Two leading institutions have announced successive Ethereum ETF staking reward distribution plans. 21Shares will distribute staking rewards to holders of its Ethereum ETF, with a unit yield of $0.010378 per share, and the distribution date is set for January 9, 2026. Grayscale has also launched a similar plan, distributing Ethereum staking rewards to ETHE holders, with a per-share yield of $0.083178. This move reflects increasing competition among institutional-grade products in the Ethereum staking field, attracting more capital inflows through reward distributions. For investors, this means that holding an Ethereum ETF not only allows participation in price fluctuations but also provides stable on-chain staking income. This innovative product design further promotes traditional capital's interest in crypto assets.

The returns from grayscale are a bit more predictable now; 0.083 is almost 8 times that of 21shares.

Grayscale's returns are really impressive, directly surpassing 21Shares. --- Wait, the distribution will be until January next year? Can this wave of market conditions last until then? --- By the way, these institutional moves are just trying to lock retail investors' coins and create FOMO through returns. --- Finally, I can legitimately earn staking rewards, I always felt something was off before. --- The individual stock returns are pretty good, but a bit expensive. Who would actually buy an ETF just for this small amount of money? --- Now traditional finance is really starting to pay attention to on-chain yields, interesting. --- Why do I feel like Grayscale is up to something again? With such high returns, there might be a trap. --- Both institutions are involved, indicating that Ethereum staking really has some potential.

Grayscale's recent gains are directly under 8x pressure, and 21Shares has no competitiveness at all.

actually... grayscale's 0.083178 per share is kinda wild but like, what are the *actual* trust assumptions here? they're just claiming this is "staking yield" but where's the cryptographic proof of reserve validation? idk feels like we're all just... trusting institutions again lol
