Grayscale Ethereum Staking Mini ETF to amend trust agreement to add staking distributions
The sponsor, Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, intends to enter a Third Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement on or around August 7, 2026. The amendment would require the trust to convert staking consideration to cash at least quarterly and distribute the net proceeds to shareholders, though the amount of each distribution depends on staking rewards actually received and cannot be predicted with certainty. The sponsor says the change is intended to conform to IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-31, and it is giving shareholders 20 days' prior notice.
Key points
- Proposed amendment is expected to take effect on or around August 7, 2026.
- Trust would convert staking consideration to cash no less often than quarterly and distribute net cash proceeds to shareholders.
- Sponsor gave 20 days' prior notice to shareholders; the filing says distribution amounts cannot be predicted with certainty.
- Trust intends to file a Rule 424(b)(3) prospectus supplement upon execution, and filed tax and risk factor supplements as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
