The IRS safe harbor from November 2025 unlocked staking inside U.S. spot ether ETFs, and Fidelity's filing now puts the $898M FETH in line to join Grayscale and 21Shares as yield-bearing funds.
The key uncertainty is whether CME aggregates ETHK’s positions with Volatility Shares’ existing ETHU fund, which already holds 19,204 Ether futures contracts.

BTC claws back above $66K on ETF inflows while a rate-hike scare, oil shock, and a stalled CLARITY Act reveal which narratives still have fuel.
CLARITY Act momentum collides with an August deadline it likely cannot meet, while ETF flows, RWA tokenization and macro shocks tug the tape in opposite directions.
Bitcoin sits near $66K with ETF inflows intact while $2.3B leaves stablecoins and the Fed's hiking odds climb to 62%. The liquidity picture is more split than the price.
Bitcoin's bounce off $57K looks like a soft-landing trade, but the real story is positioning: ETFs bled for ten days while whales added $16.7B.
A $1.1T equity rout, a $2.5B June ETF bleed, and a Bitcoin pinned under $63K say the same thing: the marginal dollar is leaving risk.
