According to @WatcherGuru, the US Treasury and IRS issued new guidance that provides crypto ETPs a clear path to stake digital assets and distribute staking rewards to holders, signaling a regulatory shift for U.S.-listed products tracking proof-of-stake assets such as ETH and SOL; source: @WatcherGuru on X, https://twitter.com/WatcherGuru/status/1987969907321970942.
