US EditionVanEck Registers Lido (LDO) Staked Ethereum (ETH) ETF Trust in Delaware, Eyes SEC Approval
VanEck’s Delaware filing aims to tap growing institutional demand for yield from liquid staking, with Lido controlling one-third of all staked Ethereum valued at $38 billion.
- On Oct. 2, VanEck registered the Lido Staked Ethereum Trust in Delaware as a statutory trust, signaling intent to create a staked ETH ETF.
- Delaware has long been the jurisdiction of choice for registering new funds, and recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission guidance eased rules on liquid staking, enabling filings through statutory trusts like those with CSC Delaware Trust Company.
- Trading metrics jumped, with 24-hour trading volume rising nearly 30% to $158.5 million, derivatives volume surging 45% to $426.9 million and open interest up 6.6% to $228.3 million.
- For institutional investors, the ETF would provide staking exposure without technical setup by offering exposure to ether staked through Lido, targeting demand ahead of BlackRock and Fidelity.
- Holding over 30% of staked ETH, Lido is the dominant liquid staker with $38 billion locked; this registration is an early step toward staking ETFs amid SEC risks and competition.
