Staked Ether (ETH) represented 36.32% of Ethereum’s supply in the latest published reading, up from 36.09% in an analysis dated Nov. 2, though the figures do not establish when the share changed.
The publication gives no exact observation time for the 36.32% figure. At 9:51 a.m. ET (14:51 UTC) Tuesday, Ether traded at $2,069.95, down 2.80% over 24 hours. The staking reading and the market move cover mismatched intervals, so they do not show whether the share rose during the price decline.
Validators use staked ETH to help secure Ethereum and receive network rewards. The supply percentage does not indicate how much ETH was purchased. Holders can trade liquid-staking tokens while the ETH backing those tokens remains staked.
A separate measure from Bitwise put active-validator holdings at 43.8 million ETH, or 35.9% of supply, at the end of September. Those quarter-end figures track active-validator balances, not the same reading period as the latest supply share; EconoTimes previously covered Bitwise’s figures.
