The exit queue for Ethereum staking validators has fallen to zero, Cointelegraph reported on Saturday.
Ethereum validator queue data show the exit queue fell to 0 ETH from 2.67 million ETH in September 2025. The new staking queue rose fivefold from a month earlier to 2.6 million ETH, the highest level since July 2023. Staking wait times have extended to 45 days, while exits are processed within minutes.
Industry analysts say the inflows are strengthening ETH supply-demand dynamics and increasing the likelihood of future price gains. Leon Wightman, head of research at Onchain Foundation, forecast that if the staking queue becomes active, the staking ratio will rise to an all-time high.
The trend reflects increased inflows from institutional investors, with the current annual staking yield at about 2.8 percent.
