More than 5 million ETH has been sent to Ethereum 2.0’s deposit contract
The amount of ether (ETH) in the Ethereum 2.0 staking contract has broken above the 5 million mark, according to The Block’s Data Dashboard. The current amount in the contract is 5.2 million ETH, worth $13.6 billion. One ETH is currently priced at $2,630.
The Ethereum blockchain is undergoing a shift from a proof-of-work consensus mechanism to a proof-of-stake one, as part of the main Ethereum 2.0 upgrade. This will move the blockchain away from being reliant on miners to process transactions, instead allowing anyone who is willing to stake 32 ETH to process them instead — at the risk of losing their coins if they act maliciously.
According to the Beaconcha.in explorer, there are currently 152,000 validators (as opposed to miners) processing blocks on the proof-of-stake network. These validators have a roughly 99% success rate for blocks, with around 1% of blocks missed per day.
The deposit contract is where Ethereum users need to send their ether if they want to stake them on the network. The amount of ETH in the deposit contract represents the upper limit of the amount of funds that are being used for staking on the network.
Those staking ETH on the network can receive rewards of up to 23%. But there’s a catch; both the deposits and the rewards can only be withdrawn once phase 1.5 of the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade goes live, which is scheduled for 2022.

Cryptocurrency Ethereum extended gains to rise more than 8% on Monday to $2,587 but remained 40% below a record high of above $4,300 hit earlier this month.
At 1153 GMT, it was trading up 7.4% at $2,565.69.
Larger rival Bitcoin also gained in its wake with the world’s biggest and best-known cryptocurrency rising 3.7% to $36,977 in quiet trading with London and U.S. markets shut for holidays.
Bitcoin has been less volatile in recent days but is down by more than 35% this month, weighed by growing regulatory pressures on the sector.
Latest positioning data for the week ended May. 25 confirmed the trend with net short positions nearly doubling from the previous week, which was the smallest net short since late March last year.
In the latest salvo against the cryptocurrency, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said much of the trading was speculative. His remarks followed China’s recent efforts to crack down on mining activities. read more
It is currently trading at levels last seen in February and at roughly half its peak value of $65,000 seen in April.
