The Ethereum staking ecosystem continues to expand, with the total staked amount surpassing $118.8 billion, reaching a new all-time high. As of now, over 36 million ETH are locked in staking, which means nearly 30% of the circulating ETH are participating in the staking ecosystem. This figure reflects that more and more participants are optimistic about long-term holding and earning staking rewards, while also indicating that the security and decentralization of the Ethereum network are being continuously strengthened. With more ecological applications and staking mechanisms being improved, this number has the potential to continue growing.

Wow, 30% of the circulating supply is locked up. That shows a lot of confidence. Are people foolish and have too much money? But indeed, staking this wave is a solid move. Wait, so many people are betting on the future... Could there be a sudden crash someday? $118.8 billion, it might all disappear one day. Staking yields are really attractive, just worried about liquidity issues. These numbers are a bit scary, feeling a bit overheated. Long-term holders are probably making a killing, we retail investors can only watch. It's good to be optimistic, but there are very few who dare to go all in.

118.8 billion dollars in staking, why am I still staying up late to save Gwei, life is really absurd Staring at the gas tracker late at night, watching others lie down and earn staking rewards, I feel envious 30% of ETH is staked? Then my little bit of idle ETH seems even cheaper haha Expanding the staking ecosystem is a good thing, but my gas wars never seem to end 36 million ETH are locked, liquidity is becoming tighter, and the cost of contract interactions must rise It's another story of others steadily earning coins, while I'm still debating whether the cross-chain transaction fees are worth it Talking about security enhancements, I only care if the staking APY has decreased, be more realistic

Are 30% of ETH staked? Bro, this number sounds like a bear market tactic. I was also locked in like this back in the day.

A 30% staking rate looks good, but we need to take a closer look at the concentration issue behind it.

Here are some comments with different styles: 1. $118.8 billion, that's a pretty aggressive number. Staking has really become the mainstream play. 2. 30% of the circulating supply is staked? It seems the stability of the Ethereum ecosystem has really improved. 3. Every time I see these numbers, I hesitate to make a move, afraid of missing out. 4. Staking yields look attractive, but I'm worried about too many variables later on. 5. With a total of 36 million tokens... it feels like the big players have already jumped in. 6. This growth rate is quite rapid; I wonder how long it can last. 7. The staking ecosystem is expanding, but what about liquidity? 8. It’s hitting new highs again. When will this end?

30% of the circulating supply locked, this number is a bit crazy... but thinking about it, it's understandable, staking yields are really attractive.

Wow, 36 million ETH are directly locked, accounting for 30% of the circulating supply... This number looks quite impressive. Can it really keep increasing in the future?
