Rewards

<p>Grayscale has initiated its first distribution of Ethereum staking rewards to shareholders of its Ethereum Staking ETF, marking a significant development in the institutional integration of staking-based returns. Shareholders recorded as of January 5 will receive a per-share cash payout of 0.083178, with payments scheduled for January 6. The rewards cover staking activity from early October through the end of December.</p><p>The payout marks a turning point for staking, which has traditionally been confined to native crypto platforms. Grayscale’s move converts on-chain Ethereum staking yields into regulated cash payments, aligning with investor expectations in conventional exchange-traded fund structures. The ETF’s feature expansion in late 2025 allowed Grayscale to incorporate staking mechanisms, reflecting its effort to deepen investor engagement with Ethereum’s network economics.</p><h2 id="ethereum-etf-inflows-resume-following-market-volatility">Ethereum ETF Inflows Resume Following Market Volatility</h2><p>The staking reward release coincides with renewed inflows into U.S.-based Ethereum ETFs. Data from SoSoValue shows net weekly inflows have turned positive, indicating recovering investor sentiment. The total net assets under management across Ethereum ETFs have rebounded to nearly $19 billion. This comes after a period of significant outflows, during which crypto markets experienced sharp price corrections.</p><p>Despite recent market stress, institutional buyers continue to accumulate Ethereum.

The firm also signaled its intention to expand Ethereum-related offerings further.
