Ethereum Validator Withdrawal Queue Drops to Zero, Staking Demand Rises

Odaily News: According to Ethereum Validator Queue monitoring, the Ethereum validator withdrawal queue has dropped to zero, a significant decline from its peak of 2.67 million Bitcoin in September 2025. Meanwhile, the entry queue has grown more than fivefold over the past month, reaching 2.6 million ETH, hitting a new high since July 2023. The current entry waiting time has extended to 45 days, while withdrawal processing takes only minutes. Leon Waitmann, Head of Research at Onchain Foundation, stated that once the entry queue converts to active validators, the staking rate will be pushed to a new historical high. Additionally, BitMine Immersion Technologies has staked over 1.25 million ETH, accounting for more than one-third of its total holdings. According to Santiment data, 77.85 million ETH, valued at $256 billion, has been deposited into the PoS deposit contract, representing 46.5% of the total supply.
