A leading staking service provider has recently continued to expand its presence in the Ethereum validation ecosystem, adding a one-time total of 82,560 ETH to the system, valued at approximately $259 million. This influx has pushed the Ethereum validator node queue close to the critical threshold of 1 million ETH.

According to on-chain data, the current waiting time for new validation nodes has extended to 17 days, reflecting the ongoing strong demand for Ethereum staking. The total staked ETH position of this institution has now reached 544,064 ETH, estimated at about $16.2 billion at current prices.

This series of actions sends a strong market signal. On one hand, the continued increase by major staking service providers indicates confidence in Ethereum's long-term value; on the other hand, the accumulation of validator queue positions also shows that more participants want to join Ethereum's proof-of-stake ecosystem. As staking demand heats up, the node waiting period may further lengthen, bringing new considerations for liquidity allocation within the ecosystem.

82,560 ETH was dumped all at once. This move is quite aggressive; it seems like big investors are all bottom-fishing.

Damn, dropping 82,560 coins all at once—does this guy really believe in it, or is he just trying to monopolize the validation queue? So funny.

It's the same big players hoarding like crazy again. When will retail investors get their turn to jump in?

It's another big whale accumulating, with a position of 1.6 billion USD. As retail investors, we really have no way out.

The big players are really not afraid of this move, pouring in 259 million USD at once. This is like voting with money. The waiting queue has already piled up to 17 days. Shouldn't us small retail investors have jumped in by now? 544,064 ETH sounds outrageous. Is this institution trying to pack the entire PoS ecosystem into a wallet?
