As $ETH prices continue to decline, more and more large holders are not choosing to sell off but instead are staking. According to data from the validator queue tracking website validatorqueue, since December 26, 2025, the number of ETH waiting in line to join the Ethereum PoS network has been steadily increasing, currently at 3,125,624 ETH, worth approximately $9.01 billion, with an estimated activation delay of about 54 days and 6 hours. I saw some news a few days ago that the Ethereum PoS network staking exit queue has been cleared, indicating that major holders are steadfast E-guardians. In the short term, political and economic factors may still cause prices to dip, but in the long run, the main trend of ETH's rise still seems to continue!
