Fed holds rates at 3.75-4%, causing Ether staking yields to lag behind US rates, prompting fund outflows.

The US Federal Reserve kept its policy rate unchanged at 3.75 to 4.00 percent, with two members dissenting for a hike. This decision means short-term dollar deposits yield more than Ether staking, which averaged 2.63% in Q3 2026, making Ether less attractive to US investors. Consequently, American Ether funds saw outflows of $148.8 million over two days, while Bitcoin funds gained $176 million, indicating a shift within crypto markets rather than an exit. In contrast, European investors benefit from the ECB's 2.5% deposit rate, making Ether staking slightly more favorable there. Despite falling yields, the amount of Ether staked continues to grow, reflecting long-term holders' focus on scarcity and network security rather than short-term yields. The ECB's upcoming rate decision could further influence staking attractiveness in Europe.

Ethereum staking yield is reported at 2.63% in Q3 2026, below the US dollar short-term deposit rate of 3.75 to 4.00 percent.
