Data shows that the amount of Ethereum (ETH) staked has risen to a historic high, with approximately 41.7 million ETH currently in a staked state, accounting for about one-third of the total supply of Ethereum.Meanwhile, the price of ETH has performed weakly, falling from around $3,400 in January this year to about $1,900, but the scale of staking continues to grow. Market analysts believe that as the amount of Ethereum staked increases, the staking reward mechanism will not stop generating returns, with validators continuously receiving rewards and reinvesting part of their earnings into staking, further driving the expansion of staked ETH.The staking ratio of ETH continues to rise, indicating that the confidence of long-term holders and institutions in the security of the Ethereum network and the future development of its ecosystem is still strengthening, but a large amount of ETH entering a staked state may also affect market liquidity.

The Solana ecosystem lending protocol Jupiter launched Lend v2 on Monday, allowing deposit and borrowing positions to simultaneously act as trading liquidity, enabling users to earn lending interest and exchange fee sharing from the same funds.This product introduces optional Smart Collateral and Smart Debt features, which automatically pair assets to correlated liquidity pools. When traders route exchanges through these pools, deposit users' yields can be enhanced, and borrowing costs can be offset.In correlated pools, even if one stablecoin depegs, borrowers are still protected; however, collateral providers will bear the losses of any asset. Jupiter limits this design to stablecoin trading pairs and trading pairs composed of SOL and its staked versions to mitigate correlated risks.

The Token expenditure price index has fallen to 1.1635, continuing to decline since peaking at the end of May (the high of 2.0651 on May 28), with a cumulative drop of 43.7% over two months. This price has fallen below 1.2446 at the end of 2025, officially setting a new low for the year, marking the return of AI computing power pricing to the starting point of this expansion cycle.Note: The sale of Tokens is currently an important source of monetization for the AI industry, and its price is one of the signals measuring the current supply and demand situation for computing power. If the Token price remains high, cloud service providers will be motivated to purchase more GPUs, DRAM memory, and expand data centers; conversely, they need to be cautious of AI companies "downgrading consumption," which could become a leading indicator of the end of this hardware frenzy cycle. Token price data is sourced from top global AI models such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek.
