Asset manager VanEck has filed for a staked ether ETF, the first of its kind in the United States. The proposed fund would track Lido’s stETH token, offering a simple way for investors to gain staking exposure.
The bold filing capitalizes on a friendlier regulatory environment at the SEC, which recently stated that staking does not constitute a securities transaction.
Approval would mark a major milestone for the integration of liquid staking into mainstream finance.
