According to data from Staking Rewards, Terra Protocol’s LUNA token surpassed Ethereum (ETH) in terms of total value staked which currently sits at $30 billion.
Ethereum (ETH) is now in third place with $28.4 billion worth of staked tokens. Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) and Avalanche (AVAX) stand at fourth and fifth places with total staked value at $22.5 billion and $18.7 billion respectively. While Polkadot (DOT) and Binance Smart Chain (BNB Chain) have $12 billion and $7.8 billion.
Solana remains the most staked asset with over $40 billion worth of SOL staked on various platforms where stakers earn up to 5.86% in yields annually. Meanwhile, stakers of LUNA are earning over 6.98% in annual yields with some earning up to 41%.
Over the last week, LUNA has registered the highest gains at 38.8%. It's now the seventh-largest cryptocurrency by market cap surpassing even that of Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Avalanche (AVAX).
The price movement was triggered when the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) announced an over-the-counter sale of the LUNA cryptocurrency where the funds will go towards “establishing a Bitcoin-denominated Forex Reserve for UST”.
