Grayscale Bets on Staking as Key Differentiator, Expands Feature to Ethereum ETFs and Solana Trust

Grayscale has activated staking for its entire suite of smart contract platform funds. The announcement covers its pioneering spot Ethereum ETFs—the first US-listed crypto ETPs to offer staking—and its Solana Trust (GSOL).

This positions Grayscale at the forefront of integrating core blockchain functionalities into traditional investment vehicles. By staking a portion of fund assets, Grayscale aims to provide investors with dual benefits: price exposure and network rewards.

CEO Peter Mintzberg framed the move as a core part of Grayscale’s innovation strategy, leveraging its platform to create tangible value for investors as the landscape for crypto ETPs evolves.
