TechFlame reports that, according to market sources, the number of ETH queued to join the Ethereum PoS network has been steadily increasing since December 26, 2025. It now stands at 3,068,886 ETH, hitting a new high for 2023, with an approximate value of $8.98 billion. The estimated activation delay is around 53 days and 7 hours. This reflects persistently strong staking demand, primarily driven by Ethereum treasury companies and institutions like BitMine, which have recently staked large amounts of their held ETH. On-chain data shows that BitMine has currently staked a cumulative total of 1,943,200 ETH, valued at approximately $5.69 billion. Meanwhile, the Ethereum PoS network staking exit queue has been cleared, meaning there are currently no significant numbers of users opting to redeem ETH from staking. This indicates that stakers can now withdraw their ETH almost immediately.
