VanEck Launches First Staked Ethereum ETF in the United States

New York, NY – November 15, 2025 – VanEck today announced the launch of the VanEck Ethereum ETF with Staking (ticker: ETHV), the first spot Ethereum exchange-traded fund in the United States to offer on-chain staking rewards to investors.

The new ETF builds on VanEck's existing spot Ethereum ETF (launched earlier in 2024) by integrating direct staking participation through institutional-grade custodians, allowing ETF shareholders to earn native Ethereum staking yields (currently estimated 3.2–4.8% annualized) while maintaining full regulatory compliance and daily liquidity on major U.S. exchanges.

Key Features of ETHV

  • Physically-backed spot Ethereum exposure with institutional cold storage
  • Automatic staking of underlying ETH via trusted node operators
  • Staking rewards accrued daily and reflected in NAV (net of fees)
  • Expense ratio: 0.20% (competitive with existing spot ETH ETFs)
  • Trading on NYSE Arca starting November 18, 2025

Statement from VanEck Leadership

"This is a landmark moment for Ethereum investors in traditional finance. By bringing staking rewards directly into a regulated ETF structure, we are unlocking the full utility of Ethereum for millions of retail and institutional investors who previously could not participate in staking due to technical or regulatory barriers."

– Pranav Kanade, Head of Digital Assets, VanEck

VanEck expects ETHV to appeal strongly to long-term holders seeking yield enhancement while maintaining the simplicity and security of traditional ETF investing.

Availability & Next Steps

ETHV will begin trading on November 18, 2025. Investors can purchase shares through any brokerage that supports NYSE Arca-listed securities. For full prospectus and staking details, visit: vaneck.com/ethv.
