ChainCatcher message, according to the validator queue tracking website validatorqueue data, since December 26, 2025, the number of ETH waiting in line to join the Ethereum PoS network has been continuously increasing, now reporting 3,125,624 coins, worth approximately $9.01 billion, with an estimated activation delay of about 54 days and 6 hours.
This reflects a sustained strong demand for staking, mainly from Ethereum treasury companies like BitMine and institutions that have recently staked a large amount of their ETH holdings. The Ethereum PoS network staking exit queue has been cleared, and currently there are no large numbers of users choosing to redeem ETH from staking, which means stakers can now almost immediately withdraw their ETH.
