Bitquery identified 565,056 ETH that had exited or joined the exit queue. Restaking it all would use 9.8 days of entry capacity at the Oct. 7 throughput.

The latest disclosed holdings leave roughly 88,600 ETH to reach 5%, or about six weeks at the most recent buying pace.

A higher entry bond lowers collateral per ETH at full balance, but funding and operator profiles determine fee-efficiency gains.

About 523,000 ETH is leaving MetaMask-operated validators while Ethereum’s total exit queue has surged above 773,000 ETH.

The Glamsterdam upgrade aims to create more room for DeFi and complex apps, but actual capacity will depend on validator preferences.
