Ethereum Unstaking Surge Explained: Sassano Counters FUD as Kiln Withdraws 1.6M ETH

• Ethereum validator exit queue tops 2M ETH, driven mainly by Kiln Finance’s withdrawal
• Sassano says unstaked ETH will likely be restaked with other validators, not sold
• ETH price consolidates near $4,300 as analysts warn of a retest below $4K

The Ethereum validator exit queue has surged past 2 million ETH, a sharp rise from just 808,000 validators in the entry queue. Ethereum currently has more than 1 million active validators with over 35.6 million ETH staked, accounting for nearly 29.4% of the circulating supply.

This spike triggered speculation that large-scale unstaking could signal broader selling pressure, raising concerns in the market.
