The current TRX staking yield sits around 4.6% APR, per StakingRewards.<\/p>\n<p>The ETF would track the CoinDesk TRX USD CCIX 60-minute New York Rate. The Pricing Benchmark aggregates notional TRX spot trades across major venues and is updated every 15 seconds. Using this index, net asset value will be calculated daily at 4 P.M. ET.<\/p>\n<p>Shares will be created and redeemed in 10,000-share baskets for cash only, with BitGo as custodian. All staking activity will be performed at the trust level, keeping authorized participants isolated from direct TRX exposure or staking delegation rights.<\/p>\n<h2>Arguments for accepting the ETF<\/h2>\n<p>Importantly, Cboe argues that the proposed product does not require a surveillance-sharing agreement with a \u201cregulated market of significant size,\u201d the threshold first introduced in the SEC\u2019s 2018 Winklevoss disapproval order.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it cites recent SEC approvals of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum products, where futures market size was deemed insufficient but \u201cother means\u201d to detect and deter manipulation were accepted. Cboe asserts similar justification applies here, referencing TRX\u2019s decentralized market structure, deep liquidity, around-the-clock global trading, and high degree of arbitrage activity.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal details how TRX\u2019s continuous trading, lack of centralized pricing, and absence of corporate data disclosures reduce susceptibility to manipulation. It highlights that any attempt to influence price on a single venue would require broader global market distortion, countered by arbitrage mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>The trust\u2019s cold storage of assets, dissemination of intraday indicative value every 15 seconds, and publicly available NAV data further support Cboe\u2019s claim that investor protections are sufficiently met.<\/p>\n<p>SEC approval would mark the first time a US-listed crypto ETF includes a native staking component. While Ethereum-based funds approved in 2024 excluded staking to sidestep regulatory ambiguity, the TRX filing tests whether delegated proof-of-stake tokens can coexist with public fund structures. Filings for other funds to stake assets have been <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/sec-delays-decisions-on-staking-and-in-kind-redemptions-for-crypto-etfs-to-early-june\/\">delayed until June<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the filing does not disclose a ticker or specific staking provider but confirms that all rewards will flow back into the trust. The trust also declines to claim any rights to forked or airdropped assets.<\/p>\n<p>Cboe\u2019s request aligns with broader efforts by ETF sponsors to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/defiance-introduces-etfs-with-simultaneous-long-short-positions-on-bitcoin-ethereum-and-gold\/\">differentiate crypto products beyond basic price exposure<\/a>. With management fees on Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs trending toward zero, staking income presents a mechanism to offset costs and attract capital seeking yield in a low-interest-rate environment.<\/p>\n<p>If approved, the Canary Staked TRX ETF could set a precedent for staking-enabled ETPs across other delegated PoS networks, such as Solana, Polkadot, and Cosmos.<\/p>\n<p>The SEC has yet to issue a timeline for its decision on the proposed rule change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cboe BZX Exchange has filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission to list and trade shares of the Canary Staked TRX ETF under Rule 14.11(e)(4), marking the first attempt to register a US-based spot Tron ETF fund offering staking rewards.
