ETHEREUM STAKING REACHES NEW MILESTONE



Ethereum's staking ecosystem just hit a historic record—nearly 30% of the total ETH supply is now locked in staking contracts. This surge reflects growing confidence in the network's Proof of Stake mechanism and signals strong demand for passive yield opportunities among both retail and institutional participants.

The milestone underscores how staking has become a cornerstone of Ethereum's economic model since the transition away from Proof of Work. As more validators secure the network, the protocol benefits from increased decentralization and capital commitment, while stakers enjoy network rewards without relying on centralized intermediaries.

With such a substantial portion of supply engaged in staking, the market dynamics around ETH liquidity and price discovery continue to evolve. This trend also highlights the broader shift toward long-term holding strategies in the DeFi space.

30% of ETH is locked, and this number looks quite alarming... Is it really a good thing?

30% has been staked, this move is really about holding back a big move. The coins are locked, how should liquidity be managed?

30% already? Damn, these numbers are pretty intense... But to be honest, the real big players have already gone all-in.
