Staked ETH has reached a new all-time high of 34,824,875 ETH. The total represents 28.15% of the Ethereum supply now locked in staking contracts.

The validator count stands at 1,088,277, and staking activity is pushing upward after a period of consolidation and a brief decline earlier in the month.

Lido remains the leading staking entity, with 8.94 million ETH staked, accounting for 25.6% of the total market share. Centralized exchanges Binance and Coinbase follow, with 2.65 million and 2.59 million ETH staked, respectively, representing a combined share of over 15%.

Notably, ether.fi, a liquid restaking platform, continues to gain traction with 2.25 million ETH, up 16% over the past month.

Beaconcha.in data shows consistent staking growth since Ethereum’s Beacon Chain launch, with accelerated deposits following the Merge, Shapella, and Dencun upgrades. The staking rate has climbed steadily over the past year, coinciding with more sophisticated restaking strategies and the expansion of staking service providers.

The staking milestone arrives as the ETH price surged 9.5% in the past 24 hours to $2,758. The move follows a temporary plateau earlier this month, rising market volumes, and upward momentum since June 9.

Despite Lido’s dominance, its share is down 2% over the past month and 9% over six months, reflecting broader diversification in the staking landscape.

Platforms such as Blockdaemon and Rocket Pool show strong medium-term growth, with the former up 85% over six months, signaling increased adoption of decentralized and institutional staking options.
