The effectiveness clears the regulatory path for Franklin Ethereum Trust to price and list shares. Monitor for a pricing announcement and the trust's first day of trading on CBOE. The AMPLIFIER verdict suggests the combination of IPO and shelf context has historically been well-received — watch for initial demand and premium/discount to NAV in early trading.
