Here's How DeFi Protocols Benefit Most With Ethereum Shapella

Ahead of the Shapella upgrade, liquid staking protocols such as Lido, Rocket Pool and Frax Ether have been in major demand. These players also allowed the users to hold Ethereum-based derivatives in a slew of DeFi trading, lending and borrowing apps.

Post the upgrade, Lido pool has seen major inflows with Flax Ether seeing the biggest jump. Over the last week, the total value locked (TVL) for the Flax Ether protocol jumped y a staggering 20%. On the other hand, Rocket Pool saw a 17% increase while Lido experienced a 13% jump.

Henry Elder, head of decentralized finance at Wave Digital Assets said: “It would be people rotating out of centralized exchanges into more decentralized solutions”.

Crypto exchange Kraken which faced the SEC action over its staking services faced massive withdrawals post the Shapella upgrade. At the same time, crypto exchange Coinbase witnessed $28 million more sell orders than buy orders for Ether.

But crypto research platform Kaiko noted that Coinbase’s Wrapped Staked Ether product saw a surge in the total value locked (TVL) during the same period. A Coinbase spokesperson told Bloomberg:

“We can’t comment on or verify third-party data. With that being said, we firmly believe in the utility of liquid-staked tokens following the Shapella upgrade as they allow for deeper integration with the DeFi ecosystem.”

The world’s largest crypto exchange Binance is yet to open the withdrawal of staked Ether on April 19. As per data tracker Nansen, Binance is one of the largest entities awaiting ETH withdrawal.

The decentralized liquid staking platform Lido is the largest and will enable withdrawals in May. Thus, it might see some selling pressure in the coming weeks.

Dogecoin Price Prediction: DOGE Plunges 7% As Experts Say Consider This Innovative Staking Meme Coin For 100X Gains

Image
The Dogecoin price plunged 7% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.1922 as of 2.20 a.m. EST on trading volume that plummeted 23% to $7.56 billion. After surging over the past two days during the US election, the Dogecoin price climbed to $0.21, only for it to then correct back under the resistance at $0.20. The project only reached this height twice in the past year — once in March, and once again in April. However, with the election now officially over, the hype has died down, and prices have corrected. But Dogecoin might prove to be a special case given Trump’s plans to create a new crypto-related department and put Elon Musk — a major DOGE supporter — in charge of it. Recent mentions of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, have fired Dogecoin higher, and so many are likely to keep DOGE in expectation of much greater gains in months and years to come. Dogecoin Price Prediction The Dogecoin price correction in the last 24 hours was fa...

Elon Musk Dogecoin Joke Fails To Ignite DOGE Price Even As Donald Trump Considers Tesla Titan For Public Office

Image
A Dogecoin joke by Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk failed to stem a DOGE slump even as former President Donald Trump said he’d offer him a cabinet post if he re-takes the White House. In an Aug. 20 post on X, Musk said he’s “willing to serve,” along with a picture of him standing at a podium with the words “D.O.G.E. – Department of Government Efficiency.” Following the post, the price of Dogecoin registered a slight 24-hour loss to trade at $0.1046 as of 2:50 a.m. EST, perhaps signaling Musk’s waning influence on the price of the biggest meme coin by market capitalization. Trump Willing To Offer Elon Musk A Cabinet Position Musk’s post came in response to Trump saying that he would offer the Tesla and SpaceX founder a Cabinet position or an advisory role if he gets elected, and assuming Musk was interested. In an interview with Reuters, the Republican nominee said that he would approach Musk for such a position “i...
