Bitwise said in its "Q3 2026 Staking Report" that 40.2 million ETH has now been staked, equal to 33% of Ethereum’s total supply, the highest level on record. The report said most new staking this year has come from institutions, including staking ETFs, corporate treasuries and other large holders. It also showed high staking ratios across networks tracked by Bitwise, with Solana at 68%, Near at 45%, Hyperliquid at 44% and Avalanche at 41%. Beyond staking, the report said Ethereum throughput rose 73% year over year, while Avalanche transaction volume reached four times the level seen in the same period last year. Bitwise also pointed to recent activity on Hyperliquid, where Coinbase and Circle each staked 500,000 HYPE, as a sign that institutional staking is spreading to newer proof-of-stake networks.
