Grayscale Ethereum Staking Mini ETF 8-K

What Happened

• Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC filed a Certificate of Amendment (on Jan 2, 2026) to change the trust name from "Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF" to "Grayscale Ethereum Staking Mini ETF," effective 12:01 a.m. (New York City time) on Jan 5, 2026.
• The Sponsor also entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement (entered Jan 2, 2026) to effect the name change.

Key Details

• Name change filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on Jan 2, 2026; effective Jan 5, 2026 at 12:01 a.m. (NY time).
• Trading is expected to continue on NYSE Arca under the updated Trust name and the same trading symbol, "ETH."
• Outstanding stock certificates remain valid and do not need to be exchanged.
• The filing was signed on behalf of the Sponsor by Edward McGee, Chief Financial Officer, dated Jan 5, 2026.

Why It Matters

• The filing is a structural/branding change to the trust and its governing trust agreement—not a change in trading symbol or a cash/asset transaction.
• For investors, the primary effects are informational (updated name and related trust documentation); holding certificates and trading under symbol "ETH" continue without action required by shareholders.
