  2. Ethereum Staking Reaches All-Time High of 43.8M ETH Amid Declining Yields — this brief

Ethereum'in üçüncü çeyrek sonunda staking için kilitli ETH miktarı, Bitwise'ın raporuna göre tarihsel bir zirve olan 43.8 milyon ETH'ye ulaştı. Bu rakam, Ethereum arzının yaklaşık %36'ına karşılık gelmektedir. Aynı dönemde, temel proof-of-stake ağlarında staking getirileri düşerek 2.63% seviyesine geriledi.

Staking getirilerindeki düşüşe rağmen, Solana, Hyperliquid ve Robinhood Chain gibi platformlarda tokenleştirilmiş hisse senetleri ve geleneksel piyasa işlemleri önemli bir artış gösterdi. Bu durum, kripto para aktivitesindeki bir sonraki dalganın nereden geleceğine dair ipuçları sunuyor.

The Block'ın raporuna göre, Solana staking miktarı da 440.5 milyon SOL'a ulaşarak bir zirveye çıktı. Bu gelişme, staking uygulamasının Ethereum'dan daha geniş bir kripto para ekosistemine yayıldığını gösteriyor.

DeFiLlama verilerine göre, Hyperliquid'ın kilitli toplam değeri (TVL) 1.8 milyar dolar, Robinhood'ınki ise 653.13 milyon dolar (-3.1% 7 günlük değişim) seviyesinde gerçekleşti. Bu rakamlar, tokenleştirilmiş varlıkların popülerliğinin arttığını doğruluyor.

Genel kripto para piyasası değeri 2.87 trilyon dolar seviyesinde ve piyasa genel olarak yükseliş trendinde. Bitcoin 24 saatte %1.16, Ethereum ise %0.65 değer kazandı. Fear & Greed endeksi 63 seviyesinde, yani 'Greed' (açgözlülük) bölgesinde seyrediyor.
