Why It Matters
Ethereum staking distributions are becoming competitive differentiators among ETF providers.
REX-Osprey launched the first 1940 Act registered ETF with staking in September 2025.
BlackRock filed for a staked Ethereum ETF in December 2025 planning to stake 70-90% of holdings, pending regulatory approval.
The trend allows traditional investors to earn staking yields without directly managing cryptocurrency wallets or validator infrastructure.
Staking introduces additional risks including lock-up periods, network disruptions, and validator penalties that could reduce returns.
