<p>Wall Street giant Fidelity has updated its spot Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to include staking.</p>
<p>In the <a href="https://cdn.cboe.com/resources/regulation/rule_filings/pending/2023/SR-CboeBZX-2023-095-Amendment-No-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">updated filing</a>, Fidelity says if the SEC approves the ETF it would occasionally “stake a portion of the fund’s assets through one or more trusted staking providers.”</p>

<p>The money manager did not mention any staking provider in the filing, but Lido DAO is currently the largest ETH staking provider, with others including RocketPool and StakeWise.</p>
<p>Lido DAO (DAO) jumped after the news, but has since plunged 14% to trade at $2.26 at 05:09 EST.</p>
<h2 id="analysts-see-huge-potential-for-ethereum-etfs">Analysts See Huge Potential for Ethereum ETFs</h2>
<p>Analysts believe that spot Ethereum ETFs have huge potential, and arguably more than Bitcoin ETFs.</p>
<p>The head of crypto research at Standard Chartered Bank, Geoffrey Kendrick, sees inflows of $15-$25 billion into ETH ETFs within the first 12 months after approval.</p>
<p>VanEck portfolio manager Pravan Kanade <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/vaneck-says-ethereum-etf-market-has-bigger-potential-than-bitcoin-etfs-because-of-eth-staking-rewards" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">says</a> an Ethereum ETF makes more sense than Bitcoin ETFs because investors can earn from staking and gas fees distributed to token holders.</p>
<p>Standard Chartered’s Kendrick is also optimistic that the SEC will approve Ethereum ETFs on May 23, but earlier this month US Senators <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/us-senators-urge-sec-chair-gary-gensler-to-halt-crypto-etf-approvals-over-enormous-risks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">urged</a> the SEC not to launch more crypto ETFs.</p>
