Eth has all the fundamentals to hit 0.1 BTC again.

this price around $4250 seems so stable hopefully we can see ATH soon, hopefully it can show what Ethereum can do.

I suspect the rise may be due to 401K's now having access to private equity and crypto exposure.

30% of the entire eth supply is staked. CoinDesk (Aug 8, 2025) reports that over 36 million ETH—equating to almost 30 percent of the total supply—is locked in staking contracts.

Bitget (July 13, 2025) notes staking has reached a new all-time high of 29.44 percent of total supply.

The Block (as of July 9, 2025) indicates the staked share stands at 29.39 percent—also the highest recorded to date.

Coin World (July 23, 2025) highlights that 35.67 million ETH, or about 29.5 percent of the circulating supply, is staked, valued around $132.5 billion.
Reduced liquid supply: When ~30% of ETH is staked, it’s locked up in validator contracts, meaning it can’t be sold on exchanges. This lowers circulating supply and can create upward price pressure if demand stays steady or rises.

Investor confidence: High staking participation signals that a large portion of holders are willing to lock ETH for long-term rewards, suggesting confidence in Ethereum’s future.

Network security: More staked ETH means stronger proof-of-stake security, which increases trust in the network and may attract more institutional interest.


🔹 Potential risks / counterpoints

Unlock events: If a large group of stakers decide to unstake (e.g., after price rallies), selling pressure could appear.

Centralization concerns: If staking is concentrated in a few providers (like Lido or major exchanges), it could raise governance/security worries, which might spook some investors.

High staking yield impact: If yields drop too low, new staking might slow, and some stakers might withdraw to seek better returns elsewhere.


Bottom line:
Right now, with ~30% staked and ETH demand stable, this is a structurally supportive factor for the price. It reduces sell pressure and signals strong holder conviction, which is typically good for medium- to long-term price trends—especially if staking participation keeps growing.
