US EditionGrayscale Adds Staking to Ethereum and Solana Investment Products in U.S. First
Grayscale’s new ETFs enable staking for Ethereum and Solana, offering investors passive network security participation through institutional custodians and validator providers.
- On October 6, 2025, Grayscale Investments announced that its Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF and Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF became the first U.S.-listed spot crypto ETPs to enable staking while activating staking for Grayscale Solana Trust .

- Operationally, Grayscale will stake passively via institutional custodians and validator providers, enabling investors to earn staking rewards on ETH and SOL while ETHE, ETH, and GSOL hold $4.82 billion, $3.31 billion, and $122.5 million respectively.

- With roughly $35 billion in AUM, Grayscale plans to extend staking to more products while industry analysts say its staking-enabled offerings could attract fresh institutional capital and serve as a blueprint.
