Ethereum is a bit different this time: the number of validators leaving the queue surged by about 392% in a short period, with the peak close to 850,000 ETH, and the queue time once approached 14.8 days. More importantly, about 523,000 ETH is related to the preemptive exits following the breach of MetaMask Staking’s infrastructure, so this time you can’t simply interpret it as “whales collectively running away.”
For price action, a longer exit queue is itself a potential sell-pressure signal—but these ETH won’t all hit the market at once; exits are subject to a queueing mechanism. What’s really worth watching is whether, after the batch of exits completes around October 7, the queue drops quickly again and whether ETH spot can continue to hold around 2700.
Do you think this is just a short-term disruption caused by a security incident, or has the ETH holder structure truly started to loosen?
