Ethereum Staking Hits Record 36.3% Of Supply As ETH Holders Lock In

The ETH price has had a rough month. But Ethereum’s most committed holders do not seem to care. More than a third of all ether is now locked in staking, a new all-time high. According to Token Terminal data, Ethereum’s staking rate has climbed to 36.3% of total supply, up from the previous record of 32.4% set in June 2026. That is a jump of nearly four percentage points in just five months, and it happened while the market was falling. Why Ethereum Staking Matters Staking is more than a way to earn yield. Validators lock up ETH to verify transactions, propose new blocks and keep Ethereum’s proof-of-stake system running. The more ETH that is staked, the more expensive it becomes to attack the network.
