Ethereum today increased by 0.98%, trading at $3,437.38. The liquidity staking products within the ecosystem are performing steadily. From an hourly perspective, staking derivatives reached a peak of $3,485.55 in the early morning, then retraced to $3,419.38 and maintained oscillation at that level.

The performance of such staking products often closely follows the main coin's trend. Against the backdrop of Ethereum itself rising by 1.06%, staking derivatives basically synchronized with a 0.98% increase, indicating good stability and market confidence. There was a de-anchoring risk in October 2025 due to a liquidation event in a lending protocol, but that is a thing of the past, and no abnormal fluctuations have occurred recently.

Regarding the choice of staking products, these derivatives have an advantage over simply holding ETH—they reflect staking yields through price appreciation. Ethereum itself is priced at $3,166, while these products are quoted at $3,437. The difference represents the yield mechanism. Compared to other staking schemes, this approach allows you to earn staking rewards without sacrificing liquidity, and you can find sufficient trading counterparts on some centralized exchanges and public chains.

Currently, the total crypto market cap is growing, and Ethereum spot ETFs are also attracting funds. In this environment, holding staking derivatives still makes sense. No obvious risk signals are seen from a technical perspective, and from a long-term allocation standpoint, there are no major issues.

Staking derivatives have been quite stable this round, but the $271 spread sounds a bit outrageous. Is it really that easy to arbitrage? --- ETH is bouncing around $3400 again. These pegged products tend to follow the trend closely, at least indicating that no one is疯狂抛售. --- Liquidity staking is reliable, but I still trust holding directly more. Derivative tricks are too many. --- Wait, is the difference between 3166 and 3437 really all profit? Or is this price itself inflated? --- Wow, last October, the de-pegging gave me a cold sweat, and now they dare to push staking derivatives again. They really have guts. --- Now everything needs liquidity. Who still wants to lock up their coins... I understand this logic, but what about the risks? --- The stable performance of staking products is just because nothing has gone wrong. If something does happen, it will turn black and green.

Staking derivatives are stable and reliable, but can you really cash out the spread? --- Once again, the market has good stability and confidence. Haven't we learned enough from the October last year? --- Liquidity is decent, but how much of the fee can eat into the returns? --- Spot ETF is draining, staking products follow the trend, a typical herd mentality. --- Anchoring is good, but I'm worried about another round of liquidation waves. --- The spread looks good on paper, but what about in actual operation? Is the counterparty deep enough? --- Instead of staking derivatives, it's better to go solo staking directly. It's more troublesome but more reassuring. --- Long-term allocation is fine, as long as you don't buy the dip at the high point. --- It sounds good, but ultimately it depends on who can survive to the next bull market. --- The de-anchoring risk is gone, but what about counterparty risk? Can't ignore it.

The stability of the staking product is indeed good, but the price difference isn't particularly impressive either. Wait, you're only bringing up October 2025 now? Why are you still dwelling on old issues? With good liquidity, just jump in; after all, they are rising together. Funds have already been absorbed, so don't let some black swan event happen later. How does staking yield compare to directly bottoming out ETH? Feels like there's not much difference. It looks like the peg is stable, but I still prefer to hold coins and wait, after all, who can be sure in the long run?

Price difference of $271, this return rate is pretty good, much better than just HODLing --- The de-pegging incident was terrifying, but now it looks like stability has truly returned --- Strong liquidity is real, this is the correct way to stake --- ETF is bleeding investors, retail investors still have to rely on this to make up for the shrinkage --- Talking about 2025 again, what era are we in? That's long gone --- Is a 1% increase worth writing about? The market is really dull --- Peg stability ≠ no problems will occur later, be cautious, brother --- Is this level of increase considered stable performance? I think it's lukewarm --- Staking yields look attractive, but whether the trading pair is sufficient is the key --- Once de-pegged, now daring to promote this, where has the risk awareness gone

Staking derivatives are quite closely followed, the de-pegging wave has already passed, now it's stable and steady --- The spread is over 200, just this yield potential makes it worth jumping in, and the liquidity is pretty good --- ETF's increased market cap from vamping is indeed a good window of opportunity --- Good pegging is great, but still need to keep an eye on lending, don't want another liquidation storm --- Instead of holding naked ETH, this thing is definitely more attractive, it can earn and move --- Small fluctuations are very comfortable, no big waves actually give a sense of security --- I prefer the staking yield approach, much more reliable than just waiting for the price to rise --- 3437 vs 3166, the difference is obvious, but the real question is, is the liquidity really enough? --- It looks like a risk-free signal, but crypto market risk signals have always been lagging, right? --- The entry of spot ETFs has indeed changed the overall sentiment, holding staking assets at this time is still reasonable

This de-pegging event was really scary, but fortunately it stabilized, or else there would be another wave of liquidations. Staking yields are indeed attractive, and there's no need to worry about liquidity, much better than just holding coins. A 0.98% increase is a bit small; continue to watch the performance of the future. Spot ETF is attracting money, indicating that institutions are taking it seriously. Can this price difference space continue to expand? It feels a bit conservative. As long as the peg is stable, that's enough; mainly betting on the big market trend ahead. But still, be cautious; that previous lesson was very deep.

Staking products are so stable in their anchoring, much better than the liquidation event last year. Liquidity is also good; this is what playing derivatives should look like. Spot ETF continues to drain, and there shouldn't be much risk in the short term. The only thing is that the price difference seems a bit large, 3437 and 3166... need to understand the underlying logic clearly before jumping in. If the hourly chart breaks 3485, it's time to run; that's how I see it.
