Welcome to our dedicated page for Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF SEC filings (Ticker: ETHE), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF Shares (ETHE) correspond to interests in Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF, a trust that reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a commodity-based exchange-traded product listed on NYSE Arca. This page aggregates the trust’s SEC filings, which provide detailed information about its Ether holdings framework, staking capabilities, governance, and service-provider relationships.
Through forms such as Form 8-K and the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the trust discloses material agreements and events. Recent 8-K filings describe the Third Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement, shareholder approvals that authorize staking of Ether held by the trust, and the sponsor’s ability to receive a staking-related fee. They also outline the Prime Broker Agreement with Coinbase, Inc. and related entities, the Staking Addendum governing staking arrangements, and the Fund Administration and Accounting Agreement with BNY Mellon Asset Servicing.
Filings further explain how the trust uses the CoinDesk Ether Price Index (ETX) as its reference index, including periodic changes to the underlying digital asset trading platforms used to calculate the index price. Other disclosures cover the trust’s transition toward NYSE Arca’s generic listing standards under Rule 8.201-E (Generic), internal corporate reorganizations involving the sponsor, and distributions to shareholders funded by net staking consideration.
Stock Titan’s tools surface these filings as they appear on EDGAR and apply AI-powered summaries to help readers understand complex documents, such as amendments to the trust agreement, detailed descriptions of the staking arrangements, or supplemental risk factor disclosures. Users can quickly locate annual and quarterly reports, current reports on material events, and exhibits that define the trust’s operational and governance framework.
Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF reported a sharp first-quarter decline as lower Ether prices reduced the value of its holdings. Net assets fell to $1.78 billion at March 31, 2026 from $2.70 billion, and Principal Market NAV per share dropped to $17.05 from $24.38, a total return of -30.07% for the period.
The Trust held about 851,925 Ether at quarter-end, valued at $2,095.22 per Ether, down from $2,971.94. It earned $10.5 million in staking reward income after beginning staking in late 2025 and paid $14.4 million in cash distributions funded by selling Ether. Sponsor’s fees and staking fees totaled about $15.1 million, and net decrease in net assets from operations was $775.6 million, primarily driven by Ether price depreciation.
Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF outlined new liquidity tools for handling share redemptions when Ethereum liquidity is tight. Beginning on April 6, 2026, the sponsor may use “Delayed Delivery Orders,” where digital assets owed to a Liquidity Provider are delivered later, once specific staked assets become transferable.
Under these arrangements, the Variable Fee charged to an Authorized Participant is adjusted to reflect the estimated wait for digital asset delivery, with no later true-up if timing differs. Delayed Delivery Orders are meant to supplement the Trust’s unstaked asset reserve, or Liquidity Sleeve, and may be used only after an unforeseen adverse liquidity event, once the Liquidity Sleeve is exhausted, and only until it is replenished.
The Trust notes these liquidity policies are intended to align with NYSE Arca’s generic listing standards and Internal Revenue Service Procedure 2025-31, but it cautions there is no assurance such arrangements will always be available or sufficient to meet redemption requests.
Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF is changing how it values its Ether holdings and calculates net asset value. Effective April 1, 2026, the Trust will use the CoinDesk Ether Benchmark Rate instead of the CoinDesk Ether Price Index (ETX) to determine its Index Price, NAV and NAV per share.
The new benchmark uses trade data from selected digital asset trading platforms such as Binance, Kraken and OKX, applying volume-weighted pricing, outlier filters and inactivity adjustments. The filing also details a cascading backup process using a secondary Coin Metrics rate, the Trust’s principal market, and ultimately the Sponsor’s good faith estimate if benchmark data are unavailable or unreliable.
Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF is a Delaware statutory trust designed to give investors exchange-traded exposure to Ether. As of December 31, 2025, it held approximately 0.8% of Ether in circulation, with each Share representing about 0.0082 Ether and trading on NYSE Arca under the symbol ETHE.
