Gate Research Institute: Ethereum Staking Demand Significantly Rebounds | AIA Token Surges Over 200% in a Single Day
Gate Research Institute Daily Report: On January 21, the overall crypto market retreated and consolidated, with risk appetite significantly cooling down. BTC and ETH moved downward in tandem under pressure, with BTC breaking below the short-term moving average system and falling back to around $89,000. ETH's decline was relatively larger, remaining in a weak recovery phase, dragging down the mainstream assets and the index. In terms of hotspots, mid-cap assets such as AIA, MBG, and ARC performed strongly against the trend amid narratives around AI Agents, traditional finance on-chain, and developer tools, showing significant structural differentiation. On the structural signals, Ethereum's staking demand continued to warm, with unstaking pressure easing and the staking ratio approaching 30%; meanwhile, Solana's staking rate rose to 68.8%, hitting a new high, indicating that some public chain ecosystems are still attracting medium- and long-term capital allocation. However, whether the overall market can stabilize still depends on emotional recovery and the return of incremental funds.
