Ethereum Daily — September 11, 2026
Covering roughly September 10 – September 11, 2026.
Roadmap. No major protocol news since yesterday's post. Client teams' deadline to submit preference lists on remaining Hegotá scope items passed yesterday (September 10), but no results from that process have been published yet. The Hegotá tier list (EIP-7805 FOCIL and EIP-8141 Frame Transactions marked "must ship") and the October 6 Glamsterdam Sepolia activation target both stand unchanged.
Governance. Nothing new in the past 24 hours. The Foundation's earlier leadership turnover and the quantum-resistant-L1-by-2029 target remain the latest word, with no fresh statements or disputes surfacing today.
Institutional and corporate adoption. No new announcement since yesterday. BitMine's most recent purchase (September 8, roughly $69–70 million) and the Mint Incorporation (MIMI) Nasdaq-share tokenization deal are unchanged, with MIMI still awaiting regulatory approval and no completion timeline.
Stats. As of today, ETH is trading near $2,465, down modestly from yesterday's ~$2,500. The validator set held essentially flat at 909,680 active validators, with 42.9 million ETH staked (35.16% of supply). The entry queue eased slightly to 1.89 million ETH (about 32 days, 18 hours), and — notably — the exit queue that spiked to 42,713 ETH (17h48m wait) yesterday has fully drained back to 0 ETH with no wait, resolving overnight. Gas held steady around 0.159 gwei, essentially in line with yesterday's 0.163 gwei. DeFi TVL is essentially flat at $49.09 billion (-0.41% on the day). ETF flows saw a second net outflow in three sessions: -$25.2 million on September 10, following a $34.7 million net inflow on September 9; cumulative net inflows since launch sit around $13.17 billion, roughly unchanged from yesterday.
