At the beginning of June 2026, the crypto market witnessed a noteworthy data milestone. According to the latest figures from Gate, the platform’s ETH mining (staking) product has set new all-time highs for total staked ETH for two consecutive days, reaching 195,700 ETH as of June 4. The reference annual yield stands at 4.15%.
This milestone reflects Gate’s growing user recognition in the Ethereum staking sector. Just a week earlier in late May, Gate’s total ETH staked was at 179,300. In only a few days, over 16,000 ETH flowed into the staking pool, marking a significant acceleration in growth.
What’s even more remarkable is that Gate’s ETH staking total didn’t jump in a single leap—it has climbed steadily. From 187,162 ETH on May 25, to 194,600 ETH on June 2, and then breaking through 195,700 ETH on June 3, Gate has set new staking records for two consecutive days.
Ethereum Ecosystem Macro Context: Staking Rate Surpasses 32%
Gate’s staking surge isn’t an isolated event—it’s closely aligned with broader macro trends in the Ethereum ecosystem. According to the latest on-chain data, Ethereum’s network-wide staking rate has reached a historic high of 32.4%, with approximately 39.2 million ETH (worth about $80 billion at current prices) locked in validator nodes, representing nearly one-third of total supply.
What does this mean? Since Ethereum transitioned from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS), ETH has undergone a fundamental transformation—from a purely "transactional asset" to a "productive asset" capable of generating stable yield. As staking hits new highs, nearly one-third of circulating ETH has been removed from active market liquidity, securing the network and providing ongoing returns.
Against this backdrop, Gate’s rising ETH staking volume demonstrates both the platform’s product strength and growing user confidence in Ethereum’s long-term prospects.
GTETH: The Core Mechanism for Unlocking Liquidity
When users stake ETH, they receive an equivalent amount of GTETH—the core innovation behind Gate’s ETH staking product. Stakers don’t lose asset liquidity after locking ETH; GTETH can be freely traded, used as collateral, or invested within the Gate ecosystem. This allows users to earn stable staking rewards while retaining flexibility in asset allocation.
With the current total staked ETH at 195,700, the staking pool generates approximately 22.2 ETH in daily rewards (based on a 4.15% annualized rate). Gate employs an automatic daily payout mechanism, so users receive rewards directly in their accounts without manual claims, greatly lowering the operational barrier.
Multi-Asset Staking: A Diversified Yield Matrix Beyond ETH
In addition to the surging ETH staking product, Gate offers a wide range of multi-asset staking options, building a yield matrix across mainstream assets. As of June 4, the reference annual yields for each asset are:
| Asset | Reference Annual Yield |
|---|---|
| SOL | 8.50% |
| USDT | 4.62% |
| BTC | 2.67% |
| GUSD | 3.00% |
SOL staking deserves special attention. Previous data shows Gate’s total SOL staked reached 514,800 SOL, and at certain times, the reference annual yield soared to 16%. Even in today’s market, an 8.50% annual yield remains highly competitive among mainstream staking assets.
For BTC staking, as of June 3, Gate’s BTC mining product had a total staked volume of 2,799 BTC. The platform uses a tiered yield structure—smaller stakes earn higher bonus rewards, with an overall annual yield of about 2.67%, balancing broad accessibility and incentives.
On the stablecoin front, GUSD is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar on Gate, with yields sourced from Gate ecosystem revenue and high-quality assets like government bond RWAs. USDT staking connects to protocols such as AAVE-Plasma, with a minimum investment of just 1 USDT.
Summary
As of June 4, 2026, Gate’s ETH staking and mining product has reached a total of 195,700 ETH, breaking all-time records for two consecutive days. The reference annual yield is 4.15%. This growth resonates with the broader trend of Ethereum’s network staking rate surpassing 32.4%, signaling ETH’s accelerated shift from a transactional asset to a yield-generating asset.
GTETH’s liquidity release mechanism enables users to earn rewards while keeping their assets active, and the multi-asset staking matrix offers diverse allocation options for investors with varying risk preferences. Amid ongoing global crypto market volatility, ETH staking is becoming a robust choice for more long-term investors. As the Ethereum ecosystem evolves and the PoS mechanism continues to improve, Gate’s staking products are poised to deliver ongoing value in this wave.
