Ethereum in Q2 2025

The DeFi Report provides a comprehensive overview of the development of the Ethereum network in the last quarter, highlighting its positive factors and growth potential.

According to the report, Ethereum’s total value locked (TVL) jumped 33% compared to the previous quarter, reaching $63.4 billion. This growth was driven by significant increases in stablecoins and real-world assets (RWAs).

The supply of stablecoins reached $137.4 billion, with large institutional players such as BlackRock and PayPal accounting for the majority of Layer-1 TVL.

DeFi activity exploded, with active lending on Ethereum and L2s increasing 43% to $23.9 billion, led by Maple Finance (up 291%) and Euler Finance (up 174%).

ETH Staking Demand Reaches New Highs

In addition, ETH staking demand reached a new high of 35.6 million ETH in Q2, up 4% compared to the previous quarter.

The ratio of staked ETH to total circulating supply reached 29.5% (an all-time high), creating deflationary pressure.

Real-world assets (RWA) in Ethereum grew 48% to $7.5 billion, driven by US Treasury bonds (up 58%) and commodities (up 24%).

The report also noted institutional accumulation, with a 5,829% increase in the amount of ETH held in public treasuries during Q2.

This increase brings the total to 216,000 ETH from SharpLink Gaming and 100,000 ETH from BitDigital.

In terms of valuation, ETH’s Market Cap/TVL ratio recovered to 1.2 (up 19%), indicating promising price appreciation potential.

Impact of the GENIUS Act

The passing of the GENIUS Act, which is expected to happen this week, could trigger a significant spike in ETH prices.

If successful, this legislation will legalize stablecoins in the US, increasing liquidity and trust in the Ethereum ecosystem.

“TheGENIUS Act will bring trillions of stablecoins to Ethereum – all the biggest banks in the world will use Ethereum. If the GENIUS Act is passed, ETH will go up,” commented crypto investor, Ryan.

However, the report warns of risks from global regulations, particularly the EU’s MiCA framework, which will come into effect in Q3 2025.

This could affect non-compliant stablecoins, as seen with Sky’s 7% drop in USDS this quarter. This poses a challenge to the growth of stablecoins, but also opens up opportunities for Ethereum to strengthen its position if it remains compliant.
