Ethereum's staking activity surged in January 2026, reaching nearly 36 million ETH staked, which is almost 30% of the circulating supply, signaling strong long-term investor confidence. Major institutional actors like Tom Lee's Bitmine significantly increased their stakes, contributing to the network's security and stability. Analysts foresee a possible ETH price breakout above $3,450, with a target rally toward $4,000, supported by bullish technical patterns and on-chain fundamentals.
