According to @EmberCN, two spot ETH ETFs managed by Grayscale staked an additional 272,000 ETH (about $1.21B) roughly 4 hours ago, bringing their cumulative staked deposits to 304,000 ETH since being allowed to stake (source: x.com/EmberCN/status/1975722160716194224). The validator activation queue currently holds about 489,000 ETH awaiting entry, with Grayscale accounting for most of the pending activation according to the report (sources: x.com/EmberCN/status/1975722160716194224; validatorqueue.com). In contrast, approximately 2,427,000 ETH are queued to exit staking, creating a net queue imbalance of roughly 1,938,000 ETH toward withdrawals (sources: validatorqueue.com; x.com/EmberCN/status/1975722160716194224). Grayscale-associated addresses can be tracked for staking activity via ARKM Intel to verify flows and positions (source: intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/grayscale). For trading context, the larger exit queue versus entry queue indicates a validator pipeline net outflow; traders can monitor queue shifts and Grayscale address flows to gauge near-term ETH liquidity and staking-yield dynamics (sources: validatorqueue.com; intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/grayscale).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, a suspected dormant BTC-era whale staked 269,485 ETH to the ETH2 Beacon Chain within the past hour, valued at $1.25 billion, per @ai_9684xtpa. The same source states the deposit size exceeds the Ethereum Foundation’s 231,000 ETH holdings, per @ai_9684xtpa. The source also reports the move narrowed the Ethereum PoS network’s exit-versus-entry validator queue gap to 26, per @ai_9684xtpa.

According to @rovercrc, the Ethereum (ETH) validator queue is cooling down, indicating a reduction in sell pressure. This development is considered bullish for ETH traders, as a lower queue often reflects less immediate intent to exit or liquidate staked positions. Reduced sell pressure can support price stability and potentially trigger upward momentum for ETH in the short term. Source: @rovercrc.
