Ethereum Staking Queue Explodes Past $3.7B—First Time Overtaking Withdrawals Since July
Ethereum validators flood the network as staking demand hits unprecedented levels.
The Queue Flips
For the first time since July, more money wants in than out. The staking queue surges past $3.7 billion in value—overtaking withdrawal requests in a dramatic reversal of sentiment.
Network Pressure Builds
Validators pile into Ethereum's proof-of-stake mechanism, locking assets amid growing institutional confidence. The backlog signals robust demand despite typical finance folks still trying to explain what 'staking' actually means.
Bullish Momentum Returns
This isn't just renewed interest—it's capital voting with its wallet. While traditional markets chase quarterly earnings, crypto builds the next financial infrastructure one validator at a time.

Notably, this is the first time since July 22 that the entry requests have outpaced exits. Staking service provider Everstake also noted that the surge reflects the largest queues observed since 2023, when the Shanghai upgrade allowed staked ETH withdrawals.
As a result, ETH stakers must wait approximately 15 days before they can stake their assets on the chain.
Despite this shift, the total supply of staked ETH is expected to remain largely steady at above 36 million ETH because the entry and exit volumes nearly balance each other out.
