<h2>📉 ETH Staking is Beginning to Wane&nbsp;</h2><p>Ethereum has seen a decrease in 165,000 of staked ETH over the past week.&nbsp;</p><p>This is significant, as it is the first time since the Beacon chain launched in May, that we have seen a net staking outflow of ETH across a 7 day timeframe.&nbsp;</p><p>Staking on Ethereum has experienced a meteoric rise this year, with crowded validator entry queues and daily Net Staking Inflows of ETH hitting around $100M.&nbsp;</p><p>The turning point was October 20, when the queue for validators waiting to enter the network cleared out entirely. Since then, demand for spinning up a new validator has slowed, which has led to a decrease in the staking ratio of the network of -0.09% over the past week (now at 23.53%).&nbsp;</p><p>Simultaneously, ETH has become a deflationary asset again. The drop off in validators entering the network slowed the rate of ETH issuance. This, coupled with a rise in network activity, has put Ethereum back into deflationary territory for the past two weeks. Today, the inflation rate of the network is sitting at -0.01%.&nbsp;</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stakingrewards.com/asset/ethereum-2-0">View the ETH Staking Profile</a></p><h2>&nbsp;📰 Weekly Briefing&nbsp;</h2><p>More top news this week from the world of staking…&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Chainlink upgrades staking mechanism with 45 million LINK pool&nbsp;</li><li>Animoca Brands Invests in TON Network, Becomes Largest Validator&nbsp;</li><li>Solana MEV developer Jito launching governance token&nbsp;</li><li>dYdX starts paying trading rewards for validators and stakers&nbsp;</li></ul><h2>👀 Sort by % Change Using Key Metrics&nbsp;</h2><p>DYOR on staking assets just got easier!&nbsp;</p><p>Get a clearer view of important risk and reward metrics for different Proof-of-Stake (PoS) assets in real time, by utilizing our new and improved sorting filters.&nbsp;</p><p>On our website, you can now sort PoS Assets by their % change across different risk &amp; reward metrics.&nbsp;</p><p>When sorting by metrics, you can use the toggle to sort by either the individual metrics value, or by their percentage change over time.
