BlockBeats News, January 23rd, according to the Validator Queue tracking website validatorqueue data, the amount of ETH waiting to join the Ethereum PoS network has been continuously increasing since December 26, 2025, now reaching 3,068,886 ETH, hitting a new high since July 2023, worth approximately $8.98 billion, with an estimated activation delay of about 53 days and 7 hours. This reflects a strong and sustained staking demand, mainly driven by Ethereum treasury companies and institutions such as BitMine staking a large amount of ETH they hold. On-chain data shows that BitMine has currently staked a total of 1,943,200 ETH, valued at around $5.69 billion.
Meanwhile, the Ethereum PoS network’s unstaking queue has been cleared, and there are currently no significant users choosing to unstake ETH, meaning stakers can now almost immediately withdraw their ETH.
