The validator exit queue for ETH has cleared, while 2.48 million ETH remains queued for staking with a 43-day wait time.
Ethereum’s validator exit queue has fallen to zero, eliminating the waiting period for unstaking ETH. The queue previously exceeded 2.6 million ETH in September 2025, reflecting heightened demand for withdrawals during that period.
Currently, 2.48 million ETH is queued to enter staking, with an estimated wait time of 43 days. Approximately 40.9 million ETH is staked, accounting for 33.55% of the total supply, distributed across roughly 885,000 active validators. The average annual percentage return for stakers stands at 2.64%.
The shift follows recent network adjustments, which have influenced validator dynamics and staking participation.
