About 900,000 Ether (ETH) was waiting in Ethereum’s validator activation queue, while roughly 36% of the network’s total supply was staked. Both figures describe network participation rather than deposit flows.

The activation queue counts ETH awaiting entry into Ethereum’s validator set. Validators help secure the network through its proof-of-stake system, in which participants commit ETH.

Ethereum’s staking share was 36.32% in earlier coverage. The estimates are close, but they do not show whether deposits increased during the price decline: the figures provide no before-and-after measure of staking deposits.
