Since Ethereum abandoned Proof-of-Work (PoW) and switched to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) in September last year, some things have changed.
Fees have remained high, although they have come down, but most importantly, interest in staking has dropped.
Proof-of-Stake on Ethereum
Ethereum uses a special form of staking that requires a minimum of 32 ETH ($51,000) to be fixed on a node.
This makes validator nodes accessible only to large ETH holders, or at least out of reach for small holders, paving the way for Staking-as-a-Service.
Staking-as-a-Service is a service that large validator nodes, e.g. exchanges, offer to small holders who can leave their ETH with them to be used for staking on their nodes in exchange for a percentage of the revenue.
Thus, when talking about ETH staking, one must distinguish between the activity of validating blocks via PoS on validator nodes, and simply handing over one’s ETH to validator nodes.
