Vesting is a traditional concept, but in the crypto industry, it has a major effect on the price of the crypto asset.
Growing Long-Term Value
Crypto vesting is an integral part of tokenomics and has its roots in traditional finance. A good and balanced crypto vesting schedule manages price fluctuations and the overall integrity of the project.

A portion of the project’s token supply subject to the ‘lockup period’ will be put aside over a specific period before distribution. A durational lock is called a ‘cliff’. The process of holding, locking, and releasing a project’s token from an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is termed crypto vesting.

Two groups of stakeholders will be the eventual recipients of the distribution after the lockup period. First are the early-stage investors that purchased the project’s token during the seed or private funding rounds. Secondly, members of the project team and its partners as incentives for their loyalty and contribution to the project. These stakeholders are subject to a crypto vesting schedule.
How Vesting Schedule Works:
A well-managed crypto startup usually sets aside approximately 20%-25% of its token supply for its management team. These tokens that were kept aside will be released in set intervals during the length of the vesting schedule. The tokens released during the vesting period are called ‘vested tokens.’
These intervals can be spread evenly to reduce selling pressure during the length of the vesting schedule. However, early-stage investors might be reluctant to invest in a crypto startup if the vesting schedule is too lengthy.
Correlation Between Distribution and Token Price
It is important for any investor to be aware of any downside risk when vested tokens are released. Early investors would have purchased the vested tokens for a fraction of the current price and would likely sell the tokens as part of risk management.
Therefore, any market participant needs to understand the difference between ‘total supply’ and ‘circulating supply.’

Investors should avoid huge unlocking schedules because heavy selling pressure will dampen positive price action. A good crypto vesting schedule is important for the project to grow and attract new investors and contributors. This has to be balanced against the interest of early investors and contributors who believed in the project and stood by it from its inception.

Ether Futures ETFs Hit the Market: ProShares, VanEck, and More Offer Options

Summary
- A range of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) targeting the performance of ether futures have been launched.

In a significant development for the crypto industry, a range of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) targeting the performance of ether futures have been launched. These offerings mark the first-ever ETFs based on ether futures, coming almost two years after the introduction of the first bitcoin futures ETF.
Renowned for launching the first U.S. bitcoin futures ETF, ProShares leads the charge with the launch of the ProShares Ether Strategy ETF, along with two additional offerings that provide a blend of exposure to both bitcoin and ether. ProShares’ CEO, Michael L. Sapir, expressed optimism about the appeal of these crypto-linked ETFs to investors, stating, "We think that many investors who are interested in cryptocurrencies but are concerned about custody risks, or who are challenged by the learning curve and complexities required to buy them directly, will be attracted to our crypto-linked ETFs."
Bitwise also joined the fray with two ether futures ETFs: the Bitwise Ethereum Strategy ETF and the Bitwise Bitcoin and Ether Equal Weight Strategy ETF.
VanEck, a prominent asset manager, has also entered the arena with the VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF. This ETF is designed to target capital appreciation by investing in ether futures contracts, providing investors with an alternative path to participate in the robust futures market centered around Ethereum.
Additionally, the VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF has also entered the market, “designed to seek capital appreciation” through ether futures contracts. As highlighted by Kyle DaCruz, Director of Digital Asset Product at VanEck, these offerings provide a means for investors to tap into the robust futures market surrounding Ethereum.
