Ethereum ETFs Update
Dear Crypto Reader, are you interested in the latest developments regarding Ethereum ETFs? Well, Fidelity Investments has recently updated its Ether ETF proposal, removing staking features. This move comes in light of the SEC’s request for ETF issuers to review their 19b-4 documents. Let’s dive into the details below!
Fidelity’s Removal of Staking Features
– Fidelity revised its ETF proposal for Ethereum, eliminating references to using ether for staking
– The initial proposal included staking features, but Fidelity decided to remove them
– Gabor Gurbacs from Vaneck suggested that other issuers may follow suit
“Fidelity has updated its S-1 registration statement for the Ethereum ETF, removing the ‘staking rewards’ from the document. Others will do the same. Why? Locked coins are a hindrance to liquid funds. It’s not about ‘rewards’, but about yield. Voting makes the underlying a security.”
– There is speculation that the SEC may classify Ethereum as a cryptographic security
– Some users believe that ETFs could hold excessive voting power on the ETH network if not properly regulated
– Overall, the removal of staking features has created buzz around Ethereum ETFs without such elements
