Grayscale Plans Quarterly Cash Payouts From ETH, SOL Staking

Ethereum and Solana use proof-of-stake systems that reward holders for committing tokens to help validate transactions. Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF, or ETHE, and Grayscale Solana Staking ETF, or GSOL, package that potential yield into exchange-traded products, allowing traditional investors to gain exposure without holding tokens, operating crypto wallets or managing validator infrastructure. Returns remain variable and are reduced by applicable fees.

Grayscale filed documents with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on July 17, 2026, proposing trust-agreement amendments expected to take effect on or around Aug. 7. The revised terms would require ETHE and GSOL to convert staking rewards into cash at least quarterly and promptly distribute the net proceeds to shareholders after trust expenses and sponsor-related charges. Grayscale said the timing and amount of payouts will depend on rewards actually received and cannot be predicted with certainty.
