The Cboe BZX Exchange has submitted a request to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to enable staking for the 21Shares Core Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF)<\/a>, according to a Feb. 12 filing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If approved, the ETF would stake its Ethereum (ETH<\/a>) holdings, allowing investors to earn staking rewards.<\/p>\n

Regulatory hurdles<\/h2>\n

Staking is integral to Ethereum's proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, where participants lock up ETH to validate network transactions and earn rewards.<\/p>\n

In 2024, the SEC approved several Ethereum ETFs but explicitly prohibited staking<\/a>. The regulator cited concerns that staking could violate federal securities laws, aligning with its broader stance that staking services<\/a> resemble unregistered securities offerings.<\/p>\n

This position had led to enforcement actions against Coinbase and Kraken, both accused of operating unlawful staking programs.<\/p>\n

To mitigate regulatory concerns, Cboe proposes using “point-and-click staking.” Unlike traditional staking models where ETH is transferred to third parties, this approach allows the ETF to stake its holdings without moving the assets from its custody wallet.<\/p>\n

This setup reduces the risk of theft, although it does not eliminate potential slashing penalties\u2014a process where staked ETH is partially or fully forfeited due to network rule violations.<\/p>\n

The firm also explained that excluding staking from the 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF is akin to an equity exchange-traded product (ETP) declining dividends from its underlying assets.<\/p>\n

It asserts that staking ETH would enhance investor returns,<\/a> improve the ETF's ability to track Ethereum's performance and optimize the fund's creation and redemption process.<\/p>\n

Will it be approved?<\/h2>\n

This filing marks the first time a US-listed crypto ETF has requested staking privileges. If approved, it could set a precedent for other funds looking to integrate staking rewards into their offerings.<\/p>\n

Optimism has grown following recent leadership changes at the SEC, which some view as more open to crypto-related financial products. Commissioner Hester Peirce<\/a>, a known advocate for crypto innovation, has previously suggested that staking in Ethereum ETFs remains a topic open for discussion.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart<\/a> predicts<\/a> that if the SEC acknowledges the filing, the final approval or rejection deadline will fall around October.<\/p>\n

If successful, this move could reshape the landscape for Ethereum-based investment products and create new opportunities for investors seeking exposure to staking rewards within a regulated ETF structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
