Lido DAO Overtakes MakerDAO and AAVE
The liquid staking pool, Lido Financial, is expected to start reaping the rewards of the Ethereum merger in September 2022, placing its total locked value currently at the top of the list among other decentralized finance protocols.
According to data made public by the DeFiLlama, the relevant Lido’s liquid staking protocol presently controls $5.9 billion in total locked value, far more than some of its major rivals, MakerDAO’s $5.89 billion and AAVE’s $3.7 billion.
According to Lido’s Finance’s website, as of today, January 2, it had $5.8 billion ETH staked. SOL, Polygon, Polkadot, and Kusama were each staked with about $23.2 million, $43.9 million, $11 million, and $2.2 million respectively.
The Lido concept, according to the article, gives users access to liquid Ether staking without obligating them to the conventional 32 ETH minimum. On the other hand, after Ethereum switched to proof-of-stake in the last month of 2022, Nansen’s blockchain data analytics revealed a huge demand for staking solutions like this one.
The aforementioned blockchain data analytics from Nansen also highlighted the potential and anticipated effects of the major Merges in terms of introducing staked ETH as an outright cryptocurrency-native yield-bearing instrument that was seen to have quickly outpaced other collateralized yield-bearing services.
Since Lido transmits received ether to the staking protocol, its fee revenue was observed to have been directly proportional to Ethereum Proof-of-stake earnings in this situation. Lido revealed that since October 2022, they have been bringing in $1 million per day in fees back in November 2022.
The largest rival of Lido Dao, MakerDAO, on the other hand, had a fall in sales to little over $4 million in the third quarter of the previous year. According to Messari, the third quarter data represented an 86% decline from the second quarter. He then gave two causes for the observed decline: a dearth of liquidations and weak credit demand.
When compared to big cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase and Kraken, which held 15% and 8.5% of staked ETH respectively, Lido was reported to have held the most amount of staked ETH among DeFi in the same month, with 31%, according to Nansen in September.
