After ETH staking stagnated or even contracted in the second half of 2025, it has recently resumed its growth trend and just hit a new all-time high. This is a strong signal for service providers within the ecosystem—those offering staking infrastructure and risk management tools for institutional participants are now facing a new opportunity window. The return of institutional funds often begins with the recovery of large-scale staking, which usually indicates a restoration of confidence across the entire ecosystem. When the underlying participation reaches new heights, the demand for supporting applications and derivative services at the mid-tier level will also explode.
