21Shares has announced a new staking-related distribution for investors holding its Ethereum exchange-traded fund, reinforcing how yield from on-chain activity is increasingly finding its way into regulated investment products.
The crypto ETP issuer confirmed that holders of the 21Shares Ethereum ETF (TETH) will receive a cash distribution of $0.010378 per share, derived from staking rewards generated by the fund’s underlying ETH holdings.
According to the announcement, the ex-date and record date are set for January 8, 2026, while the payment will be made on January 9, 2026.
“21shares announced a distribution of $0.010378 per share for the 21shares Ethereum ETF (TETH) for staking rewards earned from its ETH holdings.”
How the Distribution Works
The payout reflects rewards earned through Ethereum’s proof-of-stake mechanism, where ETH is locked to help secure the network in return for yield. By distributing these rewards, 21Shares is passing through a portion of on-chain income directly to ETF investors, offering exposure not just to ETH price movements but also to staking-generated returns.
Investors must hold TETH shares through the record date to be eligible for the distribution. Shares purchased after the ex-date will not qualify for the January 2026 payment.
