Grayscale Unlocks Staking for US Spot Ethereum ETFs in Industry First

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Grayscale is bringing crypto-native utility to traditional finance with the announcement that its spot Ethereum ETFs are the first in the US to enable staking. This allows investors to gain exposure to ETH price action while simultaneously earning staking yields.

The firm is also extending this functionality to its Solana Trust (GSOL), setting the stage for a potential spot Solana ETP with built-in staking rewards.

Grayscale will handle the technical process of staking passively through institutional partners, allowing investors to benefit from network rewards without managing keys or validators. “This is exactly the kind of first mover innovation Grayscale was built to deliver,” said CEO Peter Mintzberg.
