Ethereum staking isn’t what it used to be
🔹Dec 2023 Staked ETH: ~23.5%
🔹Dec 2024 Staked ETH: 28.54% (+5% YoY)
More validators = APR dilution.
🔹Early 2024 APR: 4.3%
🔹Dec 2024 APR: 3.13%
As gas fees plummet and staking competition rises, staking rewards are heading toward a low-yield future.
The Pectra upgrade in March 2025 might improve staking efficiency, but unless:
🔹DeFi activity rebounds
🔹MEV profits recover
🔹High-value transactions return
Staking rewards will keep declining. At 3% APR, is solo Ethereum staking still worth it?
