๐$ETH staking exit queue โ 2026 high
Peak: ~851,000 ETH on Oct. 2, 2026
Current: ~786,000 ETH still queued
Wait: ~14 days
Value: >$2 billion
The surge was largely linked to MetaMask precautionarily withdrawing validators after a staking-infrastructure security incident. CCoinDesk+1
The important point: 851K ETH in the exit queue doesn't mean 851K ETH is immediately being sold. Ethereum throttles validator exits, so the ETH becomes liquid gradually.
