They credit the identical income to the fund's assets instead, so it ends up in the price rather than in your cash account.
That difference sounds like bookkeeping, and it is in fact the point where tax burden, compounding and the workload of your annual tax return begin to diverge. Buy a crypto product because it carries the word staking in its name and, depending on the wrapper, you are buying two very different things.
