BlackRock’s Ethereum staking ETF draws $15.5M on debut
The world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, has launched a new cryptocurrency investment product — the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust (ETHB). The fund began trading on the Nasdaq exchange and drew strong investor interest on its first day.
According to exchange data, about 593,000 shares were traded on the first day, with total turnover reaching roughly $15.5 million. For a newly launched crypto ETF, this is considered a solid start. Institutional interest in blockchain-based investment products has been growing noticeably in recent months.
BlackRock’s first staking ETF
ETHB is the first crypto product from BlackRock that incorporates a staking mechanism. According to the company, about 80% of the fund’s assets are allocated to staked Ethereum, while the remaining 20% are held in liquid ETH.
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart described the launch as a strong debut.
“Very very solid for a day 1 ETF launch,” Seyffart said.
ETHB expands BlackRock’s crypto product lineup, which already includes the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) and iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA). At launch, ETHB held approximately $106.7 million in assets, with Coinbase acting as the custodian.
Staking rewards will be distributed to investors on a monthly basis. Validators supporting the Ethereum network for the product include Figment, Galaxy Digital, and Attestant, a company owned by Bitwise.
The standard sponsor fee is 0.25%, though early investors benefit from a temporary reduction. For the first year, the fee is lowered to 0.12% for the first $2.5 billion in assets under management.
Institutional demand for crypto funds
The launch of ETHB comes amid continued inflows into cryptocurrency ETFs in the United States. According to SoSoValue data, Bitcoin ETFs recorded inflows of $53.8 million, marking the fourth consecutive day of positive flows.
Funds focused on Ethereum also attracted capital, with total inflows reaching around $72.4 million. Additionally, approximately $4 million flowed into ETFs linked to Solana.
The emergence of staking-enabled ETFs may represent the next stage in the development of the institutional crypto market. These products allow investors to generate additional yield by participating in blockchain network validation while maintaining the familiar structure of regulated investment funds.
Earlier, BlackRock warned investors about the risks of a “set-and-forget” investment strategy. The firm noted that the rapid development of artificial intelligence and rising geopolitical tensions are already reshaping global markets and require more active portfolio management.
