Ethereum Staking Tokens Rally as Shanghai Upgrade Nears

Decrypt2023-01-10 tarihinde yayınlandı2023-01-10 tarihinde güncellendi

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.

South Korea Targets 40 Unregistered Crypto Operators in Regulatory Crackdown

South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit has referred around 40 unregistered virtual asset service providers to the police as part of a regulatory crackdown. Under local law, all crypto exchanges must obtain ISMS certification and FIU registration before operating, yet only 28 entities are currently registered. The FIU identified methods used by offshore platforms to attract Korean users, including advertising on local messaging apps and using private money changers to convert stablecoins. Officials stressed that unregistered platforms are not protected by Korean law. This action aligns with South Korea's push for stricter global crypto compliance through FATF measures. FIU Director Lee Hyung-joo recently urged FATF members to remove transaction thresholds for the "Travel Rule," as South Korea plans to mandate identity checks for all crypto transactions starting in August, expanding from the current 1 million won (≈$730) minimum. Regulatory enforcement has intensified in 2026, with authorities pursuing criminal cases against market manipulation schemes and enhancing cooperation with financial institutions to curb cross-border illegal transactions.

The Full Story Behind Encryption Unicorn Blockstream's Deep Entanglement in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details allegations of serious fraud surrounding the crypto company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. Investigation account NatInfoSec accuses Blockstream of raising billions through its Blockstream Mining Note (BMN) products, which offer high fixed yields of up to 20% from purported mining revenue. The core allegations are: 1) Blockstream's public mining hash rate (15 EH/s) appears insufficient to cover the massive payout obligations from sold BMN notes, raising questions about the true source of investor payouts. 2) Key executive Christopher William Cook, central to the mining operations, has a prior federal conviction for mail fraud, a fact not disclosed to investors. Cook's background and lavish lifestyle are highlighted as red flags. 3) The structure allows payouts from any source of BTC, not necessarily mining revenue, which critics argue gives it Ponzi-like characteristics. The controversy also touches on Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a related entity planning a SPAC上市. Critics question whether BMN's liabilities and Cook's record should be disclosed in BSTR's filings. BitMEX Research offered a tempered analysis, confirming Cook's criminal record is likely true and the high yields concerning, but found other claims like insufficient抵押证据 less substantiated. Community debate centers on the need for verifiable proof of Blockstream's mining output and revenue. The article concludes that while fraud is not proven, BMN presents significant, unresolved questions regarding its actual scale, the source of its high fixed returns, the verifiability of its mining operations and payouts, and the full disclosure of associated risks and personnel backgrounds. Blockstream has not yet issued a formal response.

Crypto Lobby Pushes Congress To Keep Staking And Mining Tax Bill Intact

Crypto advocacy groups are urging U.S. lawmakers to pass the Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act (H.R. 9175) without changes. The bill seeks to clarify that rewards for proof-of-work miners and proof-of-stake validators are taxed only when the assets are sold, not immediately when received. This deferred tax treatment is crucial for operators' cash flow and profitability. The proposal faces opposition from banking interests, who argue it could give crypto yield products an unfair advantage over traditional savings. The outcome will impact network decentralization, as complex tax rules could push out smaller operators. The lobbying effort marks an expansion of crypto's policy focus beyond market structure into tax rules that underpin network economics. The bill's fate depends on whether Congress advances it as a standalone clarification or part of a broader digital-asset package.

Legacy Polygon Royalties Contract Exploit Drains $261K Through Reward Logic Flaw

A hacker exploited a legacy Polygon royalties contract, stealing approximately $261,200 in cryptocurrency. Security firm TenArmorAlert identified the attack on June 23. The exploit was made possible by a flaw in the contract's reward calculation logic within the Royal1155LD.beforeLdaTransfer() function. By executing several zero-value transactions, the attacker manipulated reward accounting and token ownership data, artificially inflating balances to enable excessive withdrawals. The attacker also utilized a flash loan to amplify the exploit's profit after repayment. This incident highlights ongoing security risks associated with older, inactive smart contracts that still hold funds, following similar recent exploits. Developers are urged to audit, update, or decommission such legacy deployments to prevent future attacks. The Polygon blockchain's core infrastructure was not compromised.

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.
