IOTA staking is sitting at an 11% median APY with 48.8% of the total supply locked. Total staked grew by 0.20% this week.

Key metrics

Security stays steady with a Nakamoto Coefficient of 5. This means it takes 5 validators to hit 33% control. It's a tight margin, so watch the validator concentration.

What changed

Total staked rose 0.20% week-over-week. Even though the IOTA price dropped 7.63% from $0.0359 to $0.0331, people aren't rushing to unstake. Yields are holding steady because the median APY only shifted -0.02%.

The downside is the price action. You're earning more IOTA, but each IOTA is worth less in USD terms right now. If the price keeps sliding, those 11% rewards won't feel like much.
