Ethereum liquid restaking TVL surges from 4M to B in 2024

Coin Telegraph

While liquid restaking provides more utility for staked tokens, it also comes with its own risks, like the depegging and price volatility for derivative tokens.

Ethereum liquid restaking protocols saw their total value locked (TVL) increase by almost 6,000% in 2024, as the demand for staked asset utility increased this year.

On Jan. 1, decentralized finance (DeFi) data aggregator DefiLlama showed that Ethereum’s liquid restaking TVL used to be around $284 million. After almost a year, the amount surged almost sixty times, reaching $17.26 billion on Dec. 15.

October 19, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

Some top LSTs have previously seen price deviations of up to 77% from Ether’s price due to mass sell-offs paired with liquidations on leveraged lending protocols.

The $45 billion liquid staking sector is raising concerns among investors over the long-term price stability of cryptocurrencies tied to these protocols.

Liquid staking creates more capital efficiency for investors by offering an equivalent of the initial staked token that can be deployed in other decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.

However, liquid staking tokens (LSTs) could temporarily lose their price peg to Ether (ETH), according to Carlos Mercado, a data scientist at Flipside Crypto research firm.
