📈 Over 183,000 #ETH just entered the #Ethereum validator queue — the biggest spike in over a year.

What’s going on?

Whales are front-running the next big unlock: ETH staking in ETFs.

And the market is asleep. 👇
🔹 Each validator stakes 32 ETH
5,740 new entries = 183,680 ETH staked
That’s >$650M at current prices — with almost no exits

🔹 Why now?
→ ETH ETFs approved in 2024
→ But staking was blocked by the SEC
→ That could change soon — and smart money is positioning early

🔹 ETH critics say:
→ L2s are “parasitic”
→ Staking is inferior to PoW
→ No real value accrues to ETH

But the real players are moving and locking ETH, securing yield, and preparing for institutional inflows.

Modular Ethereum is working.

Institutional adoption is accelerating.
