【Market Brief】Market Trends on the Evening of January 18, 2026
Tonight, major cryptocurrencies performed variably. Bitcoin is priced at $95,190.29, down slightly by 0.38% over the past 24 hours; Ethereum, on the other hand, rose against the trend, trading at $3,301.34, up 0.70%; BNB on Binance Chain increased by 0.45% to $947.18; Dogecoin decreased by 0.16% to $0.1376; Solana saw a relatively larger decline, dropping 1.03% to $142.43.
【On-Chain Observation】Ethereum Staking Ecosystem Continues to Heat Up
More noteworthy are the on-chain developments. The withdrawal queue for Ethereum validators has been cleared — a significant drop from the peak of 2.67 million ETH last September. In contrast, the onboarding queue has grown more than fivefold in the past month, now reaching 2.6 million ETH, hitting a new high since July 2023.
What does this mean? Those wanting to become validators must wait 45 days, but those exiting can get their funds in just a few minutes. Clearly, the market is optimistic about staking yields. Once these 2.6 million ETH are gradually converted into active validators, Ethereum’s overall staking rate will hit a new all-time high. Industry analysts believe this reflects sustained market confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value.
