🗓️ Aug 12 2026 20:06 UTC - Iyiola Adrian
Fidelity has asked the SEC to allow its Ethereum ETF to stake ETH, potentially letting FETH earn staking rewards for investors.
➤ Fidelity has requested SEC approval to enable its Ethereum ETF (FETH) to stake ETH, aiming to generate staking rewards for investors.
➤ The proposal outlines that 85% of staking rewards would go to the fund, with 15% covering fees for Fidelity and service providers, potentially leading to quarterly cash distributions to shareholders.
➤ The plan faces regulatory hurdles, as the SEC must approve the amendment, and there are inherent risks associated with staking, such as potential unavailability of staked ETH for redemptions and slashing penalties.
