Grayscale announces that its ETHE and mini ETH ETFs now support staking functionality

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 features. Grayscale also disclosed that the Grayscale Solana Trust (OTC ticker: GSOL) has launched staking capabilities, providing investors with one of the exclusive channels to participate in SOL staking through traditional brokerage accounts.

Once GSOL is approved for upgrade to an ETF, it is expected to become one of the first spot Solana ETPs to support staking features. It is important to note that ETHE and ETH are ETFs that are not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and therefore do not receive the same regulatory protections as registered ETFs and mutual funds. Investing in ETHE and ETH carries significant risks, including the potential loss of principal. Although both hold digital assets, investing in these products does not equate to directly holding digital assets. GSOL is currently not an ETP and is only quoted in the over-the-counter market.
