According to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart, Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. may start staking some of their tokens by May. On April 9, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) allowed the listing of option contracts tied to spot Ether ETFs. However, issuers are still awaiting approval for staking services.

The approval of option contracts could be a significant step towards regulatory approval for staking services in the U.S. Seyffart noted that the staking permission could come in May, but it might take until the end of 2025. This development could create new opportunities for investors. Share your thoughts in the comments.
