According to @MilkRoadDaily, $6.6B of ETH is staked and generates about $200M per year in staking revenue, source: @MilkRoadDaily. This arithmetic implies an approximately 3.0% annualized staking yield that traders can use as a benchmark for ETH staking strategies and validator returns, source: @MilkRoadDaily. @MilkRoadDaily also shared an explainer video on how ETH staking revenue works, offering context for positioning in staking-related exposures, source: @MilkRoadDaily.

According to Milk Road, Ethereum (ETH) compares favorably with BTC, gold, and U.S. Treasuries by offering a bond-like staking yield, faster on-chain settlement than card networks, 24/7 trading, programmability, and no centralized custodian or issuer, source: Milk Road. Ethereum provides protocol-level staking rewards paid in ETH to validators, giving holders a native yield if they stake, while Bitcoin (BTC) has no protocol-level staking or native yield, sources: Ethereum.org Staking; Bitcoin.org Developer Guide.
