ETHE is the first U.S. fund to distribute staking rewards ETHE Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF Grayscale is excited to announce Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF (ETHE) will issue its first distribution tied to staking rewards today, January 5, 2026, making it the first U.S. Ethereum ETP to distribute staking rewards to shareholders. Shareholders of ETHE will receive $0.083178 per share held. The distribution reflects rewards earned between October 6, 2025, and December 31, 2025, marking an important step forward in how Ethereum's evolving value flows through to investors. For more information, read our press release. Three ways to access staking with Grayscale Grayscale currently offers three staking-enabled funds to investors: Prior to 2026, ETHE, ETH, and GSOL were known as Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF, Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF, and Grayscale Solana Trust ETF. They were renamed to better reflect their new staking capabilities. ETHE, ETH and GSOL are exchange traded products that are not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "40 Act") and therefore are not subject to the same regulations and protections as 40-Act ETFs and mutual funds. An investment in ETHE, ETH or GSOL is not suitable for all investors, involves significant risk, including possible principal loss, and is subject to heightened volatility. ETHE, ETH and GSOL hold digital assets; however, an investment in ETHE, ETH or GSOL is not a direct investment in digital assets. Learn more about staking<br>

<br>Staking Risk. When the Funds stake digital assets, the digital asset is subject to the risks attendant to staking generally. Staking requires that the Funds lock up digital assets for the period of time required by the staking protocol, meaning that the Funds cannot sell or transfer the staked digital assets, thereby making it illiquid for the period it is being staked. In addition, during the lock-up period, the Funds are subject to the market price volatility of the digital assets, and it may miss opportunities to sell the staked digital assets during opportune times. During the unstaking period, the Funds may miss out on earning opportunities because, in some cases, the staked digital assets may not earn rewards during the unstaking period or may only earn rewards during part of the unstaking period. Staked digital assets are also subject to security breaches, network downtime or attacks, smart contract vulnerabilities, and validator or custodian failure or compromise, which can result in a complete loss of the staked digital assets or a loss of any rewards.
