Odaily Odaily reported that Bitwise released the "2026 Q3 Staking Report," showing that 40.2 million ETH have been staked, accounting for 33% of the total ETH supply, a record high. New staking this year has primarily come from institutions, including staking ETFs, corporate treasuries, and other large holders. The report also shows that staking rates for networks covered by Bitwise remain high, with Solana at 68%, Near at 45%, Hyperliquid at 44%, and Avalanche at 41%.

Additionally, Ethereum throughput increased by 73% year-over-year, and Avalanche transaction volume reached four times that of the same period last year; recently, Coinbase and Circle also staked 500,000 HYPE each on Hyperliquid, indicating that institutional staking is expanding to more emerging PoS networks.
