IRS Eases Staking Rules for Crypto Funds

  • —IRS replaces November 2025 staking rules for qualifying funds
  • —Funds may now use multiple custodians to hold their coins
  • —Separate SEC approval of staking disclosures is no longer required
  • —Rewards must be paid within 60 days after the quarter, in crypto or cash
Why it matters: The guidance reduces legal uncertainty for staking spot crypto ETFs and could speed up new product launches in the U.S.
