Amid strong ETF inflows in recent weeks and growing institutional interest in ETH treasuries, Ethereum’s validator entry queue hit its highest level in two years on Tuesday. There are currently 860,000 ETH, worth around $3.7 billion at today’s values, waiting in line, according to validator Everstake.

Ethiopia is turning its surplus hydropower into a concrete source of revenue through Bitcoin mining. The country generates more electricity than its grid can handle. This is especially true for the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Instead of letting up to 11 percent of that capacity sit idle, Ethiopian Electric Power is selling this excess energy to Bitcoin miners. The price is roughly three to four cents per kilowatt-hour. Over the past ten months, this approach has brought in around fifty-five million dollars in foreign currency. Clearly, monetizing stranded power is doing more than just filling government coffers.
