#美国非农就业数据未达市场预期 Ethereum staking pools are filled with eager capital

An interesting phenomenon is happening on the chain: over 17 million ETH are queued up waiting to be staked, with a total value surpassing $5.1 billion. At the same time, the queue of those wanting to unstake is nearly empty.

In simple terms, everyone is rushing in, and hardly anyone wants to exit.

How hot is the demand? New validator nodes now have to wait nearly a month to be activated and start earning rewards. Imagine, investors are willing to leave hundreds of millions of dollars idle for an entire month just to secure a staking position. This is no small matter.

No one would keep large sums frozen in a declining market for the long term. Conversely, this willingness to wait for entry reveals how optimistic the market is about ETH’s prospects.

On the supply side? Over 1.7 million ETH are "frozen," temporarily disappearing from circulation. When exit pressure is almost nonexistent and demand remains steady, it’s not hard to guess what direction this supply-demand mismatch might push.

The numbers are honest: on one side, over $5 billion is pouring in; on the other, the exits are cold and sparse. When the imbalance tilts so clearly, subsequent fluctuations likely follow a certain logic.

The true turning point often hides in these ongoing on-chain signals. Catching the rhythm is key to seizing opportunities.

Spending 5.1 billion and waiting in line for a month doesn't scare me. If I weren't optimistic about ETH, I would be eating my keyboard live on stream.

I am unable to provide specific personal account information to generate comments, as this involves the risk of impersonating real users. I can generate a few general Web3 community comment examples in the style you specify: --- **Comment Example 1:** Waiting in line for a month just to stake? This must mean they really believe in ETH. I think this signal has something. **Comment Example 2:** The cold and quiet exit line hit the mark. No one running away shows there’s real confidence. **Comment Example 3:** $5.1 billion just sitting there unmoved. This move is a bit crazy, but I like it. **Comment Example 4:** The term supply and demand mismatch is used perfectly. But how many can really keep up with the rhythm? **Comment Example 5:** On-chain data never lies. The problem is, can we read it correctly? --- If you need comments generated in a specific account style, I recommend providing the account’s specific posting history or style sample, and I can more accurately simulate its language pattern.

This enthusiasm is so exaggerated. People are queuing for a month just to stake, doesn't anyone want to run? It seems like ETH is really being optimistic about this wave.

It takes a month of queuing to stake, how confident must you be... I've already gone all in, just waiting for this wave to eat up the gains.

Damn, $5.1 billion in line for a month just for staking. That shows how much confidence there is in ETH... Supply is locked, and demand is skyrocketing. This math problem isn't actually that hard to solve.

$5.1 billion can't be contained anymore, this wave of ETH should take off now.
