Grayscale's spot ETH ETF just rolled out its first staking dividend payout—a solid move that marks the U.S.-listed product's entry into yield-bearing territory. Shareholders are getting $0.083178 per share through Dec 31, 2025, with $9.4M in total cash rewards distributed across the Oct 6–Dec 31 period. Here's the thing: the payout came from ETH sales rather than diluting current holdings, so your ETHE position stays intact. At press time, ETHE was trading around $26.47 while the underlying ETH hovered near $3,299. This development signals how spot ETF issuers are increasingly competing on income generation, not just custody and access.

Wait, isn't the dividend of ETHE actually coming from selling ETH? Is this holding really stable?

Wait, is Grayscale starting to distribute dividends? $0.083 per share... when you add it up, it's not much. Still, we have to wait until the end of the year. But not diluting the position is quite considerate.

Finally received the returns. Grayscale's move this time is pretty good, and there's no need to dilute holdings.

Wow, Grayscale's move is pretty good. Finally getting dividends, and this time there's no dilution of shares, so I'm relieved.

NGL, this round of grayscale operations still has some substance. Not diluting holdings and still distributing dividends, the details are quite well executed.

Finally, someone is taking yield seriously. Grayscale's move is indeed interesting.

Grayscale's move is pretty clever, directly selling ETH for dividends while still retaining my ETH position... That's what real competition looks like.
