Grayscale’s share 9-for-1 split

In early December, the company announced an upcoming ETHE share split for those who would become its investors by December 14. The event was announced to take place on December 18.

The share split implied that every investor would get additional eight ETHE shares for holding 1 ETHE. However, this seemed rather a marketing ploy as the overall worth of shares would remain the same and one share would simply get split into eight.

Before the share split on ETHE was worth roughly 0.09 ETH. After the split, the price of one share would be approximately 0.01 ETH.
