Ethereum staking hits historic highs and boosts investor confidence. The Ethereum ecosystem started 2026 with unprecedented levels of staking activity, reducing the net supply available on the market and reigniting expectations of a positive impact on prices in the medium term. Data from ValidatorQueue shows that approximately 35.9 million ETH are currently staked, equivalent to about 29.6% of the circulating supply. At current prices, this amount exceeds $119 billion, consolidating Ethereum as one of the largest proof-of-stake networks in economic value ever recorded. At the same time, Ethereum also reached record user activity in January, driven mainly by stablecoin transactions and the resumption of DeFi protocols.
