21shares announced shareholder distributions for five cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds on September 28, 2026. The payments, generated from staking (locking tokens to support blockchain operations), are $0.031602 for the 21shares Ethereum Staking ETF (TETH), $0.076590 for the 21shares Solana Staking ETF (TSOL), $0.191360 for the 21shares Hyperliquid Staking ETF (THYP), $0.052939 for the 21shares Sui Staking ETF (TSUI), and $0.045029 for the 21shares Polkadot Staking ETF (TDOT). All five funds have an ex/record date of September 29, 2026, and a payable date of September 30, 2026. The distributions represent staking rewards earned from the assets held and staked by the funds, rather than dividends funded from 21shares' balance sheet. Staking can add a network-generated source of return to crypto funds that otherwise primarily track asset prices, but it also introduces validator, liquidity, operational, regulatory and protocol risks. 21shares said it is one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange-traded product providers and a subsidiary of FalconX, while maintaining independent operations. The funds are not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and do not have the same protections as registered ETFs and mutual funds. The company warned that staking and digital-asset investments involve substantial risks, including volatility, illiquidity, slashing, operational failures, cybersecurity breaches, uncertain rewards and possible loss of the entire investment.
