Ethereum staking hits record 34.7% of total supply as yield compresses

BitcoinWorld Ethereum staking hits record 34.7% of total supply as yield compresses Ethereum’s staking participation has reached a new all-time high, with 41.89 million ETH — representing 34.7% of the network’s total supply — now locked in the beacon chain, according to data from Staking Rewards.

The milestone underscores the growing commitment to network security and the continued maturation of Ethereum’s proof-of-stake model, even as the annual yield for stakers compresses to around 2.6%.

Record staking participation and its drivers The latest figures show that the total value of staked ETH is approximately $78.56 billion, with roughly 789,000 active validators securing the network.

This level of participation marks a significant increase from earlier years, driven by the widespread adoption of liquid staking protocols like Lido and Rocket Pool, as well as the growing institutional interest in yield-generating digital assets.
