The proportion of staked ETH rises to 31%, diverging from price trends, as on-chain confidence continues to strengthen
Despite the ETH price dropping about 26% this year, the staking ratio of Ethereum has increased from 29% at the beginning of the year to about 31%, showing that long-term holders are ignoring price weakness and on-chain risks, continuously reducing the circulating supply. Historical data indicates that in the context of tightening circulating supply, once demand experiences a substantial recovery, it will provide favorable support for the price.
Meanwhile, liquid staking protocols like Lido have significantly lowered the participation threshold, expanding the staking community from professional validators to a broader range of retail and institutional users. Analysis points out that as spot ETF products mature and the scale of RWA tokenization activities on Ethereum expands, institutional demand for staking ETH may bring structural capital inflows to the staking ecosystem.
Although the ETH price performance has been poor, Ethereum's core position in RWA settlement, DeFi infrastructure, and Layer 2 activities continues to solidify. Whether the price can reverse may depend on the speed at which institutional capital shifts from narrative to actual allocation.
