The Ether Machine is positioned as a public vehicle for exposure to Ether and ETH-denominated yield through seeking returns from staking, restaking and decentralized finance (DeFi).
It is backed by around $645 million worth of ETH from Andrew Keys, a former executive at Ethereum infrastructure builder Consensys, who will serve as chairman of Ether Machine.
The company also has over $800 million in financing from a range of high-profile backers, such as 1RoundTablepartners, Pantera Capital, Kraken and Blockchain.com.
The listing couldn't come at a much better time for ether bulls, as the world's second-largest cryptocurrency climbed as much as 25% last week to break above $3,800 for the first time in 2025.
