BlackRock's Staked Ethereum Trust ETHB Begins Trading With 0.12% Fee And Staking Exposure

BlackRock has launched its staked Ethereum Trust, ETHB, which has now begun trading and offers regulated exposure to ETH combined with staking rewards. The fund, positioned as a yield-generating ETH product, charges a 0.12% management fee on the first $2.5 billion in assets and can be accessed through standard brokerage accounts. This new vehicle follows the rapid growth of BlackRock's IBIT Bitcoin ETF and iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), potentially opening an additional institutional inflow channel into the Ethereum ecosystem.
