Grayscale Avalanche Staking ETF, sponsored by Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, entered into Amendment No. 2 to its Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement with CSC Delaware Trust Company. The changes establish a mandatory framework for distributing net cash proceeds of staking rewards to shareholders.
The Trust must reduce the Staking Consideration it holds to cash no less often than quarterly and promptly distribute the cash proceeds, after deducting the Staking Fee and other Trust expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, to shareholders. It currently intends to make these net cash distributions on a monthly, but no less than quarterly, basis, with actual amounts depending on staking rewards. The Trust also plans to file a prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) to update related disclosure, and shareholders are advised to discuss any tax consequences with their tax advisors.
Grayscale Avalanche Staking ETF reports that its sponsor plans to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Trust Agreement on or around August 7, 2026. The change would require the trust to convert staking rewards (“Staking Consideration”) to cash no less often than quarterly and distribute net proceeds, after expenses and sponsor compensation, to shareholders.
The sponsor states the amendment is not materially adverse and is intended to align the structure with IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-31 so the vehicle can continue to be treated as a grantor trust while engaging in staking. Distribution amounts will vary with actual staking rewards and cannot be predicted.
Extensive accompanying tax disclosure highlights substantial uncertainty in U.S. federal, state and non‑U.S. tax treatment of digital assets and staking. The materials note that shareholders may incur current taxable income from staking rewards, forks or airdrops without matching cash, and that adverse IRS or foreign‑tax positions could increase taxes, trigger withholding (often at 30%) or, if the trust were taxed as a corporation at 21%, materially reduce after‑tax returns and pressure share value.
Grayscale Avalanche Staking ETF, through its sponsor Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, is making several leadership changes in its finance function. Effective July 2, 2026, Kathryn Masci and Daniel Plourde are appointed interim Co-Chief Financial Officers of the sponsor.
Masci is also joining the sponsor’s Board of Managers and will serve as the ETF’s Principal Financial and Accounting Officer. They succeed Edward McGee, who is stepping down on the same date for personal reasons, with the company stating his departure is not due to any disagreement with its operations, policies or practices.
Grayscale Avalanche Staking ETF outlines a new liquidity tool called Delayed Delivery Orders to help manage periods when its underlying digital assets are hard to access or transfer. Beginning on June 10, 2026, the sponsor, acting as Liquidity Engager, may arrange redemptions where digital assets are delivered to a Liquidity Provider on a delayed basis once specific staked assets become transferable.
Under these orders, the Variable Fee paid by Authorized Participants is adjusted to reflect the estimated wait for digital asset delivery, but no further fee changes occur if the actual delivery date differs. Delayed Delivery Orders are designed to supplement the Trust’s “Liquidity Sleeve” of unstaked assets and can be used only after an unforeseen adverse liquidity event, once the Liquidity Sleeve is exhausted, and until it is replenished. The filing notes that not all Liquidity Providers support this feature and that availability and effectiveness of these arrangements are not assured.
