Cboe BZX files landmark SEC request to enable staking for 21Shares' Ethereum ETF
February 13, 2025--In a recent filling submitted as a Form 19b-4, Cboe BZX has requested SEC approval for the Ethereum held within the fund to be staked. This is first time an ETF in the U.S. has proposed staking. If approved, this would allow investors to earn rewards by staking their ether, which is something not currently possible in Ethereum ETFs.
Staking involves locking up ETH to help secure the Ethereum network while earning passive income in the process. Staking could open up new opportunities for investors to earn extra returns compared to just holding ETH ETFs. Cboe BZX plans to use a "point-and-click" method for staking, meaning the ETH won't be moved, lowering the risk of theft during the staking process.

Trump effect tests resolve of traditional ETF investors
February 13, 2025-The temptation to move beyond traditional buy-and-hold vehicles is likely to increase, industry observers say
The exchange traded fund industry blasted through previous records last year, racking up $1.5tn in inflows, 95 per cent of which went into equity and fixed-income funds, but 2025 could look very different, industry observers say.
With threats of tariffs and potential trade wars, and rapid changes to the geopolitical situation, nerves are being stretched tight and the appeal of moving beyond traditional buy-and-hold portfolio building blocks is likely to grow, industry figures say, even if that appeal is misguided.
