The much anticipated Ethereum 2 staking is getting close to launching and many people are wondering how much ETH they should own?
The amount of ETH one should own will depend solely on that person’s personal preference and whether or not they plan to stake ETH.
32 ETH Minimum for Staking
To stake ETH, you will be required to maintain a minimum of 32 ETH to run a validator. Staking Ethereum is said to yield rewards of anywhere from 4.5% to 10.5% and these figures will vary depending on the total amount of ETH you’re staking. The more ETH you stake, the smaller the percent reward gets.
This is to level the playing field and allow those with smaller staking balances to yield a worthwhile reward.
Passive Income Earnings
How much ETH you should hold will highly depend on how much passive income you want to earn from staking. Using an ethereum staking calculator, you can determine the average earnings from how much you wish to stake.
If you stake 1000 ETH, you can expect to earn around 80 ETH for the 1st year. While that is less than $20k right now, by the time you receive those rewards, ETH can be much more valuable.

High Demand, Low Supply
With Ethereum staking launching soon, demand is steadily increasing to own the minimum 32 ETH that’s required to run a validator. Many people are also increasing their ETH holding stacks in order to earn more passive income once staking is live.
Recently Paul Tudor Jones announced that he has invested in Crypto as a hedge against inflation. This may soon result in a surge of demand for Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies.
The surge in demand of new investors at the same time as Ethereum is launching staking can result in a bull run unlike anything we have seen.
I believe Ethereum will be the best performing digital asset for the next year.
