Ethereum's validator exit queue surged to 433,158 ETH on May 3, a 72,000% increase in two weeks, triggered by a wave of DeFi exploits causing mass withdrawals from restaking platforms. April saw $625 million lost in 30 DeFi incidents, including a $292 million hack linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group, shaking confidence in DeFi security. Despite the exit surge, 3.6 million ETH remains in the staking entry queue, indicating ongoing interest in staking. The total staked ETH is 38.6 million, about 31.72% of supply, suggesting a rotation of capital rather than a mass exit. If DeFi exploits decline, staking activity is expected to stabilize.
