That would give investors a straightforward way to compare what each fund actually delivers.<\/p>\n<p>In July 17 SEC filings for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1725210\/000172521026000010\/ethe-20260717.htm\">Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1896677\/000189667726000011\/gsol-20260717.htm\">Grayscale Solana Staking ETF<\/a>, the asset manager said it intends to amend both trust agreements. If executed, each trust would convert the ETH or SOL received as staking rewards into cash at least quarterly, and promptly distribute the proceeds after expenses not covered by the sponsor.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/grayscale-enables-staking-in-its-ethereum-etfs-how-will-this-impact-market\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Grayscale enables staking in its Ethereum ETFs &#8211; how will this impact market?<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>That requirement sets a minimum, not a fixed payment date or return. Grayscale could distribute more frequently, with each payout depending on the staking rewards actually received during the period. The filings say those amounts cannot be predicted with certainty, so the regularity applies to the process rather than the outcome.<\/p>\n<h2>From one payout to a comparable cadence<\/h2>\n<p>The proposed structure would make recurring a cash-distribution mechanism ETHE used earlier this year. On Jan. 6, the fund paid about $0.083 per share, or $9.39 million in total, from staking rewards earned between Oct. 6 and Dec. 31, 2025, and sold for cash, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/eth-etfs-just-paid-a-dividend-grayscales-9-4m-staking-test\/\">CryptoSlate's January coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/blackrock-may-have-just-made-ethereum-income-impossible-to-ignore\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">BlackRock's new product just made Ethereum income impossible to ignore<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>That January distribution showed staking rewards converted into cash for shareholders. Adding GSOL and a minimum schedule would create a like-for-like basis for comparing actual net cash payouts, disclosed expense drag and timing across Ethereum and Solana, rather than judging the structure from a single ETHE event.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/morgan-stanley-ethereum-solana-etf-fees\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Morgan Stanley\u2019s proposed 0.14% ETH and SOL fees could turn the next crypto ETF race into a price fight<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The design also reflects the IRS framework for staking inside qualifying grantor trusts. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/irb\/2025-48_IRB\">Revenue Procedure 2025-31<\/a> allows a compliant trust to distribute net staking rewards consistently either in kind or after a cash sale no less frequently than quarterly. Grayscale's proposed agreements specifically choose cash, requiring the trusts to sell the native-asset rewards before passing the net proceeds to shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>Cash distribution does not defer all tax consequences until payment. Assuming grantor-trust treatment, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1725210\/000172521026000010\/ethe-ex99_1.htm\">ETHE<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1896677\/000189667726000011\/gsol-ex99_1.htm\">GSOL<\/a> disclosures say U.S. holders would recognize their pro rata share of staking rewards as taxable income when the trust receives them, regardless of when cash is later distributed. Selling ETH or SOL to fund the payout can also produce a pro rata capital gain or loss.<\/p>\n<p>The investor gain is comparability: a recurring cash record across two assets. The remaining tradeoffs are the variable rewards, expenses, conversion and holder-specific tax consequences behind each payment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proposed trust
