- Exit Queue Vanishes: Ethereum's exit queue has plummeted from 2.67 million ETH in September 2025 to zero, indicating a significant reduction in selling pressure and bolstering market confidence in ETH as a yield-bearing asset.
- Surge in Entry Demand: The entry queue has surged over fivefold in the past month to 2.6 million ETH, marking the highest level since July 2023, reflecting strong institutional demand for ETH staking yields.
- Stable Staking Yield: The current ETH staking yield stands at approximately 2.8%, attracting substantial institutional participation, which further strengthens ETH's supply-demand dynamics and potentially sets the stage for price increases in the coming months.
- Significant Staked Volume: Approximately 36.1 million ETH is currently staked, representing 29% of the total supply, while the total ETH in the staking contract has reached 77.85 million ETH, valued at around $256 billion, demonstrating robust market confidence in Ethereum.
