BlackRock Files for Staked Ethereum ETF with SEC - ETH Staking Integration

Global asset management giant BlackRock has officially submitted an application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a staked Ethereum ETF. This landmark filing represents the first major step toward creating an exchange-traded fund that would incorporate ETH staking rewards, potentially offering investors both price exposure to Ethereum and additional yield through proof-of-stake validation. The proposed ETF would track Ethereum's price while automatically staking a portion of the fund's assets to generate passive income for shareholders. This development signals institutional growing confidence in Ethereum's transition to proof-of-stake and could open new avenues for traditional investors to participate in crypto staking markets through regulated financial products.
