Analysis

Lido's stETH dominance strengthened to $28B TVL as Ethereum staking participation increased to 32% of total supply. The Community Staking Module launched in January 2026, allowing smaller operators to participate and improving decentralization. Annual revenue exceeded $1.2B from staking commissions, with $240M distributed to LDO holders. However, regulatory scrutiny increased with the SEC requesting information about staking derivatives. The protocol faces competition from native restaking protocols like EigenLayer.
