According to TechFlow, as of October 16, 2024, Ethereum stakers' income showed a slow downward trend. Total income in September was $174 million, down about 30% from the peak of $247 million in March, reflecting the overall low sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.

Data shows that staker income has continued to decline since March, mainly due to reduced on-chain activity and reduced market enthusiasm. Only $35.5 million of the staking income in September came from transaction fees, highlighting the high reliance on block subsidies.

Despite the decline in income, the number of validators is still increasing. Ethereum currently has 1.09 million validators, indicating that the enthusiasm for participating in network security remains unabated.
