📊 Staking yields are falling, but institutions are locking up more ETH and SOL — why?
According to CoinDesk, the amount of staked ETH has reached 43.8 million — 35.9% of the total supply — while staked SOL has also risen to 440.5 million. The paradox is that yields are falling: ETH is now at 2.63% per year (down from 2.81%), and SOL is at around 6% (down from 6.38%).
The explanation: institutions decide to hold ETH/SOL first — staking is just extra income on assets they already want to own. Earning 2.63% is still better than 0%. Staking ETFs, liquid staking, and custodial services have also made it much easier to participate.
One notable milestone: the SEC must decide on the VanEck JitoSOL ETF — the first ETF to hold liquid staking tokens — by November 15.
The market remains subdued: BTC is around $71,050, down 3.7% in 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed Index has fallen to 20 — the Extreme Fear zone.
💬 Do you think staking will become crypto’s new “benchmark interest rate,” or is it just a passing trend?
$JST —the biggest gainer in the top 100 that hasn’t been mentioned recently: up 1.98% to $0.1469, with a market cap of ~$1.2 billion (CoinGecko, 00:33 UTC 13/11).
