Analyst: BlackRock launches a staking Ethereum ETF independently to avoid increasing the risk of punitive impairment
DeFi researcher Ingas posted on the X platform that BlackRock's newly launched staking Ethereum exchange-traded fund ETHB attracted approximately $46 million in inflows within just two days of its listing. The fund holds spot ETH and stakes 70% - 95% of the ETH through Coinbase, allowing investors to receive about 82% of the staking rewards in cash each month, with no compounding operations within the fund. This design may attract "whale" investors who hope to live off the income, while the remaining 18% of the rewards go to BlackRock and Coinbase.
Ingas stated that BlackRock launched the staking Ethereum ETF separately, rather than adding the staking feature to the existing Ethereum exchange-traded fund ETHA, because staking increases the risk of punitive impairment, which some investors want to avoid.
