According to market news, the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust (ETHB) under BlackRock reached an asset management scale of $254 million one week after its listing, with a cumulative inflow of $146 million since its launch on March 12, and initial seed funding exceeding $100 million.The fund stakes 70-95% of its held Ethereum, distributing 82% of the staking rewards to investors each month, while the remaining 18% is allocated by the trust, custodians, and staking service providers. The sponsorship fee for ETHB is 0.25%, with a first-year discount to 0.12% for the first $2.5 billion in assets. Its validators include Figment, Galaxy Blockchain Infrastructure, and Attestant.

According to official news, BlackRock's first ETF offering staking rewards, the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB), has been listed for trading on Nasdaq, with Figment selected to provide validation node infrastructure for ETHB, supporting transaction validation and Ethereum network security.Industry insiders point out that the launch of ETHB benefits from regulatory clarity driven by long-term policy initiatives, allowing Ethereum staking to be participated in by a broader range of investors. The amount staked has reached a historic high, enhancing not only network security and risk resistance but also providing a solid foundation for on-chain economic activities and development.

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.

According to Cointelegraph, BlackRock's head of digital assets, Robert Mitchnick, stated that although some asset management institutions in the market are attempting more "complex" cryptocurrency ETF structures, BlackRock will not make such products a core strategy but will continue to adopt a relatively cautious product layout.Mitchnick pointed out in the CNBC Crypto World program that more innovative or "heterogeneous" ETF structures may emerge in the future market, some of which may be welcomed by investors. However, BlackRock will maintain strict screening when expanding its product line, prioritizing market maturity, liquidity scale, and practical application scenarios.Meanwhile, BlackRock launched the Ethereum ETF supporting staking yields on Thursday—iShares Staked Ethereum Trust (ETHB). Data shows that the product's trading volume exceeded $15.5 million on its first day of listing, attracting approximately $43.5 million in inflows. This ETF allows investors to gain additional returns through the staking mechanism while capturing potential price appreciation of Ether.
