1.163852 million ETH awaiting entry into Ethereum, down 26.3% from October 1

Ethereum's staking entry queue fell to 1,163,852 ETH as of Nov. 1 at 3:08 p.m., down 26.3% (414,990 ETH) from the 1,578,842 ETH recorded at the Oct. 1 daily close, per CryptoKeyhole data from confirmed epochs on its own Ethereum node. Net deposits minus principal withdrawals over Oct. 25–31 were negative 1,752 ETH, while the exit queue stood at 0 ETH and active validators now secure 36.14% of total ETH supply. CryptoKeyhole estimates the entry wait time at 20.7 days, down from roughly 25 days when the queue was around 1.5 million ETH on Oct. 5. The shrinking queue suggests easing validator onboarding pressure, though the slightly negative weekly net flow indicates deposits and withdrawals are roughly balanced. Watch whether the entry queue continues to decline toward equilibrium and whether exit demand re-emerges, which would signal shifting staker sentiment.
