The U.S. #SEC has pushed back the time to decide on a proposed rule change to enable staking within Grayscale's $ETH spot ETF products.
According to a notice released on April 14, 2025, the SEC has designated a longer period to take action on NYSE Arca’s proposal to amend the rules governing the Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF and Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF.
The SEC’s decision comes after Grayscale filed 19b-4 for the Hedera ETF with the US SEC. The original 45-day review period would have concluded on April 17, 2025, but the SEC has now extended this deadline to June 1, 2025.
In its notice, the Commission stated it “finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised therein.” The notice also mentioned that the SEC has received no public comments on the proposed rule change to date.
