Sentora: $1.06B net ETH outflows; staking and validator queue growth vs. ~$2.69B liquidation exposure as ETH tests $3,000

first published 2026-01-09T15:45:00Z

Analytics firm Sentora reports -$1.06 billion in net Ethereum outflows this week alongside a 120% jump in the validator entry queue and record address growth, indicating large holders are locking ETH for staking/long-term positions. SharpLink Gaming deployed $170 million of ETH into a yield strategy on Consensys’s Linea and Bitmine has now staked over 800,000 ETH. Price broke above the daily 50 MA to $3,307 on Jan. 6 and is currently testing support near $3,000 (~$3,027). Network blob capacity was increased (blob target 14, max blob limit 21) to help stabilize rollup fees.

Sentora recorded -$1.06B net outflows and a 120% rise in the validator queue, plus large on-chain staking moves (SharpLink $170M on Linea; Bitmine >800k ETH), all suggesting supply is being locked and accumulation pressure is bullish. Price action shows a break above the daily 50 MA to $3,307 and current support testing near $3,000, while network capacity changes aim to stabilize rollup fees — concrete on-chain and price datapoints supporting a moderately bullish market view and material short-term relevance.
