Ethereum’s available supply in the market has declined as of April 3, 2026, alongside rising Ether deposits into the ETH2 Beacon Deposit Contract.
As of press time, total staked ETH had increased to 83 million, representing 68.77% of the altcoin’s circulating supply of 120.69 million units. The ETH2 staking contract therefore controls approximately $170 billion, according to Arkham Intelligence.
Deposits into the contract rose by 10.67% over the past three months. The article attributes the increase to faster staking by institutional investors, including Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) and spot ETFs, supported by regulatory clarity in the United States.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies, for example, announced earlier this week that it has staked 3,142,643 ETH, valued at around $6.3 billion.
In addition, BlackRock launched its staked Ethereum ETF, iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB). The ETF had 44,424.9 ETH at the time of publication, based on official data.
The ongoing supply squeeze driven by staking could affect both price dynamics and market liquidity. With more ETH removed from circulation through staking, reduced supply may influence price volatility and liquidity conditions.
The article also points to a linear increase in staked Ethereum year-to-date (YTD) as evidence of rising institutional demand. It links this trend to growing long-term conviction for ETH, catalyzed by regulatory clarity—specifically, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) clarification that protocol-level crypto staking does not constitute the offer or sale of a security.
Despite the increase in staked supply YTD, the article states that ETH has fallen more than 30% and was trading at about $2,055 at the time of publication, according to Finbold.
