Grayscale announces that ETHE and Mini ETH ETF now support staking

ChainCatcher news, Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF (ticker: ETHE) and Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (ticker: ETH) have become the first spot crypto asset ETFs in the United States to support staking functionality. Grayscale also disclosed that the Grayscale Solana Trust (OTC ticker: GSOL) has launched staking functionality, providing investors with one of the exclusive channels to participate in SOL staking through traditional brokerage accounts.

Once GSOL is approved to be upgraded to an ETF, it is expected to become one of the first spot Solana ETPs to support staking functionality. It should be noted that ETHE and ETH are ETFs not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and therefore are not subject to the same regulatory protections as ETFs and mutual funds registered under that Act. Investing in ETHE and ETH carries significant risks and may result in loss of principal. Although both hold digital assets, investing in these products is not equivalent to directly holding digital assets. GSOL is currently not an ETP and is only quoted on the over-the-counter market.
