Staking attracts institutional investors. Approval of Bitcoin Cash ETF in January 2024 marked the beginning of the emergence of cryptocurrencies on Wall Street and mass adoption institutional investors . Since Ethereum Cash ETF also appeared on the US stock exchanges. But only recently thanks to the efforts Grayscale Investments was allowed to receive yield from staking for these financial products.
Key points of this article:
- Grayscale Investments recently integrated staking into its Ethereum ETFs, which was a significant move on Wall Street.
- Grayscale funds have already invested over one million ETH, showing enthusiasm for this new revenue opportunity.
Fund management company Grayscale Investments was one of the first to offer financial products based on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies . Last year, the company benefited from converting its funds to Bitcoin and Ethereum in ETFs (exchange-traded funds), which made it possible to expand the availability and liquidation of these products.
More recently, on October 6, 2025, Grayscale announced about addition staking for their exchange-traded funds Ethereum . Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF ( ETHE ) and Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF ( ETH ) were able to start staking ethers to profit from income received from this consensus Proof of Stake (PoS).
Grayscale Ethereum funds have already invested over 1 million ETH Grayscale has wasted no time since its ETHE and ETH ETFs were approved for staking of their ethers. Indeed, according to the manager, 66.99% of the 1,036,570 ethers owned by the Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF are already staked. This is approximately 694,398 ethers .
And on the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF side, 64.07% of the 729,146 ETH held were staked. This means that 467,164 ethers more staking
Overall, according to data taken from the official website of the crypto asset management company, the two Ethereum Cash ETFs offered by Grayscale theoretically have close to 1,161,562 ETH.
It is almost certain that the ETH ETFs offered by Grayscale will not be the only ones offering a very interesting profitability from rates Especially considering that aside from Ethereum other cryptocurrency ETFs that are currently blocked due to closures in the United States in particular Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA), should logically allow staking to be offered on Proof of Stake blockchain networks.
