ETHB is BlackRock’s third cryptocurrency ETF and also the company's first product to incorporate staking mechanisms into the ETF structure. Specifically, ETHB will directly hold spot Ether and stake a portion of it. In other words, investors can participate directly in the price movements of Ether and also enjoy rewards from staking. In fact, BlackRock had hinted as early as 2025 that it was interested in entering the "staking-based cryptocurrency ETF" blue ocean. According to the latest S-1 registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), to pave the way for ETHB’s listing, BlackRock quietly accumulated Ether in the market as early as February this year. In terms of operations, under normal market conditions, ETHB will stake 70% to 95% of its Ether holdings and keep the remaining 5% to 30% to meet the fund’s subscription, redemption, and daily liquidity needs. As for the most concerned profit distribution mechanism among investors, approximately 82% of staking rewards will be paid monthly to ETF holders; the remaining 18% will be distributed to the issuer and the executing agent.
