Liquid staked Ether 2.0

24h change: -4.87%. From $2,150.60 to $2,045.89.

• Lido DAO governance is reviewing a proposal to spend up to 10,000 stETH, worth about $20 million, to repurchase LDO tokens trading at a 70% discount to the two-year median. The buyback would occur in batches and retire around 8% of LDO's circulating supply. This addresses the gap between LDO price and Lido's stable revenues and dominant staking position.

24h change: +5.31%. From $2,024.67 to $2,132.20.

• Lido DAO approved a $60 million budget for 2026 focusing on stETH expansion infrastructure upgrades and institutional products to diversify revenue. This supports ongoing developments like stVaults launched January 30 and Lido Earn expansions. The budget aims to enhance protocol resilience and growth
• Lido DAO proposed a one-off $20 million buyback of its LDO governance token using up to 10,000 stETH at a depressed valuation. This comes as LDO trades near all-time lows amid revenue drop from withdrawals and lower yields. The move seeks to support token value and protocol alignment
• Lido launched stVaults on Ethereum mainnet January 30 allowing L2s custom staking rules alongside V3 upgrade. Lido Earn added first-loss protection and new vaults like EarnETH and EarnUSD for better rewards. These modular products expand beyond core stETH staking

24h change: -1.35%. From $2,049.74 to $2,022.08.

• Lido DAO governance members are voting on spending up to 10,000 stETH from treasury to buy back LDO tokens on centralized exchanges in batches. The move targets LDO's 70% discount to its two-year median valuation despite solid protocol metrics like 23% staked ETH market share and rising take rate. Thin on-chain liquidity prompts off-chain execution to minimize slippage.
• The Ethereum Foundation staked a record 24,623 ETH valued at around $46-50 million to support network sustainability and DeFi. This increases overall staked ETH supply where Lido dominates with 23% share via stETH. The move aligns with ongoing Ethereum staking growth.

24h change: +2.76%. From $1,994.54 to $2,049.62.

• Lido DAO proposes using up to 10,000 stETH from its treasury to buy back LDO tokens trading near all-time lows. The one-off measure addresses a price dislocation not matched by protocol performance declines. This comes as crypto projects increasingly turn to buybacks for token support.
• Lido has rolled out stVaults on mainnet and new Earn products including stablecoin vaults as staking yields compress. These modular staking solutions allow L2s, institutions, and others to create custom vaults using Lido infrastructure. Adoption includes Linea, Nansen, and institutional stakers.

24h change: -1.76%. From $2,021.40 to $1,985.88.

• A new proposal authorizes the Lido Growth Committee to use up to 10,000 stETH—worth about $20 million—from the DAO treasury to purchase LDO tokens in batches. This one-time trade aims to exploit market dislocations where LDO appears undervalued relative to protocol metrics like TVL and revenue. It operates separately from ongoing automated buyback mechanisms.
• Ethereum staking queues grow while unstaking remains low, with over 2.8 million ETH waiting to stake. Lido leads as the top staker with nearly 9 million stETH, holding about 30% market share. This sustained demand underscores liquid staking's role in securing the network while providing liquidity.
