Staking Ethereum within exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could attract more investments and reduce management fees, according to former crypto analyst Tom Wan. Currently, US-based Ethereum ETFs do not include staking due to regulatory concerns, but implementing staking could make these ETFs more competitive with Bitcoin ETFs. Wan suggested that staking could add between 550,000 and 1.3 million ETH to the total staked supply, attracting more investors and contributing to the stability of the Ethereum network. ETF issuers with higher assets under management (AUM) are better positioned to offer staking rewards, but smaller firms could offer higher yields to attract investors. Implementing staking through ETFs could also improve liquidity by channeling more funds into staking pools and centralized exchanges. Overall, staking could help Ethereum ETFs realize their potential and become a viable option for investors.
