After Spot Bitcoin ETFs, Is a Staked Ether ETF Next? VanEck Bets Yes

The race for the next major crypto ETF is on. Fresh off the success of spot Bitcoin funds, VanEck has placed the first bid for a staked Ether ETF.

The filing positions the firm at the forefront of what could be the next wave of crypto investment products, directly tying traditional finance to the yields generated in the decentralized world of Ethereum staking.

While the SEC is still reviewing dozens of other crypto ETF proposals, VanEck’s move indicates that institutional players are ready to push further into the ecosystem.
