BlackRock has made significant strides by filing for a new staking ETF, which could enhance its already successful spot funds. This move comes after previous efforts to integrate staking into its existing products faced delays from the SEC.
With over $11 billion in assets under management for ETHA, BlackRock continues to dominate the market despite competitors like Grayscale entering the space with similar offerings. (Source)
