Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF Now Pays Staking Rewards in Cash

Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF (NYSE Arca: ETHE) has updated its agreement to pay staking rewards in cash to shareholders. On August 6, 2026, Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC and CSC Delaware Trust Company signed a Fourth Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement for the Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF.

The revised agreement sets a framework for regular cash distributions of staking rewards to shareholders. The trust must convert staking consideration into cash no less often than quarterly and promptly distribute net proceeds after deducting the staking fee and other expenses.

Currently, the Trust intends to make these distributions on a monthly basis but will at least do so quarterly. Shareholders are advised to consult tax advisors regarding any potential tax consequences of the new agreement.
