<p>Contrary to some predictions of a large Ethereum sell-off after the <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/ethereums-shanghai-upgrade-spurs-record-breaking-inflow-of-eth-deposits-for-staking/">Shapella upgrade</a>, Ethereum staking has reached a new milestone. Over 19.3 million Ethereum have now been deposited into the Ethereum staking contract, indicating that investors have more trust in Ethereum after the successful upgrade.</p>
<p>This development, along with other key statistics, illustrates the growing popularity of Ethereum staking and what it means for the second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin.</p>
<h2 id="kraken-dominates-ethereum-staking-but-decentralized-providers-gain-traction">Kraken Dominates Ethereum Staking, but Decentralized Providers Gain Traction</h2>
<p>According to on-chain data from Nansen, Kraken and Coinbase are currently responsible for 78.3% of all principal withdrawals from <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/raiffeisenlandesbank-and-bitpanda-partner-to-bring-bitcoin-and-ethereum-to-european-traditional-banking-a-digital-investment-pioneer/">Ethereum staking</a>, with Kraken alone accounting for 64.1% of the total. This is due to the recent SEC crackdown on Kraken&#8217;s staking service, which has prompted many users to withdraw their Ethereum.</p>

<p>However, the data also shows that decentralized staking providers like Lido, Rocket Pool, and Ether.fi are gaining traction among users who are looking for alternatives to centralized exchanges.</p>
<p>The fact that more and more investors are staking their ETH and net deposits into staking are higher than withdrawals, <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/is-ethereum-founder-vitalik-buterin-responsible-for-the-crypto-crash-tron-founder-justin-sun-knows-the-reason/">indicates</a> that the confidence of investors in Ethereum remains strong. Despite regulatory challenges, such as the SEC&#8217;s lawsuit against Kraken, the high interest in Ethereum staking persists.</p>
<p>The new milestone of 19.3 million ETH staked underscores the growth potential of Ethereum, as more users realize the benefits of staking for long-term gains.</p>
