Ethereum (ETH) staking is reaching all-time highs. The Proof of Stake network is seeing more interest by investors (or validators) as crypto markets grow under the beneficent Trump administration.
Ethereum is the second most popular crypto after Bitcoin with a current market cap of over $300 billion. Currently trading at around $ 2,500, ETH reached its all-time high a couple of years ago when it topped $ 4,600.
While you can earn around 2% pa staking Ethereum, it appears the interest in the crypto may be driven by expectations for a bull run in the near future.
Whales are scooping up $ETH like never before.

Dom Harz, co-Founder of BOB, a hybrid Layer-2, says the total supply of ETH staked hit an all time high this week with over 35 million staked or around 28% of the total supply now locked.
“With ETH consolidating above $2.4K, up from a low of $1.4K in April, investor confidence is clearly returning, as many choose to stake rather than sell. This level of ETH locked in staking protocols suggests increasing market saturation, with fewer interesting opportunities for holders to put their ETH to work. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is consolidating above $104K, still sitting on vast, untapped liquidity. The real opportunity lies in the convergence of these two ecosystems — connecting Bitcoin’s capital with Ethereum’s DeFi infrastructure to unlock the next wave of yield and innovation.”
Overall interest in digital assets is growing, aided in part by the blockbuster IPO completed by Circle which has seen its shares go hyperbolic.
