The post Ethereum Staking in ETH ETFs Could Be Coming Soon, Say Van Eck appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The race for the ETF approval has been accelerating since the change in the US administration. Meanwhile, popular crypto trader Crypto Rover highlighted big news from financial giant VanEck, saying that Ethereum staking could soon be part of ETH ETFs.
If this happens, it would let regular investors earn rewards from Ethereum staking without doing it directly.
Vaneck We’ll See ETH Staking in ETFs
According to Vaneck, a major financial giant managing $116.3 billion in assets, Ethereum staking might soon be added to Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). This step could completely change how traditional investors take part in the ETH market.

If staking becomes part of ETH ETFs, it would make earning rewards with Ethereum much easier. People wouldn’t need to understand complex steps or lock up their tokens. Instead, they could simply invest through an ETF and start getting rewards.
Also, ETH ETFs are easy to buy and sell, so investors could trade their staked ETH whenever they want. This is much easier than regular staking, where your ETH is locked for a long time. Including staking in ETH ETFs also removes many risks and hard steps for new users.
Grayscale Pushes for ETH ETF Staking Approval
Although Grayscale is now asking the SEC to allow staking in its Ethereum ETFs. On April 21, Grayscale met with the SEC’s crypto team to request changes to its Ethereum ETF plans. These changes would let its funds join in Ethereum staking.
Grayscale said that, because of current rules, they’ve already missed out on $61 million in rewards. If the SEC agrees, Grayscale will be able to earn staking rewards directly, which could help give better returns to investors.
Solana ETF Approval Coming Soon
On top of that, VanEck isn’t stopping with Ethereum. The company’s CEO, Jan Van Eck, recently said, “We’re hoping for a Solana ETF approval.” In fact, Polymarket, a popular prediction platform, says there’s an 88% chance that the Solana ETF will be approved by the end of 2025.
This high chance shows how confident many in the market are, lining up perfectly with VanEck’s expectations.
