Updated: Jan 06 2026- First Cash Distribution: Grayscale has paid its investors in the Ethereum Staking ETF a cash dividend of $0.083178 per share, reflecting the income generated from Ethereum staked between October and December, marking a significant shift as Ethereum staking becomes part of traditional investment products.
- Significant Earnings: CEO Peter Mintzberg announced that the Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF and Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF have generated $7.9 million in staking rewards, the highest returns in their category, which enhances investor confidence in the fund's performance.
- Market Recovery: The recent payout coincides with fresh inflows into Ethereum ETFs in the U.S., with total assets nearing $19 billion, indicating a rebound in investor confidence following recent market volatility, as some investors seized the price drop to increase their Ethereum holdings.
- Future Plans: Grayscale intends to launch more crypto investment products while emphasizing that staking involves liquidity rules and security limits, advising investors to understand staking mechanisms before investing, which will support the company's growth in the regulated crypto ETF space.
