The increase in staking comes as ETH’s price climbs above $2,700, driven by renewed institutional interest.
Many holders now prefer to earn staking rewards rather than sell, especially as Ethereum’s issuance returned to an inflationary state earlier this year.
The rise in staked ETH also coincides with optimism around potential U.S. regulatory approval for spot Ether ETFs that include staking features.
Analysts suggest such products could be approved in the coming weeks, with firms like REX Shares preparing offerings.
Meanwhile, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) has demonstrated strong demand, seeing no outflows for 23 consecutive trading days.
Despite ETH’s modest 50% price gain over the past two years, staking participation has grown by 77%, showing increasing confidence in Ethereum’s long-term potential.
On Tuesday, ETH surged 8% intraday, briefly hitting $2,700 – its highest level since May 29.
However, this price remains a key resistance point that Ethereum must decisively break to sustain upward momentum.
