Today, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register shares of Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: ETHE) under the Securities Act of 1933. This is another important step toward uplisting ETHE as an ETF*. We’re proud to be working to bring the 2nd largest crypto asset by market cap even further into the U.S. regulatory perimeter.

ETHE is not registered under the 1940 Act and is not subject to regulation under the 1940 Act, unlike most mutual funds or ETFs.

This is yet another example of the US falling behind other countries. While the SEC lags in ETF approvals, VanEck is able to excel in Europe and offer staking from its ETN product. The contrast couldn't be clearer. 🇪🇺 In Europe: → VanEck launches Solana ETN with staking rewards → Daily reinvestment of staking returns → Innovation-friendly regulatory environment → $74M product already trading on Euronext Amsterdam 🇺🇸 Meanwhile in the US: → Still awaiting basic Solana ETF approval → Staking rewards are not permitted in ETF products → Innovation stifled by regulatory uncertainty The US continues to fall behind other jurisdictions in crypto innovation. We shouldn't just be keeping pace—we should be setting the standard for thoughtful regulation that embraces innovation while protecting investors. Hopefully, with a new administration in place, progress will be made. #CryptoRegulation #SolanaETF #CryptoPolicy
