Ethereum’s proof-of-stake network faces a 44-day activation delay as staking participation surges from large deposits, with minimal withdrawals in the exit queue.
Ethereum’s proof-of-stake staking queue has grown to 2,554,732 ETH valued at $8.59 billion, extending the activation delay to around 44 days. The increase is driven largely by significant ETH deposits from BitMine. Withdrawals remain negligible, with only 64 ETH worth $215,000 in the exit queue and a brief two-minute delay. The data reflects strong validator demand and limited exits in the network.
