Nasdaq applies to include staking in BlackRock's Ethereum ETF as SEC weighs broader industry requests

  • Nasdaq filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 16 to add staking to BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) exchange-traded fund (ETF). The rule change would add a detailed “staking” section permitting BlackRock to stake Ethereum (ETH) directly or through one or more trusted staking providers.
