🚀 Ethereum's validator queue is nearly empty for the first time since the Shapella upgrade in April! With just 598 validators waiting to join, the expected waiting time has dropped to less than 5 hours, compared to a 45-day wait in June. This slowdown in staked ETH growth comes as staking rewards have decreased to around 3.5% from 5%-6% earlier this year. Ethereum's staking ratio has grown to over 22%, but still lags behind other popular proof-of-stake networks like Solana, Cardano, and Avalanche. What do you think this means for Ethereum's future?
