Good question - when you buy ETHE, you’re not staking yourself. Grayscale does it on the fund’s ETH, using institutional validators. The staking rewards get added back into the trust’s NAV, so your shares quietly earn yield on top of ETH price. It’s how on-chain yield is slipping into the ETF world.
When you buy ETHE, you’re not staking directly - the fund stakes its own ETH through institutional validators. The rewards flow back into the trust’s NAV, so your shares reflect both ETH price and earned yield. It’s the first time on-chain staking yield is being delivered through a regulated ETF wrapper.

Can you describe the mechanism for staking if someone buys ETHE? Thanks
