Grayscale is set to stake over 40,000 Ether as it anticipates a favorable ruling from U.S. regulators regarding staking within exchange-traded products. This transfer, tracked by Arkham Intelligence, suggests Grayscale is positioning itself for staking rewards, potentially becoming the first U.S. Ethereum ETF sponsor to do so. The company manages more than 1.06 million ETH, valued at over $4.8 billion, and has filed proposals for staking that are still under SEC review. Analysts believe that allowing staking in U.S. spot Ether ETFs could lead to a surge in institutional demand, as investors would be able to earn rewards from their holdings. This move follows the SEC's recent clarification that staking may not fall under its jurisdiction, hinting at possible regulatory changes that could promote the inclusion of staking in such products.
