Overview

  • The exit queue stands at nearly 693,000 ETH, about $2.6 billion, awaiting withdrawal with average wait times near 12 days.
  • Spot Ether ETFs have recorded net inflows for 15 straight days, accumulating over $20.7 billion in assets.
  • Ether’s price rebounded from around $3,550 earlier this week to about $3,760 as ETF demand countered sell pressure.
  • Everstake alongside Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood attribute the withdrawal surge to strategic stake management rather than network distress.
