Lido Finance has introduced Lido Institutional, a new liquidity staking solution. It is intended for larger clients including exchanges, asset managers, and custodians. The goal of the middleware solution is to preserve the liquidity and utility needed for various institutional strategies, while simultaneously offering enterprise-grade security and dependability.
At present, Lido Finance holds the highest share of all liquid staking protocols, accounting for over 28.5% of all ETH that is staked. According to the company, Lido Institutional offers the liquidity and usefulness needed for a range of institutional strategies together with the dependability and security required for enterprise-grade staking.
Lido Institutional was introduced after recent alliances with infrastructure suppliers. Lido partnered with Taurus in February, and during the EthCC event in July, it revealed an interface with Fireblocks. Now both companies are available on Lido Institutional’s website as custodial options.
With the 2020 launch of Lido Finance, users can avoid the minimum of 32 ETH needed for direct network staking by staking any amount of ETH as part of a pool and earning incentives. Additionally, users can use their Lido Staked ETH (STETH) for other purposes. A 10% charge on staking rewards is collected by the protocol and distributed to the DAO treasury and node operators.
Lido is facing regulatory obstacles in the US, despite its increasing popularity. Lido and rival Rocket Pool are purportedly selling unregistered securities, according to a June complaint filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Consensys.
Despite the fact that neither Lido nor Rocket Pool has submitted a registration statement for these purported investment contracts, the SEC contended that investors purchase ETH in the hopes of profiting from their endeavors.
