The research firm considers ETH an attractive investment opportunity, citing rising investor interest relative to Bitcoin.
United States Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may soon feature staking yield, according to a Dec. 2 report by Bernstein Research.
“We believe, under a new Trump 2.0 crypto-friendly [Securities and Exchange Commission], ETH staking yield will likely be approved,” Berstein said.
Staking involves locking up Ether (ETH) as collateral with a validator on the Ethereum blockchain network. Stakers earn ETH payouts from network fees and other rewards but risk “slashing” — or losing ETH collateral — if the validator misbehaves.
