🚀𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝: 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐮𝐦 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫 📈 The Ethereum staking market has grown significantly, with 28% of all Ethereum currently staked. As of October 1, 2024, this translates to ~34.5 million ETH staked, valued at approximately USD$90.25 billion. #️⃣ Ethereum staking can be approached in two primary ways: native staking and liquid staking. While both native and liquid staking approaches provide opportunities to earn staking rewards, the fluctuating nature of these rewards has created a need for a standardized benchmark to measure staking yields across the ecosystem. This is where benchmark rates come into play. 📰 'Ethereum Staking Rate Benchmarks' is a primer on the emerging space of standardized measures for Ethereum staking rewards and related financial instruments such as Ethereum staking rate dated futures and Ethereum staking rate swaps. It covers some of the key Ethereum staking benchmarks available in the market, including the CF ETH Staking Reward Rate (ESRR), the MarketVector™ Figment Ethereum Staking Reward Reference Rate (STKR), the Compass Staking Yield Reference Index Ethereum (STYETH), CoinDesk Indices Composite Ether Staking Rate (CESR) and Lido Ethereum APR but also the upcoming Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR) framework from Treehouse.
