Rising Ethereum 2.0 staking rates lock up ETH supply, creating scarcity that often boosts price via reduced selling pressure and rewards (~3.8% APY). It enhances ecosystem security/decentralization, attracting DeFi/dApp devs and cutting energy use by 99.95%. However, excessive staking (>20% supply) may reduce liquidity, causing short-term price stagnation.

Recent altcoin divergence in Sep 2025 intensifies amid altseason (Index at 80), with BTC dominance falling to 57% as capital rotates to ETH (+213M ETF inflows) and select alts like NEAR (+5.6%), XRP, SOL near ATHs. TOTAL3 nears $2.3T breakout, but 21M+ tokens dilute gains—quality (DeFi/AI) outperforms hype, risking 20% corrections for weak alts like PUMP (-8.7%). Bullish signal for Q4 rally to $8K ETH.

Crypto market shows bubble risks in 2025: Total cap surges to $3.5T+ post-U.S. elections, up 150% YoY, driven by ETF inflows and BTC at $100K+.

Yet, maturing DeFi (Lido $32B) suggests partial sustainability.
