Introduction to Encryption Staking and Yield Concepts
In PoS blockchains (such as Ethereum and Solana), holding tokens to participate in stake can assist in network operations and earn rewards, similar to interest or coupon payments in traditional finance. Direct staking has technical barriers, lock-up restrictions, and risk management requirements.
US Regulatory Trends: Stake Included in ETF
The new guidelines from the IRS and the Treasury allow compliant ETFs or trust funds to stake tokens under certain conditions and distribute rewards to investors. This means that staking returns can be realized in regulated ETFs.
Investment Focus: New Investors and Product Opportunities
- Investors can participate in stake earnings through traditional accounts without the need to operate nodes.
- ETF can achieve dual returns of “price + yield”, increasing its attractiveness.
- Competition drives down product costs, increases transparency, and enhances retail investor welfare.
Revealing the operation model and precautions of staking ETF
- Operating model: The fund holds PoS tokens, stakes through qualified nodes, and rewards are distributed periodically.
- Precautions: Locked liquidity risk, node penalty risk, tax liability, and yield volatility risk.
Long-term perspective: The integration of the encryption ecosystem and traditional finance
The policy changes mark a further integration of encryption assets with traditional finance:
- In the future, more stake earnings ETF / trust products will emerge.
- In investment allocation, staking ETFs may become a new option for “income-generating assets.”
- The encryption network becomes more secure and ecologically developed due to the inflow of staked funds.
Summary: The United States has opened up staking returns for cryptocurrency ETFs / trusts, marking a new phase in the crypto market from “price speculation” to “price + returns”, providing investors with a mature and compliant entry point for crypto investments.
