By the end of Q3 2026, a record 43.8 million ETH, or 35.9% of the total supply, was staked, marking the largest amount ever locked in Ethereum staking. This growth continued despite a drop in gross staking yields from 2.81% to 2.63% and a decline in active validator numbers from about 1.1 million to 881,000, attributed to consolidation after the Pectra upgrade. The steady inflow of ETH into staking for six consecutive quarters suggests many holders prefer earning modest returns over liquidity. If this trend continues, yields may compress further as more ETH competes for staking rewards, potentially attracting more institutional investors and increasing participation.