The Trust issues and redeems Shares in 10,000-Share Baskets via Authorized Participants, currently only through cash orders, and values holdings using an index-based NAV alongside a U.S. GAAP “Principal Market NAV.” From July 23, 2024 to December 31, 2025, the Shares traded between a 1.64% premium and a 0.64% discount to NAV per Share.
In 2025 the Trust rebranded as Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF and began staking Ether on October 6, 2025 through third‑party providers, receiving Ether-denominated staking rewards of which 23% of gross consideration goes to the Sponsor, Custodian, and staking provider. As of June 30, 2025, non‑affiliate holdings were valued at $2.84 billion, and 104,058,500 Shares were outstanding as of February 20, 2026. The filing highlights extensive risks tied to Ether’s volatility, digital asset market structure, regulation, staking, and reliance on key service providers.
Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF disclosed two key updates. First, the trust’s name is being changed from “Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF” to “Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF” via a Delaware Certificate of Amendment and a related amendment to the Trust Agreement, both effective at 12:01 a.m. New York City time on January 5, 2026. Shares are expected to keep trading on NYSE Arca under the symbol ETHE, and existing stock certificates remain valid.
Second, the sponsor announced a cash distribution of $9,397,326, to be paid on January 6, 2026, to shareholders of record as of 4:00 p.m. New York City time on January 5, 2026. The distribution reflects net U.S. dollar proceeds from staking consideration earned between October 6 and December 31, 2025, after deducting specified fees and shares owed to the sponsor, custodian and staking provider, and was converted to cash through a liquidity provider by reference to an index price on January 2, 2026.
Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF reported that its sponsor, Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, plans to change the fund’s name to Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF, effective on or about January 5, 2026. The change will be reflected through an amendment to the existing Third Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement. Shares are expected to continue trading on NYSE Arca under the same ticker symbol, ETHE. Existing stock certificates remain valid and do not need to be exchanged, so the update functions as a rebranding rather than a change to how investors hold their shares.
Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF reported a change to the pricing benchmark it uses for ether. CoinDesk Indices, Inc., which maintains the CoinDesk Ether Price Index (ETX) that underlies the Trust, added Bitstamp by Robinhood as a new digital asset trading platform in the index, effective December 21, 2025.
After this change, the index now reflects prices from Coinbase, Kraken, Crypto.com, LMAX Digital, Gemini, and Bitstamp. The index provider retains the ability to add or remove trading venues and conducts scheduled quarterly reviews to adjust the list of platforms based on its criteria, including minimum liquidity.
Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF filed a current report to explain how it uses cashtags and third-party content on X (formerly Twitter). The sponsor, Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, notes that when it uses a ticker symbol with a “$” sign, X automatically turns that cashtag into a link that leads to pages with market data, news, and commentary created by outside parties.
The report emphasizes that Grayscale does not control, endorse, or take responsibility for any information shown on those X-generated pages or on any linked third-party sites. That material is not authorized or verified by Grayscale and may differ from its official disclosures. Investors are directed to rely on SEC filings for accurate, up-to-date information about Grayscale and its investment products.

Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF reported Q3 2025 results reflecting Ether price appreciation and active share flows.

The Trust held 1,063,337.97367740 Ether at quarter-end, valued at $4,161.61 per Ether on the principal market.
Operations were driven by digital asset moves: net realized and unrealized gains totaled $1,867,260 thousand, offset by a Sponsor’s Fee of $27,199 thousand (annual rate 2.5%). The Trust issued 11.7 million shares ($381,050 thousand) and redeemed 18.63 million shares ($632,847 thousand), ending with 129,218,500 shares outstanding on September 30, 2025. As context, shares outstanding were 124,148,500 as of October 31, 2025.
Subsequent to quarter-end, the Trust began staking its Ether on October 6, 2025, and the Sponsor completed an internal management reorganization, which is not expected to have a material impact on Trust operations.
