What to know:
- BlackRock has filed the paperwork for the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF in Delaware-finally, a step toward the wild world of staked ether ETFs.
- The registration is just a warm-up, not yet a full-fledged application under the Securities Act of 1933, so don’t start popping champagne just yet.
- Following VanEck’s bold move, these titans of finance are waiting on the U.S. regulators to green-light the inclusion of staking in ETFs. Fingers crossed, right?
Well, well, well-look who’s decided to join the party. BlackRock, the money machine that practically prints cash, has entered the staked ether ETF race. On Nov. 19, they threw their hat into the ring by registering the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF in Delaware. Just a little paperwork, but hey, it’s a start.
Now, don’t get too excited. This is just the first step. It’s like setting the table before you’ve even decided what to cook. This isn’t yet a formal application under the Securities Act of 1933-so don’t expect a dinner party anytime soon. But it’s clear that BlackRock is gearing up to push for approval to get a yield-bearing ether product on the menu.
BlackRock’s move comes on the heels of VanEck, who registered their own similar trust tied to Lido’s staked ETH. Apparently, everyone’s holding their breath for the moment when the SEC finally drops the hammer and tells issuers whether staking can be part of U.S. ETFs. Oh, the suspense!
Let’s not forget that the first wave of spot ETH ETFs, which launched back in 2024, did so without staking. The SEC, in all their wisdom, told issuers to ditch the staking feature, claiming that some staking services might be unregistered securities offerings. What a surprise! Never a dull moment in the world of ETFs, huh?
