Grayscale to distribute first Ethereum staking rewards to ETHE investors
Grayscale Investments has announced its first-ever staking rewards distribution for the Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF (ETHE), scheduled for January 6, 2026.
Grayscale Investments’ recent decision to distribute staking rewards marks a significant milestone for U.S. crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs). The move, led by CEO Peter Mintzberg, reflects the company’s strategic efforts to integrate new digital asset capabilities into ETP structures.
According to the announcement, the staking rewards period covers October 6 to December 31, 2025, and includes the distribution of $9.4 million in staking income to ETHE shareholders. Each share will receive $0.083178 in staking rewards.
Payouts scheduled for January 6
The record date for eligible shareholders is January 5, 2026, with payments scheduled for the following day, January 6, 2026.
“The distribution of staking rewards to ETHE shareholders is a landmark moment not only for Grayscale, but for the entire Ethereum and ETP ecosystem. As the first U.S.-based Ethereum ETP to pass staking rewards directly to investors, we reaffirm Grayscale’s role as an early leader in bringing new digital asset capabilities into the ETP wrapper,” said Peter Mintzberg, CEO of Grayscale.
According to Coincu, Grayscale’s distribution model could encourage broader integration of staking rewards across other ETP offerings. Regulators may closely monitor this precedent, potentially influencing wider adoption of staking within institutional investment products.
