BlackRock Seeks to Add Staking to iShares Ethereum ETF - Unchained
BlackRock is seeking to add staking functionality to its iShares Ethereum ETF (ETHA), which would allow the world’s largest asset manager to participate directly in the ether staking market.
In a 19b-4 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), BlackRock filed to stake a portion of the fund’s ether (ETH), using a designated third-party to execute staking operations. The ETF would collect staking rewards and distribute yield to investors as additional income.
BlackRock’s approach ensures investors do not partake in technical staking or slashing risks directly, nor will the fund pool its assets with ether held by other entities.

Earlier this year, the SEC said staking rewards would be treated as earned income, not capital gains, making such ETF structures increasingly feasible for traditional finance players.
On Thursday, ETHA had a record day of $546.7 million in inflows, and currently manages over $8.4 billion in assets.
“BlackRock and other ETH ETF providers are entering the staking game – even 75% of BlackRock’s ~$16B adds ~$12B – a ~10% boost to Ethereum’s security,” wrote 21Shares researcher Matt Mena on X.
