BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has taken a significant step towards entering the staked ether ETF market by registering the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust in Delaware. This move signals the company’s intent to seek approval for a yield-bearing ether product, as reported by CoinDesk<\/strong> and dlnews<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The registration of the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust is a preliminary step and not yet a formal application under the Securities Act of 1933. However, it indicates that BlackRock is preparing to join the race to launch a staked ether ETF, following in the footsteps of VanEck, which has also registered a similar trust tied to Lido’s staked ETH, as The Defiant<\/strong> notes.<\/p>\n BlackRock’s ETHA is the largest Ethereum ETF, with over $13 billion in assets under management. The company’s move to register a staked Ethereum trust suggests that it is looking to expand its crypto offerings and provide investors with a yield-bearing product. As Unchained<\/strong> points out, this could be a significant development in the Ethereum staking market, which has seen steady growth, with around 35.7 million ETH locked in the network, worth $108 billion.<\/p>\n The SEC has said that some crypto staking products aren’t securities, which could pave the way for BlackRock and other issuers to launch staked Ethereum ETFs. However, as Yahoo Finance<\/strong> notes, BlackRock still needs to submit a Form S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission before the fund can move forward.<\/p>\n The registration of the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust is a significant development in the Ethereum ETF market and could have far-reaching implications for investors and the broader crypto industry. As CoinDesk<\/strong> and other sources suggest, this move could signal the start of a new era in Ethereum investing, with staked ether ETFs potentially offering investors a new way to earn yield from their ether holdings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction to BlackRock’s Staked Ethereum Trust BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2122,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[243,31,956,32,957],"class_list":["post-2123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-blackrock","tag-crypto-etfs","tag-crypto-investing","tag-ethereum","tag-staked-ether"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casi.live\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}What Does This Mean for Ethereum and the ETF Market?<\/h3>\n
