Staking

The HIP-4 proposal mandates a 500,000 HYPE token lock for six months, with slashing provisions for ambiguous or unresolved markets

The Stacks community approved SIP-045, enabling native Bitcoin staking and adjusting the STX emission schedule, with a hard fork targeting Bitcoin block 907,740.

The significant move by the digital asset manager locks a substantial portion of Ethereum, impacting market supply dynamics and reflecting deep institutional confidence in ETH's long-term value proposition.

A staggering 2.89 million ETH sits in a 50-day queue awaiting activation for staking, demonstrating overwhelming network conviction and a powerful supply-side squeeze as unstaking activity remains negligible.
