📈 Ethereum staking has reached a new milestone this week, with more than 35 million ETH, over 28.3% of the total supply.
Ethereum staking has officially crossed 35 million ETH, which now accounts for over 28.3% of the total supply.
Here’s the full picture:
Massive Growth: Over 500,000 ETH was staked in just the first half of June 2025 alone.
- Institutional Surge: Companies like SharpLink Gaming have staked hundreds of millions in ETH, signaling a shift from speculative trading to long-term yield strategies.
- Liquidity Crunch: With so much ETH locked up, the liquid supply on exchanges is shrinking, which could lead to increased price volatility.
Top Stakers: Lido Finance leads with 25% of all staked ETH, followed by Coinbase and Binance, each handling around 7.5%.
Regulatory Boost: The U.S. SEC recently clarified that protocol-level staking doesn’t count as securities activity, encouraging more institutional participation.
Investor Confidence: Addresses that have never sold ETH now hold a record 22.8 million coins, showing strong long-term conviction.
