SEC Crypto Task Force Explores Staking for Crypto ETFs
According to a memo uploaded by the SEC, on February 5, 2025, the SEC Crypto Task Force held a meeting with Jito Labs and Multicoin Capital to discuss integrating staking into exchange-traded products (ETPs).
The conversation centered on two models: service-based staking, where ETFs stake assets via validators like Jito Labs, and liquid staking tokens (LSTs), allowing ETF issuers to hold tokenized staked assets for liquidity.
The potential inclusion of staking in ETFs could reshape the industry by enhancing yield opportunities for investors while contributing to blockchain security. SEC representatives acknowledged concerns regarding lock-up periods and tax implications but showed openness to exploring compliant solutions.
