Cointelegraph reports that Kean Gilbert, Lido’s head of institutional relations, said at ETHCC 2026 that Ethereum treasury companies need to adopt active yield strategies such as liquid staking and collateralized lending in order to outperform passive Ethereum ETFs issued by institutions such as Grayscale and BlackRock. Data shows that the current native ETH staking annualized yield is approximately 2.72%. Jimmy Xue, Chief Operating Officer of quant yield platform Axis, pointed out that treasury companies mainly deploy spot assets actively through basis trading and other methods to generate returns.
