Grayscale Ethereum Staking M (ETH) Quarterly Institutional 13F Update (Q2 2026)

Grayscale Ethereum Staking Mini ETF entered into an amended trust agreement on August 6, 2026, replacing its previous governing document. The key change is that the fund will now regularly convert staking rewards into cash and pay the net proceeds out to shareholders — at least quarterly, with the current plan being monthly distributions. This 8-K is a routine contractual update rather than a surprise event.
