Ethereum staking inflows surged during the past two weeks, signaling renewed investor confidence across the cryptocurrency market. CryptoQuant contributors reported that Ethereum staking inflows increased from 28,202 on April 22 to 143,980 by May 5.
TradingView data showed ETH trading near $2,360 during the increase. CryptoQuant analysts said rising staking inflows reflected stronger long-term confidence among Ethereum investors.
Ethereum Staking Inflow Reduces Liquid Supply
Analyst CryptoOnchain at CryptoQuant stated that rising staking participation increases the amount of Ethereum’s liquid exchanges available. CryptoOnchain explained that the act of staking ETH removes tradable coins from circulation therefore it lowers possible sell pressure.
CryptoOnchain also stated that Ethereum staking inflows have recently reached their highest levels since March 2024. The analyst said ongoing demand will likely help support Ethereum’s medium-term market structure.
The analyst stated that Ethereum staking inflows are still one of the most reliable indicators for long-term accumulation trends. Rising staking inflows and activity strengthen validator participation across Ethereum’s decentralized proof-of-stake (PoS) ecosystem.
The data suggests there is renewed institutional and retail interest in spite of the recent market consolidation. Recent Ethereum staking inflows indicate improved confidence in both spot and derivative markets.
CryptoOnchain said that rising staking activity often represents stronger long-term conviction from investors.

Momentum Improves Across Derivatives Markets
CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha reported improvements in Ethereum derivatives momentum across Binance futures markets. Taha stated that the Binance Ethereum Futures Power 30D Change Index returned to positive territory and currently stands at 0.026.
Amr Taha stated that Ethereum held above the $2,300 range when the index stood at 0.026. However, he emphasized that current momentum does not reflect historically overheated market conditions.
He compared the current setup to October 2023, when Ethereum started its first stage of recovery, then a larger rally followed. Amr Taha also indicated that previous overheated futures conditions have led to large ETH price drops.
According to the analyst, Ethereum had historically overheated futures conditions in March 2024, December 2024, and August 2025. Those events led to ETH price declines ranging from 44% to 61%.
Amr Taha stated that current futures conditions appear less extreme than previously seen, thus decreasing risk related to excessive leverage positions. Data from CoinGlass shows that Ethereum derivatives volume remained high alongside its open interest.
Amr Taha said improving derivatives sentiment can support continued Ethereum recovery as momentum continues to improve.
