"3/After the $BTC ETF is approved traditional investor focus will shift to $ETH. But an $ETH spot ETF will not be exciting until it can deliver total return (ETH + Staking Yield). This will be incredibly difficult in the context of bonding/unbonding and regulatory liquidity requirements.Therefore other $ETH total return products may be more exciting to investors--the real yield is differentiating. And to maximize institutional adoption these products should be benchmarked"

"As institutions start looking at $ETH total return ($ETH + staking) products after the $BTC ETF is approved the staking communitys business model of you get what you get and I take 10% quickly becomes obsolete. This is both an opportunity and a risk for the staking community. Why obsolete Because institutions will demand the transparency of third party benchmarks. Competitive pricing will squeeze that 10% much closer to zero over time. With much smaller fees the need for scale will drive consolidation. But institutions will bring size to offset those lower fees. Those who scale will win."

"Excellent $ETH ETF tracker by @Blockworks_ π. But unlike $BTC and the imminent $BTC ETF there is a fundamental economic difference between $ETH and its spot ETF. $ETH can be staked for an attractive real staking yield while it is highly unlikely that regulators will allow a total return (ETH +Staking) ETF in the U.S. anytime soon. A scalable accessible and benchmarked total return $ETH product will be a game changer"

"Yes. My own personal thoughts are that the SEC will approve the $ETH spot ETF just like they've approved the $ETH futures one. However I do not think they will approve staking (for a variety of reasons) and due to bonding/unbonding staking does introduce some liquidity risk. Eventually we'll have "partial return" just like Canada (50% must remain unstaked) or perhaps a synthetic total return futures product build liquidity. Alternatively I expect other products (like a yield bearing ETHE) to gain marketshare"

"Americans confidence in many governmental institutions continues to deteriorate. The failed assassination attempt on former President Trump was a colossal inexcusable security failure. This is just another example in a long series of failures by government agencies. And this one changed the course of history. Nobody is perfect but taxpayers deserve better. Accountability is paramount; the social contract matters. There are some amazing public servants who operate our bureaucracy; but we need to do much better"
