BlackRock registered the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust in Delaware on Nov. 19, opening a path toward the firm’s first staked Ethereum ETF in the US. The state-level trust registration does not constitute a formal Securities Act of 1933 application. Still, it positions BlackRock to launch a yield-bearing ETH product once the SEC permits staking inside ETF wrappers.

BlackRock now pursues two parallel tracks: adding staking to its live…

Since then, the spectacular collapse of Stream Finance saw depegs, bad debt and millions of dollars trapped in low-liquidity markets. The responses of some of the “curators” behind the vaults has left something to be desired, however. Curators are responsible for setting parameters on permissionless lending markets used to lever up user deposits.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin pointed to Sam Bankman-Fried’s collapsed crypto exchange FTX as the antithesis of what the blockchain network stands for: It’s decentralized, “can’t be evil,” and is a community, he believes. The crypto billionaire took to the main stage of Ethereum’s Devconnect Argentina conference on Monday, donning a pair of Willy Wonka-inspired sunglasses as well as a wrinkled Moo Deng shirt, and ripped into the former FTX CEO.
