Fact Check
The statement is directly and explicitly corroborated by a dedicated news source (blockchain.news, evidence 2 and 6) which reports that VanEck filed an S-1 for a 'Lido Staked Ethereum ETF'. While other evidence confirms VanEck also has a filing for a standard spot Ethereum ETF (evidence 1 and 9), this does not contradict the existence of a separate filing for a staked version. The confidence is high due to the direct corroboration, though not 1.0, as the primary SEC filing for the staked product itself is not present in the provided evidence.
Summary
VanEck’s Lido Staked Ethereum ETF and 21Shares’ leveraged Hyperliquid fund have reached the SEC’s desk this week despite the ongoing U.S. government shutdown. These filings are part of the growing trend of cryptocurrency-related ETFs, highlighting continued institutional interest in crypto-based financial products amidst regulatory delays.
