Ethereum validator exit queue drops to zero as new staking faces 43-day wait

Ethereum validator withdrawal queue has fallen to zero, meaning staked ETH can now be unstaked without any additional delay beyond the protocol’s minimum processing time, Wu Blockchain reported. The withdrawal queue had reached 2.6 million ETH in September last year, but has now been fully cleared. By contrast, about 2.48 million ETH is waiting to be newly staked, with the estimated queue time standing at around 43 days.
