Obol Collective collaborated with Lido Finance and Kaiko Data to survey the biggest players in Ethereum staking.
Participants included some of the industry’s top staking custodians, node operators, fund managers, and ETF issuers. These entities are sophisticated operators with significant staked ETH holdings ranging from <$250M up to the $10-50B range.
Their responses led to four key takeaways:
1. Major players put security and regulatory concerns first.
2. DVs are emerging as Ethereum’s endgame staking infrastructure.
3. Institutions are set for staked ETH ETFs.
4. Institutional staking will help ETH win.
