Crypto Task Force discusses staking in ETFs with Jito, Multicoin

The U.S. SEC reassessed its stance on crypto staking under former chair Gary Gensler, signaling willingly to include the feature in ETFs. Jito Labs and Multicoin Capital held talks with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Task Force regarding potentially including staking in exchange-traded products. Crypto staking involves depositing digital assets into a smart contract to secure blockchain networks. Stakers receive yield as a reward, incentivizing participation. Developers have also introduced liquid staking and liquid restaking protocols to attract more users. Under previous administrations and former SEC chair Gary Gensler, staking was effectively restricted and considered a violation of federal regulations. Firms like Kraken were forced to shut down staking services for U.S. customers, though the company has since relaunched the feature amid shifting regulatory policies.

The initiative acknowledged that some issuers originally included staking in Ethereum ( ETH ) ETF applications but were instructed to remove such language before their filings were considered.

Given the critical role of staking of blockchain networks, we believe staking would be a net benefit to these ETPs products and the overall crypto industry. Allowing staking of native cryptocurrencies would enhance the safety and security of the networks in which these assets operate, and would align investors with the unique features of these assets. SEC filing on meeting with Jito, Multichain Revisiting staking in ETFs could reignite a debate from 2024, when spot Ether ETFs were still under review. Analysts opined that Ethereum ETFs with staking may concentrate locked Ether supply in the hands of a few. Conversely, experts surmised that the products would drive Ether demand and investor appetite for staking protocols. Read more: Expert: Spot Ethereum ETF to drive Ether demand
