$230B is now staked across PoS networks! Ethereum leads by a wide margin, with more than $100B securing its network, while Solana holds second place. The wider landscape includes BNB Chain, Cardano, NEAR, Aptos, Polygon, Celestia, and other ecosystems contributing to the growth of decentralized infrastructure. Since June, a combination of rising crypto valuations and growing staking participation has pushed the dollar value of network security higher. Ethereum added 1.99M ETH in net staking inflows during Q3, marking its sixth consecutive quarter of growth, while Solana also reached record staking levels. The broader crypto market rebounded 39.6% in Q3, further lifting the dollar value of staked assets. More capital committed to staking can strengthen the economic foundation of PoS networks, although dollar value alone does not capture every dimension of security or decentralization.
