Ethereum posts best Q3 since 2016 with 67.57% gain
- —ETH trades at $2,716.86, up 5.7% in 24 hours
- —Q3 gain of 67.57% is the strongest since 2016
- —ETH lost 29% in Q1 and 25% in Q2 2026
- —Validator exit queue hit 132,832 ETH, a three-month high
Why it matters: A sustained break above $2,500 could open the way to $3,200–3,600, but the growing validator exit queue signals potential selling pressure.
