VanEck Withdraws SEC Registration for First US Lido Staked Ether ETF

Asset manager VanEck has formally withdrawn its registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for its proposed Lido Staked Ethereum ETF. Through a Form RW filed under Rule 477, VanEck confirmed it no longer plans to issue or distribute trust shares. The initial Form S-1 was submitted on October 16, 2025, to provide investors exposure to Lido's stETH and pass through Ethereum staking yields. VanEck offered no specific reason for the withdrawal. The fund never took effect, and no shares were issued or sold.
