According to BlockBeats news on August 14, as per the validator queue tracking site validatorqueue, there are currently 702,703 ETH reported in the exit queue of the Ethereum PoS network, worth about $3.3 billion. The number of ETH queued for exit has increased for three consecutive days, with a recent peak of 744,000 ETH, and the waiting time for exit is approximately 12 days and 5 hours.

Currently, approximately 220,266 ETH, worth about $1.03 billion, are queued to join the network, with an expected activation delay of about 3 days and 20 hours.

Previous reports indicated that this situation reflects two opposing forces in the market: on one hand, some stakers may choose to take profits after Ethereum rebounded over 160% since the low in April, leading to a surge in the exit queue; on the other hand, new deposits fueled by regulatory benefits and institutional demand are also driving up the entry queue, as publicly listed companies like SharpLink Gaming and BitMine Immersion increase their ETH holdings and stake.
