Underlying exposure
Asset, benchmark and whether the return is spot, staked or otherwise adjusted.
Comparison framework
There is no useful “best” ETN
without a reason.
The cheapest annual fee may come with a wider spread. A staked product may retain part of the reward. A familiar issuer may use a different custodian. Compare the complete route, not one number.
Legal structure
Issuer, programme, security-holder claim, collateral and insolvency wording.
Backing
Physical holdings, collateral level, creation/redemption process and verification.
Custody
Custodian, jurisdiction, cold-storage policy, concentration and operational controls.
Annual charge
The ongoing product fee and any separate staking or service deductions.
Trading cost
Typical spread, broker dealing charge, platform fee and currency conversion.
Tracking
Difference from the chosen reference after fees and product mechanics.
Liquidity
Market makers, trading volume, order-book depth and how you plan to exit.

A disciplined conclusion
Write one sentence explaining why the chosen structure fits the job better than direct ownership or doing nothing. Then list the three risks most likely to break that reasoning.
If the conclusion depends only on a price forecast, the product comparison has not done its job.
Editorial promise
A commercial relationship cannot buy a better score.
If Cryptonary later adds partner links, each commercial link will be labelled where it appears. Inclusion, evidence standards and conclusions remain editorial decisions.
