On June 17, 2025, the amount of Ethereum staked ($ETH ) reached an all-time high of 35 million ETH, which is 28.3% of the total supply (120.72 million ETH), according to Dune Analytics. This is approximately $90 billion at current prices. An increase of 500,000 ETH in just the first half of June indicates a growing trust among investors in the network following the transition to Proof-of-Stake in 2022. The number of validators also reached a record - 1.1 million.
The increase in staking coincides with the rise in ETH price to $2700, although it recently dropped to $2556. Analysts attribute this to active accumulation by institutional investors, particularly BlackRock, whose iShares Ethereum Trust has not seen outflows for 23 consecutive trading days. The popularity of liquid staking, for example through Lido, and the anticipation of the launch of staking ETFs also fuel the trend.
A high level of staking reduces the liquid supply of ETH, which may contribute to price increases under conditions of sustained demand. It also strengthens the decentralization and security of the Ethereum network.
