Ethereum (ETH)’s circulating market supply appears to be shrinking rapidly.

According to Cointelegraph on the 26th (local time), Ethereum’s liquid supply has continued to decline as staking rises and exchange outflows increase.

Currently, about 38.10 million ETH is locked in staking, equivalent to roughly 33.1% of total supply. The share of supply staked is at an all-time high, structurally reducing the amount available for trading.

The validator queue is also growing. Around 2.87 million ETH is waiting to enter staking, with the queue period reaching about 50 days. By contrast, the withdrawal queue stands at about 40,500 ETH, meaning the pace at which supply returns to the market is limited.

Outflows from exchanges are also continuing. On the 22nd, about $1.67 billion worth of Ethereum was withdrawn from OKX, and outflows of more than $300 million occurred twice from Binance.

According to CryptoQuant data, Ethereum held on exchanges has fallen to its lowest level since 2016. Binance’s holdings, at about 3.3 million ETH, are also nearing their lowest level since late 2020.
