Lido DAO: Ethereum's biggest 'Merge' staker soars 400% in July — but technicals flash warning
Lido DAO (LDO) price has skyrocketed by roughly 400% month-to-date to reach $2.22 on July 28, its highest level in over two months.
LDO Mergified
LDO price has benefited majorly due to its association with Ethereum, the leading smart contract platform by total-value-locked (TVL) and market capitalization.
Notably, LDO serves as a governance token inside the Lido DAO ecosystem, a project that offers staking services for Ethereum.
The staking practice allows users to earn passive income without needing to sell their coins. It also helps validate transactions and secure the blockchain. In return, the protocol offers stakers rewards in the form of new tokens minted and fees collected.
