Grayscale Launches First U.S. Spot Ethereum ETFs With Staking

Grayscale Investments announced on Monday the rollout of the first U.S.-listed crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that allow staking as part of their investment offerings. The company introduced two new funds: the Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHE) and the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (ETH), which are designed to provide exposure to the Ethereum cryptocurrency and enable investors to earn additional rewards through staking.

In its statement, Grayscale confirmed that staking—a process where holders lock their cryptocurrency to support blockchain operations and receive rewards—has also launched for its Grayscale Solana Trust (GSOL). The firm noted that pending regulatory approval, GSOL is set to become one of the first spot Solana-based exchange-traded products (ETPs) in the U.S. to offer staking.

According to Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg, the move to enable staking on Ethereum and Solana funds demonstrates the company’s goal to offer innovative investment options. “The firm’s latest staking rollout for Ethereum and Solana funds shows its focus on staying ahead of the market,” Mintzberg said.

The regulatory review for GSOL’s transition to a fully tradable ETP with staking functionality is currently underway. If approved, the trust could become a leading option for U.S. investors seeking both direct crypto exposure and participation in the staking process, which is a key mechanism in many modern blockchain networks.
