Ethereum Exposure via the REX-Osprey Ethereum Staking ETF
The REX-Osprey Ethereum Staking ETF offers cost-effective exposure to Ethereum (ETH) and staking rewards. By holding directly staked ETH and other exchange-traded products, the fund provides unique access to the Ethereum blockchain. The fund’s structure allows it to pass all staking rewards directly to investors, with no portion retained by REX or Osprey.
Greg King, CEO of REX Financial, highlighted the significance of the launch. “With ESK, we’re giving investors access to Ethereum plus staking rewards in the most broad-based U.S. ETF format,” he said. The launch of ESK follows a growing interest in crypto staking through traditional ETF structures, further cementing Rex-Osprey’s role in expanding the crypto investment landscape.
Staking Rewards with the Ethereum Staking ETF
The REX-Osprey Ethereum Staking ETF brings additional value to Ethereum investors by offering staking rewards. Investors can benefit from Ethereum’s proof-of-stake network, which allows them to receive monthly distributions. The fund’s strategy ensures that all staking rewards generated from the ETH held by the fund are passed on to investors directly.
This structure offers a unique opportunity to combine exposure to Ethereum with the benefits of staking. As Ethereum continues to evolve, the staking rewards could enhance returns for investors in the long term. Rex-Osprey’s Ethereum Staking ETF is poised to attract investors seeking exposure to Ethereum while also gaining the benefits of Ethereum staking.
