SEC Faces Decision on Ethereum Spot ETF Staking Amendment Amid BlackRock’s Proposal

On July 20, DL News highlighted a critical challenge faced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the Ethereum spot ETF staking amendment. The SEC must decide whether to approve staking applications collectively or individually, a decision that could set a precedent for future crypto ETF approvals. This issue gained prominence after BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust Fund submitted a proposal to incorporate staking features, sparking renewed debate about the SEC’s batch approval process.

Previously, major financial institutions such as Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, 21Shares, and Fidelity had filed similar staking requests months earlier. However, BlackRock’s later submission carries a final approval deadline of April 2026, prompting speculation about the SEC’s timeline. Market analysts now anticipate a potential ruling as early as Q4 2024, which could consolidate decisions for all applicants, mirroring the SEC’s approach to spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs last year.
