The number of ETH waiting in line to join the Ethereum PoS network has exceeded 3,330,000, setting a new historical high

According to the validator queue tracking website validatorqueue, since December 26, 2025, the amount of ETH waiting to join the Ethereum PoS network has continued to grow, currently reported at 3,330,385 coins, setting a new historical high, valued at approximately $9.67 billion, with an expected activation delay of about 57 days and 20 hours.

This reflects a sustained strong demand for staking, mainly due to Ethereum treasury companies and institutions like BitMine recently staking large amounts of ETH they hold. The amount of ETH exiting the Ethereum PoS network queue is only 832 coins, valued at approximately $2.417 million, with an exit waiting time of about 21 minutes.
