TL;DR Summary

Ethereum's Shanghai upgrade led to a record-breaking weekly inflow of 572k ETH deposits for staking, worth over $1 billion, mainly driven by institutional staking service providers and investors reinvesting rewards after withdrawal. The top five institutional-grade staking service providers staked a total of 235,330 ETH combined, worth around $450 million. The increased interest highlights that enabling withdrawals from Ethereum's proof-of-stake chain has significantly reduced the liquidity risk associated with locking up tokens. Investors also chose to restake a large part of the withdrawn rewards, reducing sell pressure and potentially a positive sign for ETH price.
