The math behind Ethereum staking has changed considerably since the early post-Merge period. When only 15 million ETH was staked in early 2023, annual yields sat above 6%. With approximately 37 million ETH now committed to validators — nearly 30% of the entire circulating supply — those yields have compressed to around 3.3% on average. Staking rewards have compressed toward 3% as total staked ETH grew faster than issuance and fee income, and the structural dynamic driving that compression isn’t reversing — every market dip pushes more ETH into staking as holders seek yield while waiting for price recovery, which pushes yields lower still.
The Window That Matters
Bitcoin Everlight is currently in Phase 1 of its presale — a phase that runs for 6 days, with 472,500,000 tokens available at $0.0008 per token. For ETH stakers watching their yields compress toward 2–3% while their principal sits well below its 2025 highs, the timing of this presale window relative to where Ethereum staking currently stands makes for a direct comparison worth examining carefully.
