Liquid Restaking in 2025: Unlocking Capital and New Income Opportunities! 🌊💰
In June 2025, liquid restaking became one of the fastest-growing sectors in the EigenLayer ecosystem, allowing users to obtain liquid tokens (LRT) in exchange for their restaked ETH or LST.
LRT Protocols: Protocols such as Renzo Protocol, ether.fi, Kelp DAO, Puffer Finance, and others offer solutions for liquid restaking.
Unlocking Capital: LRT allows restakers to participate in other DeFi activities (such as lending, trading on DEX) with their staked capital while continuing to earn income from restaking.
Institutional Interest: Renzo Protocol and Concrete Finance launched institutional restaking vaults, indicating growing interest from traditional finance (TradFi) in this new asset class.
Additional Income: In addition to rewards from EigenLayer and AVS, LRT can generate additional income through their own mechanisms.
Liquid restaking maximizes capital efficiency and opens new horizons for innovation in DeFi.
