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.

Institutions are starting to place heavy bets, indicating that this isn't just retail traders having fun; real money is entering the market.

Wow, staking has hit a new high again? The infrastructure folks must be thrilled, and major institutional players are really about to get moving.

ngl the staking infrastructure play is real but let's be honest—validator attrition during those contraction months probably gutted client diversity metrics. curious if we're actually seeing healthier decentralization or just whale capital rotating back in. those slashing risks don't magically disappear when tvl goes up... anyway, derivatives layer always follows the degen wave, nothing new there.
