Based on available reports, BlackRock crypto ETF staking plans are moving forward after the company met privately with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Task Force last Friday. According to an official memo from the SEC, BlackRock’s top executives discussed expanding Ethereum ETF functionality through staking, introducing options for crypto ETFs and tokenizing traditional securities under existing laws.

The meeting on May 10 serves as a regulatory engagement between Wall Street and Washington as digital asset infrastructure gets more formalized. For BlackRock, it’s not just about launching spot ETFs, it’s about how these products can evolve to incorporate blockchain-native mechanisms like staking and tokenized asset management.

BlackRock Wants SEC Clarity on Staking for Ethereum ETFs

The main topic of the meeting was staking, specifically how Ethereum ETFs could be upgraded to support yield generation through staking rewards. BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets, Robert Mitchnick, who also attended the meeting, previously called staking in ETFs a “step change upward” during a panel in March.

Mitchnick reiterated that during the meeting, pointing out that without staking, Ethereum ETFs are not competitive with direct ETH holdings. According to the SEC memo, BlackRock laid out “considerations for ETPs with staking capabilities,” which means the company may push for changes to allow staked assets under the 1940 Act fund structure.

Staking would mean Ethereum ETF holders could earn passive income like native ETH stakers, raising regulatory and custodial questions around how staking services would be managed, taxed and disclosed to investors.

Tokenization Takes Center Stage as BlackRock Expands Digital Asset Strategy

Beyond staking, BlackRock used the meeting to pitch its vision for tokenizing real-world assets, referencing its recent launch of the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL). This fund is one of the first live examples of tokenized securities backed by U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents, built on Ethereum.

The company presented tokenization as a way to improve liquidity, transparency and efficiency in capital markets. In discussions with SEC officials, BlackRock asked whether existing securities laws under the 1933 and 1940 Acts could support broader tokenization efforts without new legislation.

The goal, according to the SEC memo, was to figure out “how to tokenize securities and fund interests within the existing regulatory framework.” This is in line with Commissioner Hester Peirce’s efforts to provide on-ramps for on-chain asset issuance without sacrificing investor protection.

SEC Looking at Options for Crypto ETFs

The meeting also touched on options for crypto ETFs, a topic that’s become more pressing since the SEC approved options trading for spot Ethereum ETFs. BlackRock discussed technical issues around position and exercise limits, margining, and market liquidity standards with the SEC trading and markets staff.

So the SEC greenlit options for Ethereum ETFs in late April and Friday’s meeting suggests both regulators and issuers are gearing up for more complex derivatives and structured products tied to crypto assets in the coming months. This includes questions around whether the existing frameworks for equity and commodity ETF options are sufficient for crypto linked funds.

SEC’s New Tone: From Enforcement to Structured Dialogue

The meeting shows a clear tone shift at the SEC, especially since Gary Gensler left. Under Gensler, the SEC went after major crypto firms with an enforcement campaign, often without formal rulemaking. Many of those cases have since been dropped or stalled.

Now with new leadership under Hester Peirce and Paul Atkins advising the transition, the agency is favoring structured engagement over litigation. Peirce leads the Crypto Task Force and has been advocating for open dialogue with industry participants to support innovation without bypassing investor protections.

Atkins said he expects “huge benefits” from properly regulated digital assets and is in favor of legislative clarity that complements the SEC’s role.

Conclusion

BlackRock’s push for crypto ETF staking and tokenization shows the financial industry is preparing for a new generation of blockchain integrated products. While the SEC has not formally approved ETF staking yet, the meeting indicates the momentum is building towards making that a reality. With regulatory will and industry demand increasing, Ethereum ETF staking and tokenized securities may soon move from theoretical to operational.
