ChainCatcher news, according to decrypt, it is expected that in the coming year, Ethereum's staking yields will surpass U.S. interest rates, which may drive up Ethereum prices and attract investor attention. Due to the decline in U.S. interest rates and the increase in Ethereum transaction fees, the changing market dynamics are expected to narrow the gap between Ethereum staking yields and traditional risk-free rates in the coming quarters. Currently, Ethereum staking yields are about 3.2%.FalconX analysis points out that if the Federal Reserve continues to cut interest rates, staking yields are expected to turn positive by mid-2025, thereby enhancing their attractiveness. Although transaction fees are still lower than the peak levels during previous bull markets, the recent increase reflects a rise in blockchain activity, which may further boost staking yields. Institutional investors tend to seek staking yields through regulated products, and the launch of related products still awaits regulatory approval.
