ETHGas Launches Ethereum Blockspace Futures Market with Substantial Backing
On December 19, 2025, ETHGas announced the launch of Ethereum's blockspace futures market with commitments totaling $800 million from key Ethereum builders. Alongside this launch, ETHGas secured a $12 million seed round led by Polychain Capital. This new market allows the trading, acquisition, and hedging of computation and storage on Ethereum's blockchain, thereby addressing processing constraints and gas price volatility.
ETHGas is positioned as settlement infrastructure, facilitating the trade of Ethereum's blockspace. The company aims to mitigate risks for wholesale participants, enhance staking yields, and reduce gas price volatility, aligning with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's vision for a gas futures market.
Led by Kevin Lepsoe, formerly of Morgan Stanley, ETHGas's team includes professionals from Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, HKEx, and Lockheed Martin. The venture received financial backing from stakeholders including Stake Capital and Amber Group.
