On February 8, according to the validator queue tracking website validatorqueue, the number of ETH waiting in line to join the Ethereum PoS network has been continuously increasing since December 26, 2025, now reporting 4,009,053 ETH, worth approximately $8.455 billion, with an estimated activation delay of about 69 days and 14 hours. This reflects sustained strong staking demand, mainly from Ethereum treasury companies and institutions like BitMine, which have recently staked a large amount of their ETH holdings. The Ethereum PoS network staking exit queue has been cleared, and currently there are no large numbers of users choosing to redeem ETH from staking, meaning stakers can now almost immediately withdraw their ETH.
