With the crypto economy experiencing significant gains over the past week and the price of ethereum rising 11.9%, the market capitalization of Lido\u2019s staked ether has increased to $10.3 billion. This recent increase has propelled the token\u2019s overall market valuation to the ninth-largest position, according to the crypto market capitalization aggregation website coingecko.com.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lido Finance\u2019s TVL Dominates Defi with a 21.59% Share<\/h2>\n

The value of liquid staking tokens associated with ethereum (ETH<\/a>) has increased significantly over the last week following ether\u2019s 11.9% gains against the U.S. dollar. In particular, Lido\u2019s staked ethereum token, STETH, now has a market capitalization above the $10 billion range, reaching $10.36 billion on Monday, March 20, 2023. According to coingecko statistics, STETH\u2019s market valuation now ranks ninth, with dogecoin\u2019s (DOGE) market capitalization holding the tenth position.<\/p>\n

Above STETH is the market valuation of polygon (MATIC) at $10.42 billion. Currently, there is a circulating supply of around 5.8 million STETH, and over the past 24 hours, the token has recorded $22.35 million in global trades. The most active exchanges dealing with STETH on Monday are Bybit, Gate.io, and Huobi. STETH has gained 12.4% this week and 4.6% over the past 30 days.<\/p>\n

Currently, Lido Finance\u2019s website estimates that STETH stakers are receiving around a 5.9% annual percentage rate (APR) by staking the token. At the time of writing, Lido is the largest decentralized finance (defi) protocol out of the $49.01 billion total value locked (TVL) on Monday. Lido\u2019s TVL accounts for 21.59% of the entire amount of value locked in defi. In the last seven days, defillama.com statistics show that Lido\u2019s TVL has increased by 8.9%, and over 30 days, it has grown by 17.07%.<\/p>\n

Defillama.com explains that on Monday, 7.83 million ETH<\/a> worth $13.98 billion is staked in liquid staking protocols today. Lido\u2019s STETH represents 74.51% of the aggregate. Coinbase\u2019s Wrapped Ether token protocol has $2.1 billion in total value locked, or 1.16 million Ethereum. It is the second-largest liquid staking project in terms of TVL.<\/p>\n

While STETH is shown on coingecko.com as the ninth-largest coin by market cap, this is not the case with other crypto market aggregation sites like coinmarketcap.com. Because it\u2019s a synthetic version of Ether, some crypto market aggregation sites do not include STETH in the top ten, despite its capitalization size.<\/p>\n
