The Ethereum staking withdrawal queue has retreated from last week's peak. After MetaMask began withdrawing validators, the withdrawal queue once climbed to about 851,000 ETH, and is currently down to about 767,000 ETH. Previously, on September 29, the queue was only about 166,000 ETH, growing more than five times in just a few days, reaching about 2% of the total staked ETH of approximately 43.6 million.On September 30, MetaMask disclosed a security incident affecting some of its infrastructure and took the affected validators offline as a precaution. Its update on October 1 stated that the investigation found no signs of impact on wallets or customer funds. In addition to its wallet services, MetaMask also operates validators for the staking service provider Lido. Ethereum security researcher Kaden estimates that this precautionary withdrawal involves about 17,000 validators and approximately 523,000 ETH, although MetaMask has not confirmed this data.Lido expects that as the affected validators withdraw and their balances are extracted, these ETH will gradually be restaked, a process that may take about 45 days. During the downtime, the affected validators will miss out on rewards, and Lido stated that stETH holders do not need to take any action. Meanwhile, the demand for entering the staking queue has cooled, with about 1.5 million ETH waiting to enter, and the estimated waiting time is about 25 days.

According to CoinDesk, data from the cryptocurrency recruitment platform CryptoJobsList shows that the number of job postings by cryptocurrency companies in September increased from 382 in July to 1,241, continuing to rise from 886 in August, and surpassing the most active month earlier this year, January, which had 573 postings. The number of companies posting jobs in September rose to 125, up from 107 in July, and briefly dropped to 77 in August.The platform believes that the recovery in hiring in September aligns with the seasonal pattern of business returning to normal after the summer off-season in the Northern Hemisphere, but the data indicates that seasonality is not the only reason: the number of job postings in August had already doubled compared to July, and there was no similar surge from August to September in 2025; the most active month that year, October, had only 373 postings, with data from July to September remaining basically flat.In contrast to the increase in job postings, the number of applications fell from 25,700 in July to 24,631 in August, and further declined to less than 20,000 in September. CryptoJobsList interprets this divergence as a tightening competition for professional talent. Over the past three months, finance has been the largest recruitment category, followed by engineering and trading, with stablecoins, AI, security, and compliance also making the top ten; the most requested blockchain skills are Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

The decentralized trading protocol Osmosis in the Cosmos ecosystem announced that the maintenance mode of the past few months is coming to an end, and active development will resume. The team stated that the first step is to streamline the core product, including simplifying the tokenomics, focusing on the treasury, and enabling the network to act faster when needed.Osmosis proposed three adjustments to OSMO, all of which will be submitted for on-chain governance. First, further reduce inflation, decrease the circulation of new OSMO, and stop injecting newly minted OSMO into the community pool, making the network rely more on actual revenue. Second, destroy most of the OSMO held by the community pool, as well as the OSMO previously allocated from the community pool. Third, the treasury will only provide liquidity for the core liquidity pool, with a complete list to be published before the changes take effect.The team also plans to reduce the active validator set to 30, stating that a smaller set helps with security incident response and chain upgrade coordination, and aligns with a low-inflation model. Osmosis stated that streamlining the protocol is to prepare for future expansion, as it remains the central venue for IBC asset trading, and seeks community input on the direction of the next steps.
