The total number of Ethereum beacon chain validators has exceeded 560000.In addition, the Ethereum Beacon Chain ETH pledge APR (annual return rate) is 4.65%.L2BEAT data shows that as of now, the total lockup volume on Ethereum Layer2 is $9.17 billion, up 0.23% in the past 7 days. Among them, the largest lock-in volume is the expansion plan, ArbitrumOne, which is approximately 6.002 billion US dollars, accounting for 65.88%. The second largest lock-in volume is Optimism, which is 1.954 billion US dollars, accounting for 21.45%.The Ethereum Exchange showed a net transfer out status within 24 hours, with a net transfer out amount of 7.1344 million US dollars; Bitcoin experienced a net transfer phenomenon, with a 24-hour net transfer of $10.1 million.In addition to the good performance of data on the chain, the application scenarios of Ethereum are also constantly expanding, bringing hope for further breakthroughs in the market.Headquartered in Zurich, SwitzerlandFinancial bank IncoreBank announced that it will provide customers with Ethereum pledge servicesThe bank stated that customers using its Ethereum pledge service must fully comply with the "Know Your Customer (KYC)" and anti money laundering (AML) compliance requirements.Mark Dambacher, CEO of IncoreBank, stated that the bank will provide customers with Ethereum pledge services through quarantine wallets and comply with regulatory and tax regulations.However, although the Ethereum market is dominated by bullish sentiment, from today's market trend, the downward correction performance is still very obvious:Ethereum's price dropped as low as $1822 today, a daily decrease of 1.61%, while Bitcoin's price dropped as low as $27790, a daily decrease of 0.46%.Greeks.live macro researcher Adam tweeted that despite the upcoming upgrade in Shanghai, the implied volatility IV of Ethereum options has actually experienced a significant decline, with a drop of up to 8% in the past two days.He believes that the main reason for the decline in IV is the decrease in market liquidity caused by the Easter holiday. However, at the current level of volatility, it is abnormal for monthly IV to fall to the same level as Bitcoin, and a large number of users are adding positions to short the future volatility level.

Exit must first queue up.Unlike partial withdrawals of cumulative pledge rewards, this type of withdrawal is not automatic and the process is more time-consuming. Under the current network restrictions, queuing to exit can only process a maximum of 1800 full withdrawal requests per day.Exit queue25.2%Kraken(23%)CEXCoinbaseLSD18.3%
