The Ethereum staking market shows a rare reverse signal. According to on-chain data, the current entry queue is stacked with 745,000 ETH, while the exit queue has only 360,000 ETH. The scale of staking waiting is more than twice the amount applying to exit. This pattern has appeared for the first time in the past six months. The last time a similar pattern occurred, ETH prices doubled afterward.
From the market sentiment, large holders' attitudes have clearly turned positive. Key participants in the DeFi ecosystem have also recently publicly stated that 2026 will usher in a critical window for DeFi development. This surge in staking demand reflects institutional investors' renewed recognition of Ethereum's long-term value and an increased outlook for future returns. Currently, a new round of staking enthusiasm is taking shape.

74.5K coins are queued up waiting to enter, this pace doesn't seem right, did it double last time like this?
Really? Are the institutions starting to hoard again?
The staking craze is coming, it feels like it's about to take off.
Wait, isn't this data a bit too perfect, a little fake?
I don't believe you, just trying to cut the leeks again.
It should have been like this a long time ago, we've been holding back for too long.
36K out of the queue versus 74.5K in the queue, the gap is huge.
The window period in 2026? Let's get through this year first.
Can staking really make money? Feels like I've been losing all along.
Does the institutional shift to optimism mean prices can rise? The logic is a bit weak.
Is this really different this time, or is it just another round of cutting?

745,000 vs 360,000, this data is quite intense. Last time, ETH doubled under similar conditions. Now I can't sit still.
Wait, are institutions really back? Should I, as a retail investor, start buying the dip or keep observing?
The window period for 2026... Oh my, I feel like I'm about to miss another cycle.
The staking craze has started, but will it be the last to take over? Honestly, I'm a bit anxious.
This time, the signals feel different. The twofold difference definitely indicates something.

Entry 745,000 Exit 360,000, this ratio is obviously off the charts, gotta buy the dip
---
Wait, did the price double last time? Then why am I still waiting here for returns
---
Are institutions really accumulating, or is this just another prelude to a new round of chopping the leeks
---
2026 window period... sounds nice, but let’s survive through 2025 first
---
Is the staking frenzy coming? I’ve been waiting in line to unstake, so anxious
---
Double the entry vs exit, this data is a bit interesting, could it really be about to rise
---
Believe only half of what the key DeFi players say haha
---
Excited, but I have no bullets left

745,000 tokens in, 360,000 tokens out... These numbers are pretty intense, last time it doubled directly
The entry queue is twice the size of the exit... Big players are really going all in on the future
Staking frenzy is rising, I believe in the 2026 window period
When you say doubling, I think of how this wave of institutions really isn't joking
Wow, these numbers have doubled compared to the last time...
Institutions are rushing in madly, while exits are cold and quiet. Do you understand the pattern?

745,000 vs 360,000, this gap... the big players are really going all in
---
After doing this last time, ETH doubled. Now doing it again? I don’t buy it
---
The DeFi window in 2026, okay, let’s see how many projects can survive this year first
---
Staking frenzy? Or are large holders just gambling? Anyway, I can’t tell the difference
---
Wait, what does this mean? Is it too late to enter now?
---
First time in half a year, feels like something is happening
---
Institutional re-acknowledgment... that means someone is pouring money into the market
---
Damn, this data looks pretty intense
---
Repetition of history? Why do I feel like someone says that every time...
