BlackRock moves to add staking to Ethereum ETF amid surge in inflows

  • BlackRock seeks to enable staking in its ETHA fund, aiming to boost returns and efficiency for investors.
  • ETH ETFs see $726M in daily inflows, with BlackRock’s ETHA leading at nearly $500M, amid rising demand.
  • SEC openness to staking ETFs grows, following approval of the first Solana staking fund and increasing industry filings.

BlackRock has filed to incorporate staking into its iShares Ethereum Trust (ticker: ETHA), the largest Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) by assets under management.

The move, disclosed in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday, follows growing institutional interest in Ethereum staking products and comes amid record-breaking net inflows into ETH ETFs.

The filing was submitted by Nasdaq under SEC Rule 19b-4, which national securities exchanges follow to propose new fund structures.

BlackRock is the latest asset manager to pursue staking capabilities for its Ethereum fund, joining a competitive field that includes Grayscale, 21Shares, and others with similar proposals already in the pipeline.

BlackRock’s filing outlines that the trust may stake “all or a portion” of its ETH holdings through one or more trusted staking providers.

The proposal specifies that the ether held by the trust will not be pooled with other entities, nor will the trust assume risk on behalf of others from slashing or network forks.

Coinbase, currently acting as custodian and prime execution agent for ETHA, is expected to serve as the fund’s staking partner.

Record ETH inflows signal demand

The filing comes at a moment of surging interest in Ethereum investment products.

On Wednesday, ETH ETFs recorded their highest single-day net inflow since launch, totaling $726.74 million, with BlackRock’s ETHA accounting for $499 million of that sum.

So far in July, ETH ETFs have attracted over $2.27 billion in net inflows, marking the strongest monthly inflow to date, according to data from SoSoValue.

ETHA was approved in July 2024, as part of a group of spot Ethereum ETFs greenlit by the SEC shortly after it approved the first spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier in the year.

ETHA currently holds over $7.9 billion in assets, underscoring BlackRock’s leadership position in Ethereum-based exchange-traded products.

BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets, Robert Mitchnick, has previously signaled that staking would be the “next phase” for crypto ETFs.

Thursday’s filing appears to make that vision concrete, at a time when regulatory momentum and investor interest are aligning.

Staking ETFs enter regulatory spotlight

BlackRock’s move comes shortly after the SEC approved the REX-Osprey Solana Staking ETF, the first US-based staking ETF, earlier this month.

That product was approved under the more stringent Securities Exchange Act of 1940.

In contrast, BlackRock’s ETHA staking proposal falls under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, under which no staking ETF has yet been approved.

However, SEC officials have indicated growing openness to staking ETFs.

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart noted on X (formerly Twitter) that “staking is not done,” predicting that approval for Ethereum staking ETFs may arrive as early as Q4 2025.

While BlackRock’s latest filing may not receive a final decision until around April 2026, the broader outlook for staking products appears favorable.

As Ethereum’s price hovers near $3,399—still below its 2021 all-time high of $4,878—the prospect of yield-generating, regulated staking products could further fuel institutional adoption.

With competitors also eyeing staking ETFs for assets like Cronos, Tron, and Injective, BlackRock’s move signals an increasingly diverse crypto ETF landscape taking shape.

FLOKI price rally gains 40% as rare EMA signal points to further 25% rise

  • FLOKI surged 40% in 24 hours to $0.0001352, backed by a rare triple EMA bullish crossover and steady on-chain holding behavior.
  • Technical indicators point to a potential move toward $0.000164, with Fibonacci levels confirming bullish momentum.
  • Long-term holders aren’t selling into the rally, lowering supply pressure and reinforcing market confidence.

FLOKI has recorded a sharp 40% price increase in 24 hours, pushing its value to $0.0001352 at the time of writing. On-chain and technical indicators suggest this surge may not be short-lived.

With a rare triple EMA bullish crossover confirmed and the Age Consumed metric signalling continued holding behaviour, the memecoin appears poised to test the $0.000164 level—a 25% rise from its current price—if current momentum holds.

Key support and resistance zones derived from Fibonacci extensions are also in play, suggesting a decisive phase for FLOKI’s near-term trajectory.

Despite the price uptick, long-held FLOKI tokens are not being redistributed.

The last notable movement of dormant coins occurred in early July when the Age Consumed value surged to approximately 62 trillion, a sign often associated with redistribution.

In contrast, the current trend has seen that indicator stay muted, implying that larger holders are refraining from selling into the rally.

This absence of sell-side activity from long-term holders has lowered the supply pressure, creating room for upward price movement.

This trend also suggests that market confidence is rising. A spike in the Age Consumed metric would normally precede a potential correction, as older tokens re-enter circulation.

Rare triple EMA crossover confirms bullish trend

FLOKI’s current rally gained traction around 10 July, when a significant technical pattern began to form.

On that date, the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) crossed above the 50-day EMA.

Two days later, the 20-day EMA rose above the 100-day EMA, and by 16 July, the 50-day EMA also overtook the 100-day EMA.

This alignment of moving averages forms a rare technical formation known as a Triple EMA Bullish Crossover.

Such a formation is typically interpreted as a strong bullish signal, particularly when all three key EMAs line up in ascending order.

It reflects consistent buying momentum across short, medium, and long timeframes.

This technical confirmation comes at a time when FLOKI has already seen sustained interest across social media platforms, driving increased retail attention.

If the crossover holds, it could support the continuation of the rally beyond near-term resistance levels.

Fibonacci levels suggest $0.000164 target

From a price action perspective, FLOKI has reclaimed multiple Fibonacci levels after bouncing back from a recent low of $0.000091.

Drawing the trend-based Fibonacci extension from the impulse low of $0.000059 to a local high of $0.000104, and then back to the retracement at $0.000091, the memecoin has moved through the 0.618 Fib level—often regarded as a critical support zone during upward moves.

The next key level is $0.000136, which has served as a resistance point.

FLOKI has already tested this zone, and a breakout above it could lead to the 1.618 Fibonacci extension target at $0.000164.

This would represent a 25% rise from the current price of $0.000132.

However, the bullish structure is not without risk. A drop below $0.000102, which corresponds to the 0.236 Fib level, could invalidate the current setup.

This level also coincides with the start of the present bullish impulse, and falling below it may signal a reversal or exhaustion in the trend.

FLOKI’s outlook hinges on support holding above $0.000102

While FLOKI has exhibited strong technical and on-chain signals, its continuation depends on key levels being maintained. The absence of activity among long-term holders is a positive sign, suggesting confidence rather than panic.

At the moment, a move toward the $0.000164 target remains technically supported. But if market momentum falters and price action dips below the $0.000102 threshold, it could spell the end of the rally.

Traders are now closely watching how the memecoin behaves around these inflection points to determine whether the bullish thesis holds.
