Active validators fell from approximately 912,000 in September to around 807,000, even as the quantity of staked ETH increased. Meanwhile, ETH traded near USD 2,042.94, down approximately 15.5% over seven days after losing the USD 2,250 support level.

However, staked tokens are not permanently unavailable, and withdrawals can increase selling pressure. The divergence between record staking participation and falling prices highlights continued network commitment without guaranteeing immediate market recovery.
