more ETH was staked in October than in any other month in Ethereum’s history. total staked $ETH reached roughly 43.8–43.9 million by late October, equal to about 35.9–36% of total supply. that is a new all-time high, according to Bitwise and on-chain trackers. the climb continued through 2026 even as ETH’s price moved lower for much of the year. net inflows stayed positive for multiple consecutive quarters. institutions, treasury companies, and staking ETFs have been a growing part of the demand. yields have compressed as more ETH entered the pool, with gross staking returns falling toward the mid-2% range. a larger share of supply locked in staking reduces the amount of $ETH that can easily sell. it does not, by itself, set the price. the next thing to watch is whether the staking total keeps rising or begins to level off as yields stay low. #BTC Price Analysis# #Bitcoin Price Prediction: What is Bitcoins next move?# #Ethereum $BTC
