Ethereum News: Grayscale’s Ethereum Staking ETF Just Had Its CFO Resign

Grayscale Investments filed an SEC Form 8-K for its Grayscale Ethereum Staking Mini ETF, disclosing the resignation of CFO Edward McGee after seven years and the appointment of co-CFOs Kathryn Masci and Daniel Plourde on an interim basis. The filing appears to be a planned governance transition rather than an operational disruption, with no indication of changes to fund strategy, staking policy, or custody. The more market-relevant story is the product’s strong traction: the ETF held over 861,000 ETH in Q1 2026, up from about 734,000 at the start of the year, with roughly $337 million in net inflows and about 67% of assets staked. Staking rewards and a competitive 0.15% fee make the product structurally attractive versus non-staking spot ETH funds. Overall, the leadership change is neutral for ETH price direction, while the fund’s inflow and staking data reinforce institutional demand for Ethereum exposure.
