Exclusive: How Cboe’s Fidelity Ethereum ETF Staking Proposal Could Spark a Crypto Revolution 🎉🚀

by

Dear me, it seems the Chicago Board Options Exchange, a most dashing fellow, has submitted a proposal to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a rather stern chap if you ask me, to allow staking for the Fidelity Ethereum Fund. 

Oh, what a splendid idea! This initiative seeks to enable the fund to stake its Ethereum (ETH) holdings, possibly enriching investors’ returns. Staking, you see, involves dedicating one’s crypto holdings to support the blockchain network’s operations, much like how one might dedicate oneself to a gin and tonic at the end of a long day. 

In Ethereum’s proof-of-stake system, validators are chosen based on the number of tokens they stake, which helps secure the network and process transactions. Participants receive rewards, often in the form of additional tokens, for their contribution. It’s quite like being rewarded for your efforts at bridge night, wouldn’t you say? 

Ethereum’s price seemed to take a fancy to the news, with a slight uptick to $1,960. Quite the boost, I must say! 

If the SEC, that old stick-in-the-mud, approves the proposal, the Fidelity Ethereum Fund would join the ranks of the first ETFs in the U.S. to incorporate staking. This could provide investors with a means to earn staking rewards without having to manage the technical aspects themselves. How convenient, wouldn’t you agree? 

Bitcoin Suisse, always one step ahead, anticipated this development and forecasted that Ethereum-staking ETFs could outshine Bitcoin ETFs. They even went so far as to suggest that financial behemoths would launch institutional rollups on Ethereum. Quite the prediction, indeed! 

Bitcoin Suisse further prophesied that the crypto bull market would persist in 2025, with Bitcoin (BTC) soaring to a new all-time high above $180,000. Now, that’s a number that would make any accountant blush!
