Ethereum staking queue outpaces withdrawal queue by 13.6x
- —Entry queue for staking is about 2.48 million ETH, with a 43-45 day wait
- —In May 2026 the entry queue peaked at ~3.4 million ETH
- —In September 2025 the withdrawal queue was ~2.67 million ETH, then fell by more than 99.9%
- —Total staked is ~41 million ETH across 885,000-900,000 validators
Why it matters: Locking up a third of ETH supply reduces free liquidity and lowers the risk of a sudden influx of coins hitting the market.
