Ethereum Staking Breaks Record: Investor Confidence at Its Peak
While the cryptocurrency market continues to fluctuate, long-term confidence in Ethereum stands out. According to Dune Analytics data, staking activities surpassed 35 million ETH this week — which corresponds to approximately 28.3% of the total supply.
🟢 Only in the first half of June, more than 500,000 new ETH were added to staking. This trend shows that investors prefer to earn passive income and maintain their confidence in the market rather than short-term selling.
Although the price of Ethereum remains stagnant, the increasing staking activity is limiting the circulating liquid supply. Experts say this could create a foundation for potential price squeezes and upward movements in the future.
Staking: Making ETH More Resilient
The rapid increase in the amount staked is boosting Ethereum's fundamental reliability. Onchainschool made the following comment by analyzing data from CryptoQuant:
"The rise in staking is a sign of increased investor confidence and decreasing selling pressure."
Additionally, there are a total of 22.8 million ETH in addresses that have never made a sale to date — this is an all-time high.
Regulation Effect: SEC Support for 'Staking Freedom'
At the end of May, the SEC announced that protocol-based staking is not considered a security. This statement was a significant victory for Ethereum and other Proof-of-Stake networks. However, ETF applications involving staking have still not gained clarity — for example, Bitwise's application was postponed in May and uncertainty continues.
Liquid Staking, Centralization, and Structural Risks
Currently, a large portion of staked ETH is found in liquid staking protocols:
Lido: 25+%
Binance: 7.5%
Coinbase: 7.4% (Coinbase alone is the largest node operator at 11.4%)
Some experts warn that these structures could lead to centralization. Nevertheless, especially institutional investors are rapidly increasing their interest in liquid staking.
Whale Purchases Break Records: Whales' Eyes on Ethereum
On June 12, whales turned to Ethereum. In just one day, more than 871,000 ETH were transferred to large wallets — this is the highest daily inflow figure of 2025. The total assets in wallets holding 1,000–10,000 ETH reached 14.3 million ETH. Glassnode data shows that this movement reversed months of whale outflows and reflects long-term investor confidence.
These large accumulations often indicate a tendency to position before ecosystem developments or macro-break expectations. Historical data shows that such whale activities can herald sharp price increases.
Developments, Risks, and Price Expectations
📈 Reasons for the Rise:
Upcoming Ethereum updates
Tokenization of real assets
The rapid adoption of Layer-2s like Arbitrum and Optimism
📉 Short-Term Risks:
Shares of SharpLink Gaming plummeted 73% after a $1 billion ETH plan.
Such developments are causing short-term fluctuations and uncertainties in the market.
