Ethereum has flipped slightly bullish again after facing bearish pressure for several days and is trading back above the $4,300 price level. Amid this price fluctuation, a recent report shows that ETH’s staking activity has grown exponentially, with a massive portion of the altcoin locked away in staking.

A Massive Growth In Ethereum Staking

While Ethereum’s price is regaining upward traction, staking activity is on the rise. Currently, investors are doubling down on ETH, with staking activity spiking sharply as confidence in the network’s long-term potential strengthens.

This notable surge in staking activity was shared by CryptoGucci, a crypto enthusiast, on the X (formerly Twitter) platform. The development shows a robust commitment from institutional and retail players, who view Ethereum’s proof-of-stake architecture as a pillar for safeguarding the blockchain’s future rather than merely a yield potential.

According to the expert, there is currently more than 36,148,793 ETH locked into staking, even as market volatility continues to shape the broader crypto landscape. This significant number of ETH locked away in staking represents over 29.9% of the total supply of ETH in circulation.

At current market prices, the total ETH locked in staking is worth a staggering $158 billion. CryptoGucci noted that the huge capital from institutional and retail investors championed to the ecosystem is committed to securing ETH through staking.
