The latest data shows that the Ethereum staking market is undergoing significant changes, attracting widespread attention in the industry. The number of ETH withdrawn from staking has surged to 888,000, amounting to approximately $3.97 billion at current market prices, which is quite astonishing. It is worth noting that the withdrawal process is not instantaneous, with the average waiting time extended to 15 days and 10 hours, highlighting the urgent demand for liquidity among market participants.
In stark contrast, the enthusiasm for new staking has clearly cooled. The deposits of new validators waiting to enter amount to only 286,000 ETH, valued at approximately $1.28 billion, with the waiting time for entry reduced to less than 5 days. This weakening of entry willingness, coupled with an increase in exit willingness, together paints a clear picture of net capital outflow.
This trend poses significant challenges for node operators. A large amount of ETH is locked in the exit queue, severely restricting the liquidity of funds and putting substantial pressure on operations. The staking market currently shows that the outflow pressure is greater than the inflow momentum, and this change is worth close attention from all market participants.
The trend of future capital flows will directly impact market sentiment and the stability of node operations. This situation not only reflects the psychological state of current market participants but may also indicate broader market trends. At this critical moment, investors and market analysts need to remain vigilant and closely monitor developments to make informed decisions.
