The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is interested in staking and has requested information on its types and benefits.
The SEC's interest in staking is a significant shift in their perception, as staking-related activities were previously considered to violate securities rules.
The SEC has asked the industry to provide a memo with comprehensive information on different types of staking and their benefits, suggesting the possibility of releasing a regulatory framework for staking in the future.
The approval of staking in the 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF could impact the price of ETH by reducing the circulating supply and potentially appreciating its value.
