Ethereum Staking Queue Surpasses Exit Queue with 832K ETH
Ethereum staking market sees a reversal as the number of ETH queued for staking has overtaken the exit queue. According to Ethereum Validator Queue data, 832,520 ETH are waiting to enter staking (approx. 14 days wait), compared to 821,485 ETH queued for exit (approx. 14 days). Staking entries have held steady, while exits declined over the past week.
Analysts note that exit queue holders are primarily OG investors cashing out near the $4,000 level, whereas those staking are mainly institutions continuing their ETH accumulation. With selling pressure easing and institutional demand stable, Ethereum staking dynamics point to a potential price rally.
However, macro factors remain key. Friday’s US non-farm payroll report and the upcoming Fed rate decision could trigger volatility. Traders should monitor both on-chain staking metrics and broader economic indicators. At press time, ETH traded at $4,416, down 1.45% in 24 hours.
Bullish
The reversal in Ethereum staking metrics—where 832K ETH are queued to stake versus 821K to exit—signals reduced selling pressure from OG holders and steady institutional demand. Historically, a rising staking queue often precedes price upticks as locked ETH lowers circulating supply. Although macro events like US non-farm payrolls and Fed rate decisions could introduce short-term volatility, the on-chain trend aligns with past bullish signals seen when staking demand outpaces exits. Traders may expect a near-term rally as the market digests reduced sell pressure and continued institutional accumulation.
