🥩 10 Million ETH Staked

Over 10 million ETH is now staked on the Beacon Chain giving it tens of billions of economic security - and The Merge isn’t even here yet! It’s pretty crazy to see how far the Beacon Chain has come in just ~16 months especially given that there are currently no withdrawals of staked ETH (and there probably won’t be until Q1 2023). With The Merge rapidly approaching and an 80-90% issuance reduction coming with it, it’s very hard to be bearish on ETH.

Have a great week everyone!
