On August 7, 2026, the Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) signed custodial agreements with Anchorage Digital Bank NA and BitGo Bank & Trust, N.A., and amended its sponsor and trust agreements to allow staking of the fund's ether. The sponsor expects staking to start as soon as practicable after the registration statement takes effect, with the trust keeping 85% of staking rewards.
