Ethereum’s staking rate reached a record 36.3% of total supply, up from 32.4% in June 2026, an increase of nearly four percentage points in five months. About 2.42 million ETH are currently waiting to enter staking, with an estimated wait of 42 days, while the exit queue is empty. The network has roughly 897,000 active validators, and stakers earn an annual yield of about 2.6%. The growth came despite ETH trading near $2,000 after falling roughly 18% over the past month and spot Ether ETFs recording outflows. BitMine, Grayscale, and staking through spot Ether ETFs are among the main drivers of the increase, reducing the amount of ETH immediately available on the market.
