 If ETH gets an ETF, proof of stake = a fully captured network within days (not that it isn't already)

 Curious to see if the ETFs will be allowed to stake, I assume they will.

 I doubt it. Thats an additional risk to the holders

 Don't see why they wouldn't. The custodians surely will want to stake cuz yield

 Hm, tough to say. If they allow it if expect it then be in separate products - one with and one without staking. Staking looks and smells like rehypothecating or stock lending. I think/hope the largest ETFs do not do this but I’m not certain. 

Nice work on WBD the other day. Always appreciate your thoughts. Cheers.

 Yea, dunno, gensler may use staking as an excuse to reject an ETF so maybe they won’t. If the custodian gets to decide I’m sure they’ll stake. Free profit (and own the network lol).
