Staked Ethereum Reaches Record High with 35M ETH
The staked Ethereum supply has reached a historic peak of 35 million ETH, reflecting growing confidence in the network. This milestone coincides with a noticeable decrease in ETH’s liquid supply. Currently, over 28% of all Ethereum is staked, indicating a strong trend toward long-term participation in the network.
Investor Confidence Grows as Liquid Supply Shrinks
According to Dune Analytics, more than 500,000 ETH was staked during the first half of June alone. This surge in staking activity aligns with another record: Ethereum accumulation addresses now hold 22.8 million ETH, the highest level ever recorded.
- 35+ million ETH currently staked
- 28.3% of total ETH supply locked
- 500,000 ETH staked in early June
Regulatory Developments Support Staking Growth
The increase in staking activity follows positive regulatory developments in the United States. The SEC‘s Division of Corporation Finance recently clarified that certain staking activities don’t constitute securities offerings, providing much-needed regulatory clarity.
Lido Leads in Staking Market Share
The liquid staking protocol Lido dominates the staking landscape with 25% of all staked ETH. Major exchanges Binance and Coinbase follow with 7.5% and 7.4% shares respectively.
Future Outlook for Ethereum Staking
With record staking levels and decreasing liquid supply, Ethereum‘s staking ecosystem shows strong fundamentals. As regulatory clarity improves and institutional interest grows, the network appears well-positioned for continued expansion. However, the community remains mindful of potential centralization risks associated with staking concentration.
