BlackRock has introduced the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust, trading under the ticker ETHB, according to Techub. The product holds spot Ether and stakes 70% to 95% of its holdings through institutional validators. It distributes about 82% of staking rewards to investors each month.
Techub said the structure follows a joint clarification issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in March 2026. That guidance stated that protocol staking for commodity-type assets does not trigger securities registration requirements, opening a path for regulated U.S. ETFs to include staking income.
The report, citing spaziocrypto.com, added that the model is spreading to networks including Solana and Cardano. The shift points to a new phase for crypto ETFs, moving beyond simple price tracking toward products that can generate native on-chain yield from the assets they hold.
