Fidelity allows 100% crypto staking for ETFs with exit delay risks
Fidelity's FETH and FSOL staking plans permit their Ethereum and Solana exchange-traded products to stake up to 100% of their crypto under normal conditions, while implementing a strategy for managing redemptions during prolonged network exits. The framework is outlined in the Aug. 21 prospectuses for the Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) and Fidelity Solana Fund (FSOL). Neither fund has a minimum staking requirement, allowing FD Funds Management to keep ether or SOL unstaked for foreseeable redemptions, expenses, asset protection, and liquidity. The 100% staking authority is not indicative of full staking; as of June 30, FSOL had 1,675,797 SOL staked out of 1,687,589 SOL held, valued at 126.3 million dollars, with net assets of 127.079 million dollars and a staked percentage of 99.64%. FETH reported 476,311 ether and 758.609 million dollars in net assets without a staked-ether line. Staking for FETH is expected to begin after Aug. 21. The redemption process includes reserves as a buffer, with options to extend settlement or deliver cash if unstaking is delayed. FSOL anticipates regaining control of staked SOL within two days, while FETH has no fixed duration for withdrawals. Fidelity also mentions potential future backstops, including credit facilities and digital asset borrowing. Each trust incurs staking fees of 15% of gross rewards, retaining 85% for expenses, distributions, and additional staking.
