JPMorgan’s research report reveals that Ethereum has witnessed a surge in ETH staking following the Merge and Shanghai upgrades. However, this growth comes at a cost: increased centralization and reduced overall staking yields.

To combat centralization concerns, Lido has been actively adding more node operators to prevent a single operator from controlling too much staked ether.

Despite these efforts, Ethereum’s centralization poses risks, says in JPMorgan.

A concentration of liquidity providers or node operators could act as a single point of failure or become vulnerable to attacks or collusion, potentially creating an oligopoly that prioritizes their interests over the broader community.
