Lido DAO Jumps on SEC Clarity

$LDO surged 17.8% in 24 hours after the SEC said liquid staking tokens like #Lido ’s stETH aren’t securities if providers lack managerial control.

The move eases regulatory risk and opens doors for stETH in ETFs and corporate treasuries. Lido leads with $31.7B in staked $ETH as Ethereum’s TVL hits $187B, active addresses +19% to 8.7M, and stablecoin supply +7% to $138B, boosting staking demand.

Watch: ETH ETF staking approval, Pectra upgrade, and potential policy-driven inflows.
