The total value locked (TVL) in the EigenLayer Ethereum restaking protocol has recently surpassed $15 billion, indicating significant growth in the ecosystem. This milestone comes despite predictions that yields might decline sharply. Concurrently, ZircuitL2, another Ethereum-based project, has seen its TVL exceed $2 billion. These developments occur as Ethereum faces challenges, including record outflows and a potential rejection of ETH ETFs by regulators. Notably, Lido Finance has experienced substantial outflows, totaling nearly 456,000, with competing platforms like EtherFi gaining market share. Additionally, Ethereum's inflation rate stands at +0.385% per year.
