Crypto News | Ethereum staking exit queue hits record high of over $4.6 billion Oluwapelumi Adejumo | usagoldmines.com

Ethereum’s staking system is under mounting pressure as withdrawals outpace new deposits, with the exit queue reaching its highest level.

Validator queue data shows that as of Aug. 27, more than 1,023,560 ETH, worth roughly $4.6 billion, had been lined up for withdrawal from staking. By contrast, only 580,637 ETH, valued at about $2.6 billion, is waiting to be added to the network.

Meanwhile, the imbalance has also extended validator waiting times. Current estimates suggest stakers face an average delay of 17 days and 18 hours before they can fully exit, the most extended period recorded in the past month.
