Is Lido’s Staking Share Drowning? Find Out If LDO Can Swim Back to Profit! 🏊‍♂️💸

by
  • Oh dear, Lido has lost 9% in the ETH staked market while Ether Fi is strutting around with a 30% gain. Talk about a glow-up! 💁‍♀️
  • Ether Fi token is like that overachieving friend who always has more upside potential than LDO. Ugh, can we just not? 🙄

So, Lido [LDO] has taken a bit of a tumble in Ethereum’s [ETH] staking market, losing a hefty chunk to Ether.Fi. Analysts are whispering that if the SEC decides to play nice with DeFi, Lido might just get a second chance at life. Fingers crossed! 🤞

In the first half of 2025, Ether Fi’s staked ETH skyrocketed by 30%, while Lido decided to take a leisurely decline of 9%. Thanks for the update, Tom Wan, Head of Data at Entropy Advisors! 🙃

In the past month, Ether Fi has been the star of the show with 286.3K staked ETH, while Lido was busy losing 182K ETH. Oops! 😬

Surprisingly, this drama unfolds as the overall ETH staking hits a record high. Who knew investors had so much faith in ETH? Maybe they just like the thrill of the rollercoaster! 🎢

Assessing LDO Recovery Potential

On the token market performance, Lido could offer a massive upside if it manages to pull off a miracle rally. Spoiler alert: miracles are rare! 😅

Notably, LDO dropped a staggering 75% in early 2025, plummeting from $2.5 to $0.6. It did manage to recover 60% in Q2, but only 16% (160 million LDO) of the total supply is in profit. Yikes! 😱

But wait, about 840 million LDO supply is still in the red. Should they wait to break even or just throw in the towel? The suspense is killing me! 😩

Further evaluation revealed that the main on-chain resistance is hanging out around $1.5-$1.7, according to IntoTheBlock. Sounds like a party I want to crash! 🎉

Around this zone, about 5.5K addresses bought 167 million LDO, making it a key break-even point for a significant part of the supply. Talk about a hot spot! 🔥

At press time, LDO is trading at $0.96. If it can muster the strength to recover to $1.5, that could mean a potential 53% gain. But let’s be real, Ether Fi might still be the better bet! 💸

According to the Ether Fi/Lido ratio, Ether Fi outperformed LDO by a whopping 130% in May. Ouch! That’s gotta sting! 😬

The ratio has now formed a bull flag pattern, implying a potential 57% relative Ether Fi gain over LDO. Buckle up, folks! 🚀
