Grayscale has paid out its first staking rewards to investors in its Ethereum Staking ETF. The rewards came from Ethereum that was staked between early October and the end of December.

Instead of paying investors in crypto, Grayscale converted the staking income into cash and distributed 0.083178 per share. Investors who held shares as of January 5 received the payment, which was sent out on January 6. Grayscale said the payment shows how much income the fund earned from staking Ethereum during that period.

This move shows that Ethereum staking is now part of traditional investment products, not just crypto platforms. In late 2025, Grayscale added staking to its Ethereum ETF to help investors earn extra returns from the Ethereum network.

This allowed investors to benefit from staking without needing to run validators or manage technical risks. The fund was also renamed to reflect its new staking features, showing Grayscale’s growing role in regulated crypto ETFs.

Ethereum ETFs See Fresh Inflows

The payout comes as Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. are seeing fresh inflows. This suggests investor confidence is improving after recent market volatility. According to SoSoValue data, weekly net inflows have turned positive again, and total assets held by Ethereum ETFs are now close to $19 billion.

Grayscale said it plans to launch more crypto investment products in the future. The firm also noted that staking involves liquidity rules and security limits, meaning investors should understand how staking works before investing.

The new inflows follow a period when crypto markets saw heavy selling and price declines. As prices fell, many investors pulled money out of ETFs. The recent recovery suggests that some investors used the price drop as a chance to buy more Ethereum through ETFs.
