BlackRock launched its iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB) on the Nasdaq, marking its first yield-bearing crypto ETF and third overall crypto offering. ETHB provides spot Ether exposure and generates income through staking a portion of its holdings, with a 0.25% sponsor fee temporarily reduced to 0.12% for the first $2.5 billion in assets. Coinbase Prime will handle ETH custody and staking services. The launch follows SEC approval for staking within Ethereum ETFs and builds on the success of BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) and existing Ethereum ETF (ETHA), which collectively manage over $61.5 billion. Initial trading volume reached $15.5 million, considered solid, though trailing similar Solana staking ETFs. Analysts anticipate some fund flow from ETHA to ETHB, particularly from investors seeking staking rewards, with 82% of staking rewards distributed to investors monthly. The ETF aims to attract both crypto-native investors and those new to the asset class, offering institutional-grade custody and a passive income stream.
