Ethereum Staking Tokens Rally as Shanghai Upgrade Nears

Özet

Ethereum’s upcoming Shanghai upgrade, which lets users unstake their ETH, is likely fueling investors’ interest in liquid staking projects.

As the withdrawal date for unstaking Ethereum closes in, tokens powering various liquid staking protocols are enjoying a hefty rally.

Lido Finance (LDO) and Rocket Pool (RPL), for example, have already posted significant gains over the past 24 hours, according to data from CoinGecko.

LDO, the governance token powering Lido Finance, Ethereum’s largest liquid-staking protocol, gained over 17.2% in the last 24 hours and trades at around $1.88.

Intense trading for the liquid-staking derivative crypto pumped its daily volumes across multiple exchanges to $276 million, a 436% jump over the previous day.

With a market capitalization slightly above $1.5 billion, LDO is now the 33th-largest cryptocurrency, per data from CoinGecko.

Over $1.61 million worth of LDO futures positions were liquidated over the past 24 hours, according to Coinglass. Most liquidations (~66%) came from blown-out short trades.

LDO liquidations and red bars indicate blown-out short trades.

Last week was extremely rewarding for LDO. Lido Finance has become the largest decentralized application in terms of total value locked (TVL), dethroning DAI’s creator MakerDAO.

LDO is also the largest weekly gainer, posting a tremendous 74.8% gain over the past seven days compared to Bitcoin’s meager 3.8% gain over the same period.

Another liquid staking token, Rocket Pool’s native token RPL, has also enjoyed steep gains of 14.2% over the past 24 hours, according to data from CoinGecko.

As of this writing, RPL trades at around $26.13, boasting an 802% increase in daily trading volumes to $7.8 million over the past 24 hours.

Despite today’s greenish momentum, RPL is still down 56.6% from its historical all-time high of $59.46.

Besides liquid staking tokens, Ethereum itself enjoys 4.4% in daily gains and over 10% in weekly gains.

Ethereum, Shanghai and staking

Ethereum successfully switched to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism in early September 2022.

The switch removed the need for energy-intensive mining equipment essentially overnight, replacing these machines with a leaner staking mechanism. In order to become a validator of this network, users must first put up 32 Ethereum.

They can earn a percentage yield for doing this and validating the network honestly, or, conversely, can face hefty fines on those staked funds should they behave maliciously.

Despite the lucrative yield on offer, which today can earn users up to 4%, putting up 32 ETH, or roughly $42,000, is a big ask for many. Services like Lido and Rocket allow investors to stake any amount of Ethereum and still earn their rewards.

And besides the hefty upfront charge, once those funds are staked, they can’t be removed (until the next Ethereum upgrade).

Here’s why Shanghai has become such a highly-anticipated upgrade. Once executed, this change will let users withdraw their staked Ethereum.

a16z: In the AI Era, Company Competition for Talent Starts with Job Title Naming

The article discusses how companies in the AI era are competing for talent through strategic "title arbitrage," or the renaming of key roles to reflect and attract new, high-value capabilities. It uses Palantir's creation of the "Forward-Deployed Engineer" (FDE) as a prime example. This title reframed client-facing technical work from a peripheral "implementation" role into a core, high-status engineering function. The move was strategic, allowing Palantir to attract talent that blended technical skill with business acumen and to dominate the market's perception of this capability. The piece argues that job titles are an organizational language that signals the value and authority of certain work. Effective new titles, like "Data Scientist" or "Site Reliability Engineer," emerge when a role's strategic importance genuinely outgrows its old name. Conversely, mere title inflation without substantive change is ineffective. For AI companies, particularly in B2B, this is a crucial strategy. AI transformation creates new high-leverage roles (e.g., "Legal Engineer," "GTM Engineer") that combine domain expertise with technical automation. By naming these roles, a company can help clients internally legitimize these change-makers. This, in turn, builds market mindshare, associating the company with the new capability. In conclusion, as AI blurs the lines between product and service, the ability to accurately name and organize the critical, client-adjacent work that defines product learning will be a key competitive advantage. The first to define this new organizational language plants a flag in the market's mind.

Interview with Strategy CEO: Can STRC Recover After Selling Bitcoin?

Interview with Strategy CEO Phong Le on the recent sale of 32 Bitcoin and its impact. He clarifies the move was a small, strategic action to demonstrate liquidity to debt holders, test internal processes, and prove operational discipline—not a response to fears of a "death spiral" from DeFi protocols leveraging STRC (Strategy's preferred stock product), which he notes holds less than 10% of STRC. Le emphasizes Strategy’s long-term focus as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, using the adage that markets are a "voting machine" short-term but a "weighing machine" long-term. Decision-making is data-driven, involving the board, complex modeling, and multiple stakeholder considerations, moving beyond a founder-centric model. He outlines various capital options but stresses the strategic importance of "doing nothing" as a valid choice, citing resilience built during the 2022 bear market. Le expresses unwavering belief in Bitcoin's foundational value for global sovereignty and its future role in an AI-driven economy with trillions of autonomous agents. Addressing STRC's current price below its $100 face value, Le explains recent pressure was due to using dollar reserves for bond buybacks. He expects STRC to return to par as reserves are replenished and its semi-monthly dividend payments begin, noting the product is heavily over-collateralized. Finally, Le confirms the company sold Bitcoin the week prior to May 31st, as disclosed in an 8-K filing, leaving prediction market interpretations to others. The overarching philosophy remains "Spread Bitcoin with love," embracing all methods of gaining Bitcoin exposure.
