Introducing Lido V3: Ethereum Staking Infrastructure Advancing Ethereum staking with stVaults. https://lnkd.in/dZPWP8rZ

In 2025, institutions are increasingly turning to ETH staking—but not all solutions align with their security preferences and risk strategies. Liquid staking with Lido checks all the boxes. Here’s why: ✔️ Traditional staking locks capital and delays withdrawals, limiting liquidity. Lido liquid staking allows competitive staking rewards while maintaining liquidity via stETH—$10b+ already used as DeFi collateral. ✔️ stETH adoption allows enhanced returns, enabling DeFi access across multiple integrations, diversifying holdings and optimizing asset deployment with 100+ projects within the Lido ecosystem. ✔️ The Lido middleware is open-source software without major security incidents since the launch in 2020. Lido V3 adds another level of security and control for stakers providing access to stETH security and liquidity through customizable staking setups, especially required by institutions.

As staking sees wider institutional adoption, stETH, the liquid staking token powered by the Lido protocol, is poised to bridge the gap to traditional finance through ETFs and similar products, all while contributing to Ethereum’s strength and resilience." -- Kean Gilbert More information here: https://lnkd.in/dfnP2Qzs

The world of exchange-traded products (ETPs) is evolving rapidly, driven by demand for innovation, rewards and accessibility.

In case you missed it: See the following case study for a comparison of different collateral types when selling ETH call options: USD (fiat), ETH (native token), and stETH (liquid staking token) completed in collaboration with Wintermute. Key takeaway: The case study illustrates how liquid staking tokens can provide higher total payoff in certain trades and (alongside native tokens) result in a smaller operational burden on margin management.
