A major milestone just hit the U.S. crypto market: the first American ETP to actually start paying out staking rewards directly to holders. We're talking about $ETHE, Grayscale's Ethereum staking product—and this is genuinely a big deal.

Why? Because it means institutional investors and regular people can now earn staking rewards without having to deal with the complexity of running validators themselves or locking coins in some third-party platform. The rewards just flow into your account automatically.

This kind of product innovation matters because it bridges traditional finance and crypto finance in a way that feels familiar to ETF investors but delivers actual Web3 economics. No more choosing between participation and simplicity. You get both.
