BlackRock filed an amended S-1 application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Feb. 17 for its proposed iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB), which would support staking. Under the proposal, 70-95% of the ETF's assets would be staked through third-party institutions such as Coinbase, allowing holders to receive staking rewards. The annual fee is set at 0.25%, with a promotional rate of 0.12% applied for the first year on assets up to $2.5 billion.
