Key Points:
  • 45% of Ethereum is now locked, impacting trade ease.
  • Over 6.1 million ETH held by publicly listed companies.
  • Exchange-traded funds account for about 10% of Ethereum supply.

Sygnum’s Q1 2026 investment outlook highlights ETH supply dynamics with 45% locked and a 14.5% decrease in exchange-held ETH, potentially affecting market volatility if demand increases.

Reduced ETH supply against potential demand rises could trigger price fluctuations, impacting investor strategies and market behavior in the cryptocurrency sector.

Key Developments, Impact, and Reactions

According to TheDefiant, Sygnum’s report highlights that approximately 45% of Ethereum is locked, and exchange holdings decreased by 14.5% this quarter. Publicly listed companies hold over 6.1 million ETH. Exchange-traded funds account for about 10% of the supply. If demand grows, price volatility is likely.

Fewer Ethereum holdings on exchanges suggest increased long-term investments. ETFs and public entities holding significant amounts also showcase institutions’ reliance on Ethereum’s future.
