The crypto market has witnessed several fluctuations, but specific sectors’ resilience within this domain remains attractive. Recently, despite a noticeable dip in the broader crypto market, one area seems poised to touch its peak, demonstrating the potential and adaptability within the crypto ecosystem, per a report. 

Liquid staking, a sector that facilitates rewards for token pledges supporting blockchain operations, shows signs of resurgence. This re-emergence occurs despite an overarching downturn in crypto assets.

Lido (LDO) Price Inks Gains Alongside TVL Rise – What Traders Should Expect

Recovery Amid Crypto Crisis

According to Bloomberg, citing data from DefiLlama, there is a roughly 292% surge in assets secured in liquid staking services, reaching a monumental $20 billion from a low in June 2022. This ascent is all the more significant considering the broader crypto slump during that period.

Bloomberg noted a recovery in liquid staking’s position as “the titan of decentralized finance (DeFi).” Thanks to blockchain-based automated software, this crypto framework enables individuals to trade, borrow, and lend without intermediaries.

Notably, once the crown jewel of DeFi applications, liquid staking has overtaken lending. Protocols specialized in liquid staking, such as Lido and Rocket Pool, witnessed their zenith in April of the previous year.

They amassed assets slightly exceeding $21 billion. However, this momentum was disrupted by the destabilization of TerraUSD, leading to a massive $2 trillion setback in the crypto market.

Despite the gloomy overtones in the crypto sector, where major tokens and a majority of DeFi services are yet to recover from the blows of 2021 and 2022, liquid staking stands out, showcasing a comeback, as seen in the chart below.

Global Regulatory Stance On Staking

Liquid staking plays a pivotal role, especially in the Ethereum blockchain. It offers a mechanism where users can stake their tokens and, in return, receive a liquid token representing their staked amount.

This process allows users to participate in securing the network while maintaining liquidity. Simply put, they can earn staking rewards without locking up their assets, ensuring flexibility and maximizing potential gains.

Kunal Goel, a research analyst at Messari, parallels these services to “the on-chain equivalent of government bonds.” The analyst elaborates that while these aren’t devoid of risks, they exude a comparatively lower risk profile and, thus far, have remained untainted by hacks or exploits.

This resurgence in liquid staking doesn’t go unnoticed and has been juxtaposed with regulatory decisions concerning crypto globally. The US, for instance, has intensified its regulatory lens on the crypto sector, especially on staking products.

Such measures prompted key players like Kraken and Bitstamp to halt their regional staking products. Richard Galvin, co-founder at DACM, noted:

The regulatory crackdown around staking products offered by centralized exchanges has definitely helped liquid staking.

Meet Samuel Edyme, Nickname - HIM-buktu. A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.

Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.

Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.

When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)

Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.

In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.

Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think's probably unfeasible, I've done already a hundredfold.”

PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.
