Lots of ETH Being Unstaked... and it takes time (Patreon)

Since mid-July 2025, a lot of Ethereum (ETH) holders are trying to unstake their coins. On July 15, when ETH was worth about $3,000, no one was waiting to unstake. But now, by mid-August, almost 900,000 ETH (around $4 billion) is lined up to leave the staking system. This is about 2.5% of all the ETH that’s staked.

Why do people unstake? To sell!

Some feel it could drive sell pressure.
