Ethereum exits the queue and then drops again, but the hot榜 “jump-up of 392%” is not a reading that is still happening right now. This figure has no attached baseline or statistical window, so it cannot be directly inferred as a new wave of exits.
What’s added this time is a subsequent snapshot from the same page. At 09:36 Beijing time on October 5, the Validator Queue (the page states the data is from beaconcha.in) shows 797,123 ETH, with an estimated wait of 13 days 20 hours; at 14:33 the page shows 786,275 ETH, down by 10,848 ETH (about 1.36%), and the wait estimate shortens to 13 days 16 hours. The page also notes that the data is delayed by 116 minutes relative to the time of reading, so it is not the on-chain instantaneous value at 14:33.
Using the 804,419 ETH recorded at 05:40 as an earlier reference, the page values total a decline of 18,144 ETH (about 2.25%). However, the refresh time gaps between observations are not consistent; this is only a comparison of snapshots presented by the data provider, and it does not mean the queue decreases at the same rate every hour. The processing rate listed on the current page is 256 ETH/epoch; the ETA for withdrawal will change as the queue and processing capacity change, so it cannot be treated as a determined withdrawal date.
The second boundary is that “exit” does not equal “withdrawal already received.” According to Ethereum’s official explanation, validators first complete the exit process and only then enter a withdrawable state; the funds still have to wait for the network to sweep them up. The page’s 7.5-day sweep delay is also only the current estimate. Queued ETH cannot be directly treated as funds already received, and it certainly cannot be equated with spot sell pressure.
To recalculate the hot榜’s 392%, you would need its denominator, start/end time period, and the queue definition being used; the page does not provide this information. Therefore, this article only discusses the subsequent changes in the absolute queued amount. Next, you need to see whether the next refresh from the same data source continues the decline, and to observe the progress of actual exits versus the sweeping of withdrawals. These snapshots alone also cannot explain the ETH price on their own. #ETH
At the network level, it also does not show which operator the holdings belong to, or the actual amount that has already been completed for withdrawal; that requires disclosures from the project team and additional verification using on-chain records.
