The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has requested that the US SEC allow staking services on the Grayscale #Ethereum ETFs. In a Friday filing, the market operator submitted a 19b-4 application to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requesting a rule change. The NYSE seeks to amend the provisions of the pre-approved Grayscale Ethereum ETFs to include staking services. Staking services involve locking up an underlying asset—in this case, Ethereum—to become a validator and contribute to the stability and security of a network. In return, the staked tokens yield passive rewards to participants. Grayscale ETFs Eyes Staking Services If approved, the rule change would provide additional rewards for holders of the Grayscale Ethereum Trust and the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust. Notably, the average staking reward for Ethereum ranges between 3% and 4% APY. The filing insists that the proposal does not contravene any existing securities law. The exchange noted that the intended staking model differs from delegated staking or staking as a service, which the US SEC currently classifies as a security. Notably, the securities regulator, under Gary Gensler, suggested that staking activities on the Ethereum network constitutes unregistered securities. Although the agency approved applications for an Ethereum spot ETF last year, it mandated issuers not to stake their Ether stash, citing federal securities law. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart suggested that the US SEC will decide on the proposed rule change by the fourth quarter of the year. 4Q 2025 potentially. Lotta moving parts with this one. — James Seyffart (@JSeyff) February 14, 2025

The U.S. SEC has recognized another #XRP ETF filing, bringing the product one step closer to approval. On Friday, the regulatory agency acknowledged the XRP ETF application from asset manager 21Shares. This comes just a day after it recognized Grayscale’s XRP ETF application. This development has sparked significant excitement within the XRP community, as many see it as a sign that approval is imminent. With the latest acknowledgment, the SEC still has three other Form 19b-4 XRP ETF applications to consider. Notably, Cboe BZX Exchange filed 19b-4 forms for the XRP ETFs of Bitwise, Canary, 21Shares, and WisdomTree seven days ago. Since the SEC has now acknowledged one of these filings, the crypto community may see similar recognition for the other three next week. What’s Next for XRP ETFs? Notably, the SEC’s acknowledgment of the XRP ETFs from Grayscale and 21Shares does not equate to automatic approval, nor does it guarantee that the SEC will approve them in the future. Nevertheless, this development is significant because it signals the SEC’s willingness to consider these products rather than outright rejecting them. Recall that in December, exchanges withdrew their Solana 19b-4 applications after the Gary Gensler-led SEC indicated it would not engage with them. Under the Mark Uyeda-led SEC, this new acknowledgment essentially gives the XRP ETFs a shot at approval. This opens the path for them to compete with existing Bitcoin and Ethereum products. Following the SEC’s acknowledgment, a 240-day window—roughly eight months—now begins. Specifically, the 240-day timeline for a decision on the Grayscale and 21Shares XRP ETFs will start once the filings are posted to the Federal Register, which is expected to happen in the next few days, according to FOX Business correspondent Eleanor Terrett. Essentially, the XRP community could be looking out for a decision on XRP ETFs in the last quarter of the year.

Pseudonymous #shiba⚡ Inu lead developer Shytoshi Kusama has highlighted the SHIB ecosystem’s aim to become a global powerhouse in the next five years. Speaking at the “Bill It Up” with Cypher Capital co-founder Bill Qian, Kusama stated that the Shiba Inu ecosystem is evolving rapidly. While commending the team and its strong community for the substantial progress so far, he insisted that the ecosystem has a larger adoption curve to pursue. Specifically, he told Qian that the team aims to make Shiba Inu a global powerhouse. He called on the enthusiasts and “normies” to align with this vision of changing the course of history by bringing Web3 to Web2 users. Kusama Says the Shiba Inu Ecosystem Is All-Rounded Unlike most meme coins, the lead developer argued that Shiba Inu has utility, a powerful brand, and a technology powerhouse to scale its global adoption. Furthermore, he insisted that its competitors are not meme coins but ecosystems like XRP and Solana. Kusama noted that Shiba Inu’s global scaling objective is evident with its latest partnership with the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI). The groundbreaking collaboration, which surprised the crypto community, will see Shiba Inu provide the country with Web3 energy, infrastructure, and governance solutions. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu is not done yet. The lead developer stated that the team’s goal is to see “powered by SHIB” everywhere, working with governments and other strategic partnerships to push the Shiba Inu technology to the global stage. #cryptonewstoday
