EconomyEthereum’s institutional staking boom grows, but Lido’s share shrinks

Ethereum’s total staked ETH rose from 36.3 million to 43.1 million in the first half of 2026, while Lido captured only 5.7% of the network’s net growth. Its market share fell from 23.93% to 21.18% as institutions used other routes. Fee waivers may support adoption but limit immediate DAO income, and Lido’s automated buyback mechanism recorded a roughly $517,024 negative cumulative budget.
