🚨 Ethereum Giants in 2026 — Who Controls the Network Now?
A major transformation is happening within the ecosystem #Ethereum 👀
Over 63% of the total supply has become locked in Staking contracts, reflecting Ethereum's transition from a speculative asset to institutional financial infrastructure.
📊 Key Figures:
• ETH2 Deposit contract holds 76.3M ETH worth $240 billion
• Binance is the largest holding platform with 4.1M ETH
• BlackRock controls 3.4M ETH through ETF
• 36.8M ETH locked in Staking at an all-time high
⚡ The most important message:
Institutions are increasing their presence, and the number of validators is approaching one million, enhancing network security and long-term investor confidence.
However… the concentration of liquidity in the hands of large entities means that volatility could become stronger when trends change.
Are we facing a complete maturation phase for Ethereum or the beginning of a new institutional cycle?
