Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF SEC Filings

Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (ETH) proposes three amendments to permit the Sponsor to stake trust-held Ether, to collect a Sponsor's Staking Fee, and to amend the Trust Agreement with notice rather than shareholder consent in certain cases. Staking may be allowed only if the Staking Condition is met (a tax opinion or Tax Ruling or Tax Guidance confirming grantor-trust status). If staking occurs, the Trust may stake all Ether subject to enumerated exceptions and may accept non-Ether staking consideration temporarily. The Sponsor may set a daily-accruing Sponsor's Staking Fee (payable in Ether or staking consideration) and may disclose the percentage in SEC filings; the fee will not exceed total staking rewards. The Sponsor would also be able to make certain material amendments effective 20 days after notice instead of requiring prior shareholder consent, and the Trust may use incidental rights or staking consideration to pay fees and expenses.

Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (ETH) proposes three related amendments to its Trust Agreement to permit the Trust to stake Ether, create a Sponsor's Staking Fee, and broaden the Sponsor's unilateral amendment authority (subject to limited notice constraints and tax-condition safeguards). Proposal 1 would allow the Sponsor to cause the Trust to stake a portion of its Ether through arm's-length arrangements with the Custodian and Staking Providers and to accept and temporarily hold staking consideration other than Ether. Proposal 2 would allow the Sponsor to collect a Sponsor's Staking Fee, payable in Ether or other staking consideration, calculated as a per-annum percentage of staking consideration earned and disclosed by the Sponsor. Proposal 3 would let the Sponsor make certain restatements, amendments or supplements to the Trust Agreement without shareholder consent, with materially adverse changes becoming effective no earlier than 20 days after notice; some amendments that could affect grantor trust status require a tax opinion or Tax Ruling. The documents repeatedly note potential risks, tax-condition limits on staking, and Sponsor discretion over fee levels and certain determinations.
