Ethereum Daily — September 7, 2026
Covering roughly September 6 – September 7, 2026.
Roadmap. No material new development since yesterday. The Glamsterdam Sepolia activation stays penciled in for October 6, 2026 at 13:53 UTC, scope (ePBS, Block-Level Access Lists, ~200M gas limit) is unchanged, and client-team preference lists for remaining scope items are now due in three days (September 10).
Governance. No material new development since yesterday; EIP-8141 (Frame Transactions) remains "Scheduled for Inclusion" for Hegotá, and the EIP-8130 interoperability question is still unresolved.
Institutional and corporate adoption. No material new development since yesterday's Mint Incorporation (NASDAQ: MIMI) tokenization announcement; still no completion timeline, with the deal still subject to regulatory approval.
Stats. ETH is trading around $2,501, up roughly 1.9% on the day, extending the prior session's gain. The validator set kept growing: 908,538 active validators (up from 907,641), with 42.9 million ETH staked (35.13% of supply, up from 35.08%). The entry queue eased further to 1,993,972 ETH with a 34-day, 15-hour wait, while the exit queue ticked up to 6,752 ETH with a still-short 2-hour, 49-minute wait (up from 352 ETH/9 minutes). Gas nudged up to a 0.052 gwei average (from 0.046 gwei). DeFi TVL rose to roughly $49.53 billion (+1.6% on the day). ETF flows: no new daily print since the September 4 report ($25.9 million net inflow, revised); cumulative net inflows since launch remain roughly $13.19 billion — likely a data lag over the weekend rather than a change in trend.
