Why Investors Are Rushing to Stake Ethereum?

After more than a month of a strong rise in the ETH unstaking queue, a reversal occurred in September 2025. The Entry Queue has surpassed the Exit Queue, signaling continued strong confidence in the Ethereum ecosystem.

This shift reinforces demand for ETH staking at a time when the altcoin shows signs of outperforming Bitcoin.

Nearly 960,000 ETH in the Entry Queue

According to Validator Queue data, the Entry Queue currently holds 959,717 ETH and has an estimated wait time of 16 days. In contrast, the Exit Queue holds only 821,293 ETH and has a wait time of 14 days.

Previously, BeInCrypto warned about rising ETH in the unstaking queue. However, the chart shows a decline in September. Meanwhile, the volume of ETH waiting to be staked has grown more quickly.

This reversal eases earlier concerns that ETH’s price might face selling pressure from the growing unstaking volume. Instead, fresh capital flowing into staking indicates that the community remains optimistic about Ethereum’s long-term outlook.

OnchainLens observed a notable example: A wallet from Ethereum’s ICO era staked 150,000 ETH, worth $656 million, after eight years of inactivity.

In contrast, long-dormant Bitcoin whale wallets have recently become active, with one 13-year-old wallet transferring 80,000 BTC, valued at over $9 billion, to sell. Meanwhile, Ethereum wallets are increasingly moving towards staking, which highlights a clear difference between the two leading cryptocurrencies.

CryptoQuant data shows a strong upward trend in staked ETH since mid-2025. The total rose from 34.5 million ETH in May to over 36 million today. This number will likely grow further along with the ETH currently waiting in the staking queue.

Everstake.eth explained three main reasons why more ETH is being staked. First, many investors believe in Ethereum’s long-term value and want to secure it. Second, ETH’s rising price and record-low gas fees make staking more attractive. Finally, more companies and funds are joining Ethereum staking, channeling larger sums into the network.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
