The average price ETHV paid for the Ethereum it holds, set against Ethereum's price.
What ETHV paid, and Ethereum's price
The average price ETHV paid for the Ethereum it still holds, beside Ethereum's own price. The price line is worked out each day from the buy price and the Worth vs. paid figure, so it can sit a little off a price quoted elsewhere. Estimates. No fund publishes what it paid. This is worked out from the money going in and the price on the day it arrived, so treat it as close rather than exact.

Cost basis is the average price ETHV paid for the coins it holds. It works like your own average buy price: when Ethereum's price is above it, the fund is ahead on paper, and when it is below, it is behind.
The Worth vs. paid tab divides Ethereum's price by that average. Above 1.0 the coins are worth more than the fund paid for them, and below 1.0 they are worth less. It is the same comparison as the two lines on the Buy price tab, as one number.
Coins in profit counts the Ethereum the fund holds that are worth more today than they cost, as a share of all of them.
The price line on the Buy price tab is worked out from the two figures the chart already has, so it can sit a little off the price quoted elsewhere for the same day.
