There are some good takeaways here from our Chief Regulatory and Strategy Officer. We highly recommend following her work for more regulatory insights like this. ➕
I came across this article surrounding a new Ethereum Fund with staking. While promising, here are my takeaways: 🔹 This piece reinforces that other jurisdictions, including Japan are allowing issuers to incorporate staking into their ETFs – something the U.S. should do to keep up with other global jurisdictions and because true protocol staking is not a security. To this point, I’ve noticed that staking has been used to describe a lot of activities that are not actually protocol staking. That’s why I think it’s important to consistently use the term “protocol staking” to describe the process underlying proof of stake blockchains. As an industry, we should make the effort to be accurate and consistent with our words. 🔹 I’ve also noticed that the press, the financial industry, and even some in the crypto space are using inaccurate and misleading words to describe true protocol staking, which further propagates the inaccurate narrative that protocol staking is a security. For example, this article describes protocol staking as “pooling funds to earn returns,” which is not correct. Rewards are not “returns” and ETH protocol staking - that node operators like Figment provide - does not involve pooling funds. We also have to collectively stop referring to rewards as “yield.” Yield is a specific financial term used to describe a specific type of investment return. It is inaccurate and harmful to protocol staking to describe rewards as yield. We must be better as an industry to guide accurate conversations about staking. 🔹 Furthermore, protocol staking does not involve “lending” your ETH to a validator. When someone uses their ETH to set up a validator for protocol staking on ethereum, you own that validator, not the node operator, and your ETH remains in your custody and control. Your ETH is used to strengthen the network’s security, and in return, you earn protocol rewards. Here’s how we should think of things moving forward: ✅ “Protocol staking” to describe the process underlying proof of stake blockchains. ✅ Use the term “Rewards” ❌ Stop using the term “Yield” While the U.S. should recognize what Ethereum staking is not (that being a security), we should better define what Ethereum staking is, and be clear and uniform about the language we use when discussing protocol staking.
