The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Cryptocurrency Task Force is set to host a roundtable on May 12 titled "Tokenization - Moving Assets Onchain: Where TradFi and DeFi Meet." Ahead of this event, Grayscale has engaged with the SEC's Crypto Task Force to request approval for staking activities on its Ethereum ETFs.

These discussions reflect ongoing efforts to bridge traditional finance and decentralized finance through tokenization and enhanced ETF functionalities.
