According to Decrypt, as large investors such as enterprises and exchanges choose to stake Ethereum for yield rather than sell during market rebounds, the number of Ethereum validators entering the queue has surged to approximately 3.4 million ETH, marking one of the longest staking queue records since the network transitioned to PoS, with an expected wait time of about 60 days.

This figure has significantly increased from around 900,000 ETH in early January, indicating that major market participants are opting to lock up supply for yield.

Industry feedback shows that current demand is primarily driven by large enterprises and exchanges seeking to generate returns on idle crypto assets. Analysts suggest that the narrative surrounding Ethereum's potential in payment infrastructure and AI-related applications may also be fueling this demand.
