Canary Capital Files for Tron ETF With Staking Capabilities
The Securities and Exchange just days ago postponed its decision on Grayscale’s request to add staking to its ethereum ETF products.
What to know:
- Canary Capital has filed for a U.S. spot ETF that would track the price of Tron’s TRX token and include staking.
- The proposed fund would use third-party providers for staking and BitGo as custodian, with pricing data from CoinDesk Indices.
- The SEC has previously resisted staking features in crypto ETFs, though the current leadership may be more open to them.
Canary Capital is looking to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking the price of Tron’s native token, TRX, according to a filing.

The hedge fund submitted a Form S-1 for the Canary Staked TRX ETF with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday. As the name suggests, the fund — if approved — would stake portions of its holdings.
This would be done through third-party providers, with BitGo acting as custodian for the assets. The fund would track TRX’s spot price using CoinDesk Indices calculations.
A proposed ticker as well as the management fee for the product have not been shared yet.
Issuers had initially filed applications for spot ETFs with the staking feature included but removed them in an amended filing later in order to receive approval from the SEC on their proposals.
Publicidad
While the SEC under former Chair Gary Gensler was strictly against staking, issuers have grown more hopeful that they will be able to add the feature to their spot ether funds, among others, with the appointment of crypto-friendly Chair Paul Atkins.
A decision on a February request from Grayscale to allow staking in the Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHE) and the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF was postponed by the regulator just a few days ago.
