The approved ETFs are all spot, meaning that the ETH inflows there will not be staked at all. Source:

Also good for the network. Blindly staking retail's ETH via an ETF would make it appear as if there is no risk in staking.

And if mom and pap lost their savings due to a mass slashing event (staking risk) I don't want to imagine the backlash.
