Institutional demand for staking-enabled ETFs is on the rise, according to Swiss crypto bank Sygnum, despite a recent market downturn. As of November 11, 2025, 16 ETF applications are stalled due to the U.S. government shutdown, with potential SEC approvals anticipated once the shutdown ends. Sygnum's research reveals that over 80% of institutional investors are interested in diverse ETFs, and 70% are open to expanding their portfolios with staking incentives. This trend underscores a shift towards yield-generating assets beyond traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
