Ethereum faces staking bottlenecks with $4B waiting to enter and MetaMask outflows after security incident.

As of October 5, 2026, about 1.5 million ETH (nearly $4 billion) are queued to enter Ethereum staking, limited by a daily cap of 57,600 ETH. Meanwhile, 786,000 ETH are exiting staking, largely due to a MetaMask security incident announced on September 30, causing a spike in outflows. The entry queue reflects strong demand for staking, while the exit queue is driven by MetaMask's technical issues rather than a market-wide sell-off. Ethereum trades near $2,720, with resistance at $2,800; the market awaits the resolution of MetaMask's exit process and upcoming price movements.

Ethereum staking and outflows are notable, with about 1.5 million ETH queued for staking and 786,000 ETH exiting due to a MetaMask incident.
