A new record has been set in the Ethereum network: the volume of coins locked in staking has exceeded 35 million ETH. In just the first half of June 2025, users added over 500,000 ETH to staking, indicating a significant increase in interest in this tool.

Growing Investor Interest and New Metrics
Analysts emphasize that the increase in the number of coins locked in staking demonstrates high investor engagement, as well as a gradual decrease in the liquid supply of Ethereum on the market. This could contribute to further price growth of the asset due to a shortage of coins available for trading.
At the same time, there is an increase in the number of so-called “accumulation addresses” in the network — these are wallets that have never sold their ETH. Currently, approximately 22.8 million ETH is concentrated in such addresses, which is also a historical maximum for the ecosystem.
“Together, these two metrics make Ethereum one of the strongest crypto assets in terms of long-term fundamental factors and investor confidence,” the report states.
Price Dynamics and Market Changes
As of June 2025, the price of Ethereum is holding steady near the $2,550 mark. On the Binance exchange, a stable price trend for ETH/USDT can be observed, as confirmed by charts from TradingView.
It is worth noting that in May 2025, Ethereum’s share on exchanges dropped to a historical minimum — approximately 4.9% of the total supply. This is the lowest figure since the cryptocurrency’s launch over ten years ago and further evidence of long-term investor trust in the asset.
