Fidelity will add staking and quarterly payouts to its $898 million ETH ETF. 12 Aug, 2026 byDropsTab Join Its Socials Fidelity is preparing to launch staking and quarterly payouts for its ether ETF (FETH), one of the largest in the U.S. with assets totaling $898 million. The fund will be able to stake up to 100% of its ether, while reserving a portion for share redemptions. This became possible thanks to an IRS clarification that allows crypto trusts to stake assets without losing their tax benefits. Fidelity will join Grayscale and 21Shares, which have already done this earlier. BlackRock has chosen a different approach and launched a separate product with staking capabilities. Fidelity will keep 85% of the staking revenue, with the remainder going to service providers. The revenue will first cover the fund's expenses and then be distributed as quarterly payouts to holders. Hyperliquid is working on launching perpetual contracts in the U.S. market - The Information. 12 Aug, 2026 byDropsTab Join Its Socials Hyperliquid is exploring ways to bring perpetual contract trading to the U.S. market, reports The Information. Currently, the platform is closed to U.S. users. Previously, the Hyperliquid Policy Center, funded by the Hyper Foundation, conducted research and lobbying efforts in Washington. Its goal is to achieve the creation of a regulated legal framework for on-chain perpetuals and a decentralized market infrastructure in the U.S. Wintermute to invest $1 billion in AI and HFT infrastructure to enter traditional markets. 12 Aug, 2026 byDropsTab Join Its Socials Crypto market maker Wintermute will invest around $1 billion over five years in high-frequency trading and AI data centers to enter traditional markets amid a prolonged crypto downturn. The company aims to become a dealer in stocks, commodities, and currencies, following the model of Jane Street and Citadel Securities. The funds will come from its own profits. The crypto market is currently in decline: Bitcoin has fallen to half its October peak, and Wintermute's trading volumes have dropped from $15 billion to $10 billion per day. Right now, non-crypto markets account for only 10% of the company's revenue; the goal is to increase this share to over 50% by the end of 2027. Wintermute already trades ETFs and perpetual futures on real assets, and last week it obtained broker-dealer status in the U.S. for stock trading.

Aster has launched AOS-2: an open listing of PERPs for ASTER staking. 11 Aug, 2026 byDropsTab Join Its Socials Aster announced the launch of the second phase of Aster Open Standards (AOS-2), which extends the open listing rules from spot markets to perpetual futures. Here's how it works: The applicant stakes 1 million $ASTER for 4 years with no early withdrawal option. Next, the application is put to on-chain voting by validators. If the vote passes, Aster's risk team configures the market parameters, and the perpetual is launched the following day (T+1). If the application is rejected, the staked tokens are fully returned. The staking and voting rules are identical for all applicants, while the risk team at Aster sets the risk parameters and leverage for each market. All decisions are recorded on the blockchain. The company previously launched AOS-1 for the open listing of spot pairs. AOS-3 is planned next. Join Stake 200% Bonus. Win $100k Daily.
