After a three-month period of weaker demand, there is a notable signal for Ethereum: The staking queue has once again surpassed the exit queue. Data from validatorqueue reveal this shift in validator behavior.

Current Situation at a Glance

Approximately 734,300 ETH are currently in the entry queue waiting to be staked again. In contrast, about 343,200 ETH are in the exit queue. This means that the number of tokens ready for staking significantly exceeds those preparing to exit. The average exit waiting time is estimated at around 5 days and 23 hours.

What This Reversal Means

This rollover marks a turning point after a phase where validators preferred to reduce their positions. The return to higher staking demand indicates that confidence in Ethereum staking is increasing again, and more participants are willing to stake their ETH to secure the network.
