Sygnum: Ethereum supply tightens, 45% of ETH is locked
According to ChainCatcher, citing TheDefiant, Sygnum pointed out in its Q1 2026 investment outlook that currently about 45% of ETH is either locked or difficult to sell, and the amount of ETH held by exchanges has decreased by 14.5% this quarter, continuing a multi-year downward trend.
Meanwhile, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) currently hold about 10% of the total ETH supply, while publicly listed companies hold over 6.1 million ETH, accounting for about 5% of the circulating supply. The report notes that the reduction in supply could lead to greater price volatility, but this will only occur if demand increases.
