Grayscale launched its Ethereum Staking Mini ETF (ticker ETH) on July 23, 2024, with management fees of just 0.15%. The fund held approximately 839,556 Ether as of early August 2026, with 80.8% already staked. Gross staking rewards stood at roughly 2.78%, yielding a net 2.61% after fees. A July 2026 amendment filing provides for the conversion of staking rewards to cash for quarterly distribution to shareholders, in compliance with IRS guidelines treating such rewards as ordinary income. Grayscale previously proved the viability of this framework by distributing $9.4 million in staking rewards via ETHE in January 2026.
