The amount of ETH waiting in queue to join the Ethereum PoS network continues to grow, reaching a new high since 2023.

ChainCatcher News, according to market sources, since December 26, 2025, the amount of ETH queued to join the Ethereum PoS network has continued to grow, now reaching 3,068,886 ETH, setting a new high for 2023, with a value of approximately $8.98 billions. The estimated activation delay is about 53 days and 7 hours.

This reflects sustained strong staking demand, mainly due to Ethereum treasury companies and institutions such as BitMine recently staking large amounts of their ETH holdings. On-chain data shows that BitMine has currently staked a total of 1,943,200 ETH, with a total value of about $5.69 billions. Meanwhile, the Ethereum PoS network's staking exit queue has been cleared, and there are currently no large numbers of users choosing to redeem ETH from staking, which means stakers can now almost immediately withdraw ETH.
