The validator queue for Ethereum has reversed, with the exit queue dropping to zero, indicating a waning enthusiasm for redeeming staked ETH. Meanwhile, the ETH entering the queue has increased to 2.6 million, showing a renewed surge in staking enthusiasm. Joining the queue requires a 45-day wait, while withdrawal takes only a few minutes, reflecting increased market confidence in Ethereum.

【Crypto World】An interesting reversal has occurred in the queue of Ethereum validators. The exit queue has dropped from a high of 2.68 million ETH in September last year to zero. What does this mean? No one is rushing to redeem staked ETH anymore.

On the other hand, the entry queue is much more active. It has increased fivefold over the past month, now accumulating to 2.6 million ETH, reaching a new high since July 2023. This indicates that staking enthusiasm has reignited.

However, queuing also requires patience—joining the queue takes 45 days. In contrast, withdrawing ETH is much faster, taking only a few minutes. The difference is clear: entering requires a long wait, while leaving is quick and easy. This also reflects a current market trend—more people are optimistic about Ethereum and willing to lock in funds to participate in validation.

Whoa, quitting the queue and resetting to zero? Now someone is really going all-in on Ethereum. Is the staking enthusiasm this intense?

Clear the exit queue? That's a pretty strong signal. It seems everyone really doesn't want to run away anymore.

2.6 million ETH queued to enter the market. The buying enthusiasm is really back. While others panic, we are locking in. That's the feeling, right?

The queue has been cleared upon exit, now that's really confidence. Who's in a hurry to run?

Queue exit resets to zero, but entering the queue skyrocketed by 2.6 million ETH? This really means putting the money on the line, no one wants to cut losses.
