The $LDO mentioned earlier this afternoon will directly show a big bullish candlestick!

The SEC announced that cryptocurrency liquid staking activities are not securities, essentially providing reassurance to domestic platforms, institutions, and users in the United States.

This means they can now participate in the ecosystem of Lido (and similar protocols) with more confidence and freedom. The previously most concerning issue of 'will it violate securities law' has been decisively clarified, clearly sending a compliance signal and directly releasing regulatory constraints.

For the entire DeFi industry, the significance of this matter extends beyond just Lido.

In the future, more protocols may be willing to integrate stETH, not only because it is a mainstream derivative asset of ETH but also because compliance risks have significantly decreased. Many DeFi projects, centralized exchanges, and even some traditional fintech platforms that were previously on the sidelines now have more compelling reasons to support, launch, or incorporate Lido's assets and mechanisms.

This is a turning point for the flow of funds and the expansion of the ecosystem.

From Lido's own perspective: this is equivalent to an official stamp of approval that your product design is fine, the logic is compliant, and the model is okay.

On one hand, the removal of regulatory shadows attracts more domestic U.S. funds and institutions to enter the market;

On the other hand, it essentially pushes Lido to the front door of the world's largest capital market—long-term, this not only means user growth but also accelerates ecological innovation.

Thus, this positive development has a dual dimension:
In the short term, it brings a boost in market sentiment due to regulatory certainty;
In the long term, it leads to liquidity expansion and ecological prosperity due to model recognition. $LDO
