Summary

There is a possibility that staking features might be included in the Ethereum ETF, drawing significant interest from investors.
Joseph Lubin, CEO of ConsenSys, expressed hope for regulatory approval and stated that discussions are ongoing with stakeholders.
The existence of a virtual asset TF within the SEC and a shift towards a favorable stance by regulatory agencies could positively impact the ETF launch.

There is a claim that positive news may emerge regarding the Ethereum (ETF) spot exchange-traded fund (ETF), which disappointed many investors when it was launched without staking features.

On the 22nd, Joseph Lubin, CEO of ConsenSys, mentioned in an interview with Cointelegraph, "We are currently discussing with parties providing Ethereum ETFs about including staking in Ethereum ETFs," and added, "We hope to receive regulatory approval soon."

However, an Ethereum ETF with staking can only be launched with the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Cointelegraph reported, "Given that a virtual asset task force (TF) has emerged within the SEC, there is room for optimism," adding, "In particular, Hester Peirce, who leads the TF, mentioned in a December interview that regulatory agencies might take a favorable stance under the new administration."
