• Nasdaq’s proposal to permit staking in BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust now faces an October 30, 2025 deadline after a 45‑day extension.
• The agency said it designated a longer period to consider the rule changes, giving no indication of how it is leaning on the applications.
• The latest delays follow a broader pattern affecting multiple altcoin and staking proposals, with analysts counting roughly 90–92 crypto ETF applications pending.
