Fidelity Investments has filed an amended Form S-3 with the Securities Commission. The organization plans to add staking to its spot Ethereum ETF called FETH. The supplier will be able to stake up to one hundred percent of the fund's assets. The total amount of funds in this fund is almost nine hundred million dollars. The minimum and maximum share of blocked assets have not been officially established. The supplier reserves the right to retain a portion of Ethereum for repayment of shares and other operational needs. This approach provides the liquidity needed to fulfill obligations to unit holders. The staking procedure itself will be implemented through trusted custodians.

Anchorage Digital and BitGo custodians will stake Ethereum through trusted vendors. Fidelity Digital Assets will also act as a custodian for this fund. Trusted service providers include Blockdaemon and Figment. Galaxy has also been included in the list of staking partners. Fidelity Investments will receive eighty-five percent of all staking revenue. The operators, custodians, and sponsor will split the remaining fifteen percent between themselves. The issuer will primarily use the net profit to pay off the fund's current expenses. The remaining funds will be distributed to the unit holders on a quarterly basis. Thus, the owners of the shares will be able to receive additional income related to the activities of the Ethereum network.

The US Internal Revenue Service made important amendments last November. The new rules allow operators of cryptocurrency trusts to place assets in staking without losing their tax status. This decision has led to a number of companies adding staking to their products. BlackRock went the other way: in December 2025, it applied to launch a new fund in which the possibility of staking was initially provided. Fidelity is also currently adapting its existing fund to the new regulatory environment. Market participants are closely monitoring the development of cryptocurrency ETFs, as the appearance of additional features increases the attractiveness of products for investors. Institutional investors are getting more opportunities to work with ether and its ecosystem.
