Ethereum Staking Hits Record High Amid Price Weakness

Ethereum's staking supply has reached a record high of 41.9 million ETH, according to CryptoQuant, despite the altcoin's prolonged price weakness.

This steady increase suggests that lower prices have not weakened the incentive to lock ETH for yield, with total staked ETH rising from roughly 36 million in early 2026 to its current record high.

The steady inflows of around 28,700 ETH remain below earlier spikes above 200,000 ETH, showing that accumulation has become less aggressive. This reduction in liquidity could strengthen scarcity if market demand eventually recovers.
