Unstaking on Ethereum now requires no added delay beyond the protocol’s minimum processing time, while about 2.48 million ETH remains in the entry queue with an estimated 43-day wait.
Ethereum’s validator withdrawal queue has fallen to zero, meaning staked ETH can now be unstaked without any delay beyond the protocol’s minimum processing time. The queue had exceeded 2.6 million ETH in September 2025, but has since been fully cleared. At the same time, about 2.48 million ETH is waiting to be newly staked, with the estimated entry queue standing at around 43 days. Staked ETH now totals about 40.9 million ETH, or 33.55% of supply, showing that withdrawal pressure has eased even as demand to join Ethereum’s validator set remains elevated.
