Ethereum ETF: Bitwise Proposes Staking Feature

NYSE Proposes Staking Rewards for Ethereum ETF

• The NYSE has proposed amendments to allow staking rewards on an Ethereum-based ETF.
• The proposal aims to list and trade shares of the Bitwise Ethereum ETF with staking capabilities.
• Bitwise filed this proposal under the 19b-4 rule change with the U.S. SEC.
• The SEC will review how staking proceeds are set up, custody arrangements, and distribution plans.
• If approved, this would be the first U.S. ETF connected with staking, expanding investment options.

The NYSE’s proposal to incorporate staking rewards into an Ethereum-based ETF is under SEC review. If approved, it would mark a significant advancement in cryptocurrency financial instruments by allowing investors to earn staking rewards without directly owning crypto assets.
