BlackRock Prices Staked Ethereum ETF at 0.25% — Possible Catalyst for ETH Rally
BlackRock announced a 0.25% fee for its staked Ethereum ETF, a competitive rate that lowers the cost of getting institutional-grade staking exposure. The product is likely to attract both retail and institutional inflows thanks to BlackRock’s distribution reach and the appeal of an ETF wrapper that delivers staking rewards without direct node management.
ETFs have been absorbing significant amounts of ETH since staking-based products launched, and another low-fee entrant can tighten liquid supply further as ETH is locked or allocated to custodial staking. Traders and portfolio managers will be watching inflows and staking yield spreads closely — if demand remains strong, reduced available supply could add upward pressure on price, potentially acting as a catalyst for the next meaningful rally, though market volatility and macro factors remain relevant risks.
