According to PANews, the Ethereum (ETH) staking entry queue has dropped to its lowest level in four weeks, raising concerns about a potential large-scale sell-off due to an increase in the exit queue. However, the market has observed that ongoing purchases and holdings by Ethereum treasuries and spot ETH ETFs are mitigating the selling pressure. Many of these institutions have either already staked their assets or plan to do so to earn additional returns, which could lead to an increase in the staking entry queue in the coming weeks.
Another positive expectation is the potential launch of an ETH staking ETF. This development suggests that some investors might release liquidity and later re-enter related products to adjust their market exposure, rather than completely exiting the ETH market. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has set a final approval deadline for April 2026. However, analyst Axel Bitblaze anticipates that approval could be granted as early as October 2025. He noted, "BlackRock's ETH staking approval deadline is in October, and I believe approval is likely to occur."
