James Seyffart, Bloomberg ETF analyst, revealed that staking ETFs for Solana and Ethereum are potentially launching sooner than anticipated. This unique regulatory path lies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the ‘40 Act), a framework governing mutual funds and similar vehicles, which differs from traditional spot crypto ETFs needing additional SEC filings. These staking ETFs circumvent the need for this process by leveraging pre-approved fund structures, potentially leading to faster approval. The launch date remains unconfirmed but Seyffart suggests they could debut within the coming weeks if successful. If approved, these products would be a significant milestone in providing access to regulated staking-based crypto yields for U.S. investors. This is driven by both institutional and retail investor demand for yield generation opportunities within the crypto space.
