Odaily Planet Daily reports that Bitwise’s Q3 2026 Staking Report shows that 40.2 million ETH have been staked to date, accounting for 33% of the total ETH supply—a record high. This year’s new staking activity has been primarily driven by institutions, including staking ETFs, corporate treasuries, and other large holders. The report also indicates that staking rates across Bitwise’s covered networks remain elevated, with Solana at 68%, Near at 45%, Hyperliquid at 44%, and Avalanche at 41%.
Additionally, Ethereum's throughput increased by 73% year-over-year, and Avalanche's transaction volume reached four times that of the same period last year; recently, Coinbase and Circle each staked 500,000 HYPE on Hyperliquid, indicating that institutional staking is expanding toward more emerging PoS networks.
