Ethereum News Today: P2P.org Hits 1.2M ETH Staked as Ethereum Surges Past $3.7K, U.S. Regulatory Shifts Spur 30% Inquiry Surge

P2P.org has reported significant growth in user engagement and staking activity during the ongoing Ethereum bull market, driven by increased demand for decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions. As of July 2025, the platform confirmed that 1.2 million ETH—valued at over $4 billion—is now staked across its services, reflecting strong adoption of its non-custodial staking infrastructure. This milestone coincides with Ethereum’s price surge, which pushed the token above $3,700 in July 2025, and a more favorable U.S. regulatory environment that has spurred both institutional and retail participation in crypto markets [1].

The surge in staking activity aligns with Ethereum’s post-merge transition to a proof-of-stake model, which has lowered energy consumption and attracted environmentally conscious investors. P2P.org noted a 30% increase in U.S.-based inquiries since July, prompting the company to establish its first American office and expand its workforce with five new roles. Alex Loktev, P2P.org’s Chief Revenue Officer, attributed the platform’s success to growing confidence in staking as a secure and user-friendly method for generating passive income on crypto assets. “The momentum in the U.S. regulatory landscape has been critical to our record-breaking user growth,” Loktev stated, emphasizing the company’s aim to become the primary staking provider for institutions, individuals, and governments [1].

Key metrics highlight the platform’s expanding influence in the DeFi ecosystem. Over the past 30 days, Ethereum staking’s total value locked (TVL) on P2P.org grew to 35,774,027 ETH, while the network added 19,540 new validators in July alone. User activity reached an all-time high, with approximately three million new wallet addresses joining the network during the same period. Staking inflows, which began rising in April, accelerated sharply after June, underscoring renewed interest from both retail and institutional clients [1].

The platform’s growth is further supported by broader market dynamics. Ethereum’s 1.08% 24-hour price increase in July 2025 [2] and recent regulatory developments, including clearer guidelines for crypto staking and the approval of Ethereum-based ETFs, have bolstered market confidence. These factors have created a favorable environment for staking platforms like P2P.org, which offers scalable solutions that allow users to maintain asset control while earning rewards. The company’s emphasis on accessibility and security has likely accelerated its adoption, particularly among retail investors seeking to optimize returns during Ethereum’s bull cycle [3].

While P2P.org’s achievements are notable, its future success will depend on sustaining Ethereum’s momentum and navigating a competitive DeFi landscape. The platform must continue to prioritize security, scalability, and user trust to maintain its position as a leading staking infrastructure provider. As Ethereum’s price and market conditions evolve, P2P.org’s ability to adapt to regulatory and technological shifts will be critical to long-term growth.
