VanEck has withdrawn its filing for the Lido Staked Ether ETF, halting the planned launch.
VanEck announced it will retract the S-1 registration statement it filed in October for an exchange‑traded fund that would have tracked staked Ether via Lido.
The move follows a broader industry trend of delays and withdrawals in crypto‑asset ETF proposals, as firms reassess regulatory and market conditions.
Background
The proposed ETF was designed to provide investors exposure to Ethereum’s staking rewards, leveraging Lido’s staking platform. With the filing withdrawn, the product will not debut as initially scheduled.
