During the downward trend, a steady wave of institutional demand is building around the leading altcoin, putting it in the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few months, public companies have been accumulating the altcoin at a relentless pace. These companies are steadily increasing their holdings rather than slowing down in the face of market uncertainty, indicating a strong long-term belief in Ethereum\u2019s place in the developing digital economy.<\/p>\n<p>In a post on the X platform, Leon Waidmann, a market expert and research head at Lisk, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LeonWaidmann\/status\/2042211248440271175?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">revealed<\/a> that these public companies have scooped up approximately 7.4 million ETH in a period of 12 months. This figure represents a 6.1% of the total circulating supply of ETH.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-673847 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Leon-Waidmann-1.jpeg?w=640&amp;resize=640%2C416\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"640\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Leon-Waidmann-1.jpeg?w=1453 1453w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Leon-Waidmann-1.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Leon-Waidmann-1.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Leon-Waidmann-1.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Leon-Waidmann-1.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Leon-Waidmann-1.jpeg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/p>\n<p>Even after a massive wave of accumulation, these public companies are still buying ETH, persistently tightening available supply. Such a sustained accumulation by institutions strengthens the narrative of ETH as a strategic asset for corporate treasuries.<\/p>\n<p>As of May 2025, the cumulative <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/corporate-ethereum-demand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">ETH treasury holdings<\/a> of institutional and corporate players were sitting at near 0. However, by April 2026, over 6.5 million ETH have been scooped off the market, demonstrating ETH\u2019s position as a leading crypto asset with short and long-term potential.<\/p>\n<p>These ETH are being moved into treasury reserves, rather than cryptocurrency exchanges, suggesting a holding sentiment, especially for the long term. As a result, these coins are not available to sell without board approval, shareholder disclosure, and regulatory filings. In a market deep <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-supertrend-reversal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">in bearish conditions<\/a>, public companies\u2019 ETH holdings continue to climb, as they add more coins every single month.<\/p>\n<h2>ETH Staking Rises To Historical Levels<\/h2>\n<p>While institutional accumulation has spiked, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-staking-activity-surges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Ethereum staking activity<\/a> has also experienced a sharp uptick. After persistent staking activity, the number of ETH staked has now reached a new all-time high, reflecting growing participation in the network\u2019s proof-of-stake system.<\/p>\n<p>As seen in <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LeonWaidmann\/status\/2041847531827581361?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the chart<\/a>, over 32% of all ETH\u2019s entire supply is now locked away in staking contracts. In May 2021, the total number of staked ETH was 18 million, marking a 16% of its entire supply. Meanwhile, by March 2026, the figure had increased to a staggering 40 million ETH or 32% of its entire supply.<\/p>\n<p>Waidmann added that the 32% of ETH\u2019s total supply is <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-leaving-crypto-exchanges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">not present on cryptocurrency exchanges<\/a> or in wallets waiting to sell. Rather, they are stored in staking contracts and actively being used to secure the Ethereum network.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/8Kmfi7sI\/\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"2084\" height=\"1636\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a brief period of trading below the $2,000 mark, the Ethereum price has regained above this level as bullish momentum slowly returns to the market.
