TechFlow news, according to CoinDesk, Ophelia Snyder, co-founder of digital asset management firm 21Shares, said institutional investors are unlikely to be concerned about U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs not offering staking rewards, despite retail investors' strong desire for this built-in feature. This divergence suggests providers could potentially list separate, distinct products to meet the needs of both groups. Staking assets impacts liquidity, and institutions will want to see a track record of fund managers effectively managing withdrawal delays, which requires inherent risk management.
In addition, tax implications from government authorities must also be considered, as it remains unclear how staking rewards would be taxed in the United States.
