21Shares announces September staking payouts for five crypto ETFs

2 min

21Shares announced September staking distributions for five crypto ETFs: Ethereum (TETH), Solana (TSOL), Hyperliquid (THYP), Sui (TSUI) and Polkadot (TDOT). The funds convert onchain staking rewards from their proof-of-stake holdings into cash payouts for shareholders.

Distributions and key dates

  • TETH: $0.031602 per share
  • TSOL: $0.076590 per share
  • THYP: $0.191360 per share, the largest distribution
  • TSUI: $0.052939 per share
  • TDOT: $0.045029 per share
  • Ex-dividend and record date: September 29
  • Payment date: September 30

21Shares states these payouts originate from staking rewards earned by the funds’ staked assets: ETH, SOL, HYPE, SUI and DOT.

Staking’s impact on ETF design

Spot crypto ETFs traditionally offer price exposure. Proof-of-stake networks introduce an additional return stream through validator rewards. Funds that stake and distribute these rewards modify the investment profile beyond passive token tracking, adding yield to price beta.

This feature has become a competitive differentiator among crypto funds. It introduces operational demands: validator operations, liquidity planning, protocol risk management and compliant reward collection and distribution frameworks for securities and tax obligations.

21Shares has expanded staking across multiple networks, not limited to Ethereum or Solana. The inclusion of Hyperliquid, Sui and Polkadot indicates broader institutional adoption of staking within ETF structures. Newer products seek to package core network economics, allowing investors in proof-of-stake assets to capture both price movement and staking yield.
