The increase in the number of Ethereum in the staking contract is an indication that more people are staking the Ethereum cryptocurrency to earn rewards.

Generally, these investors are bullish about the future of the leading altcoin. As of April 28, 2021, there were a total of <span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">124,488</span> validators.

As more people commit their funds towards staking, the overall rewards will decrease for everyone. However, at the current prices, there is still more than enough incentive to explore this option.
