BlackRock's staking Ethereum ETF ETHB attracted approximately $46 million in inflows within two days of its launch, allowing investors to receive approximately 82% of staking rewards monthly. This design aims to attract "whale" investors who rely on yield income while avoiding the depreciation risks faced by existing ETFs.

Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 15 — DeFi researcher Ingas posted on X platform that BlackRock’s staking-based Ethereum ETF ETHB attracted approximately $46 million in inflows within just two days of listing. The fund holds spot ETH and uses Coinbase to stake 70%-95% of the ETH. Investors can receive about 82% of staking rewards in cash monthly. The fund does not compound returns, which may appeal to large investors relying on income from staking. The remaining 18% of the rewards go to BlackRock and Coinbase. Ingas stated that BlackRock launched a dedicated staking Ethereum ETF instead of adding staking to the existing Ethereum ETF ETHA because staking increases the risk of punitive devaluation, which some investors want to avoid.
