The Ethereum staking ecosystem is experiencing new changes. Currently, the number of ETH waiting in line to join the PoS network has reached 2.17 million, with a total value of approximately $6.74 billion. These funds are expected to wait about 37 days and 16 hours to be activated. Meanwhile, approximately 11,063 ETH have exited from the validator queue, worth about $34.35 million, with an exit time of around 4 hours and 37 minutes. This data reflects the continued high level of participation in the Ethereum staking market and also demonstrates the liquidity situation within the validator ecosystem. As more funds flow into the PoS network, the pressure on the activation queue continues to increase, which is a concern for participants who want to become validators quickly.

Waiting 37 days? Nah, that's a bit outrageous. The queue is way too long.

$6.74 billion stuck in the queue, this is a typical false prosperity created by supply constraints. The distribution of chips shows that retail investors are already starting to feel anxious. A 37-day waiting period, in simple terms, is the critical point where the gambling psychology fails. How many can endure until activation? An increase in entry queue does not equal genuine ecosystem demand; instead, it indicates that the sentiment has already overheated. I am bearish on this staking frenzy. Withdrawal takes just over 4 hours, while entering takes 37 days. This asymmetry itself is a risk signal. The pattern has formed, but the trend is reversing. Don't be fooled by the high number of entrants; the key is the retention rate. It's likely another wave of FOMO investment driven by retail investors.

Waiting 37 days to activate? Damn, this queue is way too long, it feels like queueing for paper review. --- 217 million coins just sitting there doing nothing? Might as well withdraw now, anyway, it's a hassle to keep entering and exiting. --- Someone gets on every day, but no one gets off quickly, that's the real congestion. --- A $6.74 billion cake, just to earn a little more interest? Is it worth it, everyone? --- Waiting over 5 weeks for a validator to be assigned, and the market must be volatile during this period, truly a gambler's mentality. --- It only takes about 4 hours to leave the queue, but entering takes 37 days? This ETH design is a bit ridiculous.

Waiting 37 days to activate? The queue length is getting more and more exaggerated. Oh my god, $6.74 billion in line... What are they playing at? By the way, what are those who are eager to exit thinking? They left after just over four hours, is it because the returns didn't meet expectations? The high staking enthusiasm isn't necessarily a good thing; it feels like it's becoming a tool to manipulate the market. The Ethereum validator queue is clogged like this; maybe it's time to optimize the activation mechanism. Too many people are betting that ETH will rise, haha.

37 days? Bro, that's too crazy. It's been almost a month and a half, and I still have to queue. --- So many people entering, it feels like the staking ecosystem is really hot. --- Withdrawing takes just over 4 hours? But it takes 37 days to enter? The difference is just too big. --- 67 billion waiting in line, the pressure is indeed extraordinary. --- I'm still hesitating whether to stake or not. Seeing these numbers makes me more conflicted. --- Staking is definitely a necessity, but this waiting time is a bit discouraging. --- The inflow is so fierce, no wonder the queue is so congested. --- Really want to become a validator quickly, but now I have to wait several weeks, it's a bit annoying. --- The data looks hot, but a 37-day wait is really torturous. --- ETH staking is still attractive here, although you have to queue.

Waiting 37 days?? Queuing here to buy Moutai... Waiting with just $6.7 billion, that's really something --- Hmm, it takes 37 days to enter, but only 4 hours to exit. The gap is quite big --- If I knew staking was this intense, I wouldn't have come. The line is so long... --- Exiting so quickly, entering so slowly, really a psychological test --- Why not optimize the activation mechanism? The efficiency is really disappointing --- $6.7 billion in the queue soaking up the sun, that's a bit outrageous --- I just want to know if I'll lose everything after waiting 37 days

37 days? Man, this team lineup is really outrageous. I just want to ask if anyone is still willing to wait. High staking enthusiasm is not a bad thing; the speed of leaving the team in just 4 hours is impressive. ETH has accumulated again; it seems we need to increase the queue capacity, or it will be too difficult for newcomers to enter. So much capital is in line, just waiting for the moment of activation. It's a bit tense. Waiting for someone to withdraw all $6.7 billion again. By then, the queue pressure should ease. I really can't understand why so many people are rushing in. How are they considering the risks? Validators are a bit competitive now—entry costs plus waiting time. Can the returns break even?
