🚀 The momentum behind the Ethereum ETF
The SEC's recent stance on staking issues has sparked interest in incorporating this functionality into Ethereum ETFs. Since May, the Commission has made it clear that staking activities are not considered a securities offering, opening a key regulatory pathway (cointelegraph.com, ccn.com).
Firms like Grayscale (proposal for ETF with staking), BlackRock (ETHA), Fidelity, and Bitwise have driven a wave of submissions and revisions to their applications, preparing for this new direction (barrons.com).
📈 Clear signals in the market
There has been sustained inflow to Ethereum ETFs over the last 7 weeks, accumulating amounts exceeding USD 4.9 billion.
The amount of ETH deposited in staking amounts to nearly 34.8 million (~28% of the total supply) thanks to expectations of a product with integrated staking (phemex.com).
The price of Ethereum has reacted, rising by up to 28%, surpassing the barrier of USD 2,800 driven by regulatory optimism (ainvest.com).
💡 What implications for investors?
Benefit
Detail
Additional returns
ETFs with staking would allow passive income without directly managing the staking.
Higher institutional demand
They provide a regulated and convenient avenue for institutions seeking exposure to ETH beyond price appreciation.
Reduction of circulating supply
With more ETH locked, supply pressure could elevate price in the long term.
With the SEC giving the green light to the concept of staking as non-securities, it is expected that managers will accelerate their applications and that ─approximately by the end of this month─ decisive moves will begin to emerge on this front (barrons.com, servers.com, tradingview.com).
🔍 What to expect next?
Imminent decision from Grayscale: The SEC could rule on its staking proposal before June (servers.com).
New applications: Other issuers could submit similar proposals in the short term taking advantage of the precedent.
Potential impact: If these ETFs are approved with staking, we could see record inflows into ETH and a new bullish cycle.
📢 Conclusion
The SEC's regulatory progress, along with the participation of Grayscale, BlackRock, and others, places Ethereum in a privileged position within institutional products. An ETF with staking would not only increase institutional adoption but also reinforce the narrative of Ethereum as a yield-bearing asset and store of value. The "yield-bearing Ethereum" could be just around the corner.
