That is an unlikely scenario according to Berckmans, who sees the high centralization of staked ETH as a temporary issue. <\/p>\n<p>With time, the costs of entry to the staking business will be dropping due to the \u201cmaturity of open source tools and industry expertise as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly reduced risk profile,\u201d said Berckmans.
