Over 30% of Ethereum's circulating supply is currently staked, amounting to a $72 billion long-term investment in the network. According to NS3.AI, this comes despite a 60% price drop since August. Investor confidence remains robust, with new tokens valued at $8 billion entering the staking queue, even as prominent figures such as Vitalik Buterin engage in significant token sales. Analysts and institutions, including Goldman Sachs, maintain optimistic forecasts, predicting strong recovery potential despite ongoing market challenges.
