Ethereum Exit Queue Hits 2026 High at 850,000 ETH

Key Facts

1The Ethereum withdrawal queue has reached 850,000 ETH, marking its highest level in 2026.
2The estimated wait time to withdraw from staking has reached approximately 14.77 days.

The Ethereum withdrawal queue for staked ETH has reached 850,000 tokens, marking its highest level recorded in 2026. Tokenpost reported that the estimated wait time to complete these withdrawals has extended to approximately 14.77 days.

Analyst Jiang Zhuoer stated that long-term holders are seeking to exit staking positions to lock in profits at current price levels. This surge in the exit queue indicates potential selling pressure as a significant volume of ETH moves toward liquidity, though the 15-day delay is expected to stagger the immediate market impact.
