Canary Capital has filed a second amendment to its proposed Staked SEI ETF.
And this version gets more interesting.
The filing says the fund expects to stake at least 90% of its SEI holdings under normal circumstances, while using BitGo as its custodian. The ETF is proposed to trade on Cboe BZX.
So investors wouldn't just get spot exposure to SEI.
The structure is also designed to generate additional SEI through the network's proof of stake rewards, with those rewards reflected in the fund's NAV.
Personally, this is the part I find interesting.
A spot ETF gives traditional investors exposure to the asset. A staking ETF potentially adds another layer by allowing that capital to participate in the network's native yield.
But there's still a big caveat.
This is a filing, not an approval.
The ETF hasn't started trading, and the SEC still has to make the relevant regulatory decisions.
If approved, though, it would give investors a regulated way to get both SEI price exposure and staking economics without directly managing the token or staking infrastructure themselves.
For SEI, that's a pretty important distinction.
The question now is whether Canary can turn the filing into an actual product.
