimoku Cloud, technicals suggest growing downside pressure. With SOL nearing key support, the next few days could be critical for its price direction.
SOL Ichimoku Cloud Paints A Bearish Picture
The Ichimoku Cloud chart for Solana shows a clear bearish structure, with price action trading below both the Kijun-sen (red line) and Tenkan-sen (blue line).
The Lagging Span (green line) is also positioned below the price candles and the cloud, reinforcing the negative outlook. The Kumo ahead is red and descending, suggesting that resistance remains strong in the near term.

Solana has struggled to break above short-term resistance levels and remains stuck in a downward channel. The thin nature of the current cloud suggests weak support, making the price vulnerable to further downside if bearish momentum continues.
For a reversal, Solana would need to break above the Kijun-sen and push decisively toward the cloud, but for now, the trend remains tilted to the downside.
Solana DMI Shows Sellers Are In Control
Solana’s DMI chart shows a sharp rise in the ADX, now at 40.87—up from 19.74 just three days ago.
The ADX (Average Directional Index) measures the strength of a trend, with values above 25 indicating a strong trend and values above 40 signaling a very strong one.
This surge confirms that the current downtrend in SOL is gaining momentum.

At the same time, the +DI has dropped from 17.32 to 8.82, while the -DI has climbed to 31.09, where it has held steady for the past two days.
This setup suggests that the sellers are firmly in control, and the downtrend is strong and also strengthening.
As long as the -DI remains dominant and ADX stays elevated, SOL is likely to remain under pressure in the short term.
Can Solana Drop Below $110 Soon?
Solana recently formed a death cross, a bearish signal where short-term moving averages cross below long-term ones.
It’s now approaching key support at $120—if that level breaks, Solana price could drop to $112, and possibly below $110 for the first time since February 2024.

If bulls step in and buying pressure returns, SOL could rebound toward resistance at $136.
A breakout above that level may lead to a push toward $147, which acted as strong resistance just five days ago.

Top 3 Made in USA Coins to Watch This Week

Made in USA coins are showing mixed signals as April begins, with XRP, SUI, and Pi Network (PI) standing out. XRP leads in market cap but also posted the biggest drop among the top 10, down 10.6% this week.
SUI is the only major gainer, up 3.8%, showing some strength despite broader weakness. Meanwhile, PI has been the worst performer, plunging over 23% and staying below $1 all week.
XRP
XRP is the largest Made in USA crypto by market cap, but it’s also down 10.6% over the last 7 days—the biggest drop among the top 10. This sharp correction could present an opportunity, especially with Trump’s “Liberation Day” event coming up on April 2.
If XRP builds an uptrend, it could push to test resistance at $2.22. A breakout there may lead to moves toward $2.47 and even $2.59 if momentum grows.

If the downtrend continues, XRP could revisit support at $2.06. A breakdown below that level might drag it further down to $1.90.
With volatility rising and a possible narrative shift on the horizon, XRP could be a key coin to watch this week.
SUI
SUI is the only among major Made in USA cryptos showing gains over the past week, up 3.8%, even though it’s still down 13% over the last 30 days. This resilience sets it apart from the rest of the pack.
In the last 24 hours, trading volume has dropped 15% to $767 million. The coin’s current market cap is $7.43 billion.

SUI’s EMA lines recently formed a death cross, hinting at a possible downtrend. If confirmed, the price could drop to $2.23, with further downside to $2.11 and $1.96.
If SUI manages to reverse the trend, it could climb toward $2.50. A breakout there would open the door to $2.83, nearly 20% higher from current levels.
Pi Network (PI)
Pi Network (PI) is the biggest loser among Made in USA cryptos this week, with its price down over 23% in the last seven days.
It has been trading below $1 throughout the entire week.

If sentiment shifts, PI could rebound toward resistance at $1.05. A breakout there might lead to a push-up to $1.23.
But if bearish pressure continues, PI could fall to test support at $0.718. A drop below that would send it to $0.62—its lowest level since February 21.

On April 16, 161.7 million PRCL tokens, worth roughly $15.56 million, will be unlocked. This could increase the token supply and lead to short-term market volatility.

Its price is down roughly 46% in the last 30 days, with its market cap at $55 million, down from its peak of $265 in October 2024.
All 40 million tokens are allocated for airdrops.
