Ethereum Staking Hits Record 36M ETH (30% of Supply) as Validator Entry Queue Reaches 2.4M ETH — What It Means for ETH Yields, Liquidity, and LST Pricing
According to @CoinMarketCap, Ethereum staking has reached an all-time high of roughly 36 million ETH, about 30% of total supply, with the validator entry queue at 2.4 million ETH; Source: CoinMarketCap, Jan 14, 2026. Based on 32 ETH per validator and an 8-per-epoch activation cap under EIP-7514 with ~225 epochs per day, the 2.4 million ETH queue (~75,000 validators) implies an estimated ~42 days to activate, affecting when new deposits start earning; Sources: Ethereum.org (Staking basics, Epoch timing), EIP-7514. As total staked ETH rises, the protocol’s reward curve reduces base consensus APR, pressuring yields for staking and liquid staking tokens (LSTs) like stETH, rETH, and cbETH; Source: Ethereum.org (Proof-of-stake rewards). During staking, validator balances are not freely transferable and require an exit and withdrawals to become liquid, temporarily constraining movable ETH supply; Source: Ethereum.org (Withdrawals and exits). For traders, the prolonged entry queue and lower base APR can shift LST pricing, yield spreads, and restaking returns, influencing basis and carry trades across LST/LRT markets; Sources: Ethereum.org (mechanics), Lido Finance documentation (APR methodology).

Bitcoin Mining Power Shift: U.S. Dominance Questioned as Post-Halving Economics Tighten and Global Buildouts Rise (BTC)
According to the source, the debate over U.S. dominance in Bitcoin mining has intensified as Donald J. Trump publicly urged to bring Bitcoin mining to America on 2024-06-11, stating that the remaining Bitcoin should be made in the USA, source: Donald J. Trump via Truth Social, 2024-06-11. Post-halving revenue pressure is material, as the block subsidy fell to 3.125 BTC at block 840000 on 2024-04-20 and miner hashprice dropped to record lows in May 2024, source: Bitcoin Core chain data and Luxor Hashrate Index, May 2024. Benchmark data showed the U.S. as the largest hashrate hub with approximately 37.8 percent share in early 2022, while major capacity has been deployed abroad since then including Bitdeer’s Bhutan expansion and Marathon’s Abu Dhabi joint venture, source: Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance Bitcoin Mining Map January 2022, Bitdeer press release May 2023, Marathon Digital press release May 2023. Policy uncertainty remains a headwind because a 30 percent excise tax on electricity used by digital asset mining was proposed in the U.S. Treasury FY2025 Greenbook but was not enacted in 2024, source: U.S. Department of the Treasury General Explanations of the Administration’s FY2025 Revenue Proposals March 2024. For traders, lower hashprice and higher power costs tend to compress margins and raise earnings volatility for U.S.-listed miners such as RIOT MARA and CLSK relative to BTC beta, source: Riot Platforms 2023 Form 10-K, Marathon Digital Q2 2024 shareholder materials, Luxor Hashrate Index 2024.
