Pressure from regulators and Shapella's upgrading caused a decline in Ethereum staking depositsAccording to on-chain analytics provider Glassnode, Ethereum staking deposits have decreased slightly in recent weeks due to increased regulatory pressure and the upcoming Shapella upgrade on April 12.
Glassnode's data reveals that deposit activities are currently low, and financial regulators in the United States have been putting pressure on crypto. The Shapella hard fork will enable the phased release of ETH staked on the Beacon Chain, causing the dip in Ethereum staking deposits. As a result, major centralized exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken have lost a lot of market share to the liquid staking platform Lido.
Lido currently accounts for almost a third of the total amount of ETH staked, around $11 billion from the 5.9 million ETH on the platform. Lido takes a 10% commission and offers the potential of earning additional yields on DeFi platforms through its staking token Lido Staked ETH (stETH).
According to Ultrasound. Money, there are currently 18.1 million ETH staked in total, which represents 15% of the entire supply, and this will be slowly released for withdrawal in the weeks and months that follow the Shapella upgrade.
