Ethereum Staking Gains Momentum Despite Price Volatility
While Ethereum‘s price has underperformed in 2025, institutional interest in Ethereum staking continues to grow, according to Kean Gilbert of the Lido Foundation. This divergence highlights how staking activity remains robust even during market fluctuations.
Institutional Adoption of Ethereum Staking Solutions
Komainu, a regulated digital asset custody provider, now offers institutional-grade custody support for Lido Staked ETH (stETH). Currently available in Dubai, UAE and Jersey, this service provides compliant staking access for professional investors.
The Advantages of Liquid Staking Tokens
- Tokens like stETH eliminate capital lock-up periods
- Provide immediate liquidity while earning staking rewards
- Integrate seamlessly with institutional custody solutions including Fireblocks and Copper
Beacon Chain Reaches New Staking Milestone
The Ethereum network recently achieved a record 34.7 million ETH staked on the Beacon Chain, demonstrating strong confidence in Ethereum’s staking mechanics and long-term viability.
Lido’s Evolving Institutional Offerings
With the launch of Lido v3’s modular smart contracts, the protocol continues enhancing its compliance features to meet institutional requirements. As Gilbert notes, these developments address critical custody needs for regulated entities.
The Future of Ethereum Staking
As Ethereum’s ecosystem matures, staking participation appears increasingly decoupled from short-term price action. With institutional adoption accelerating, Ethereum staking is poised for continued growth and innovation.
