Proof-of-Stake selects validators based on locked tokens instead of mining power. It powers Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana, offering lower energy use and easier participation, while still facing centralization and fairness concerns.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies has amassed $13.3 billion worth of Ethereum, becoming the largest corporate holder and aiming to control 5% of total supply. The move is seen as a bullish signal for ETH as a reserve asset, with market eyes on its stabilizing effect.
Sonic is overhauling its proof-of-stake design to avoid signature aggregation, making future migration to quantum-resistant cryptography less disruptive and potentially less costly.
The Ethereum Foundation deposited 45,034 ETH ($93 million) on April 3, 2026, bringing its cumulative staked ETH to nearly 69,500. This puts the foundation within striking distance of its 70,000 ETH staking target, which is expected to generate $3.9–$5.4 million annually in staking rewards.
The Ethereum Foundation staked roughly 45,034 ETH ($93M) on April 3, bringing total staked to nearly 69,500 ETH, closing in on its 70,000 ETH target. The initiative is expected to generate $3.9-$5.4M annually and signals confidence in proof-of-stake.
More than 100 days after the Merge, Ethereum’s issuance rate has dropped sharply under proof-of-stake, while the burn mechanism continues to constrain supply growth.
Restaking allows staked crypto assets to secure multiple services at once, potentially increasing yield and extending shared security across blockchain networks, while introducing new slashing and smart contract risks.
Restaking lets staked crypto secure multiple protocols at once, improving capital efficiency and reward potential while introducing additional slashing, smart contract, and centralization risks.
