The native token behind the popular Ethereum staking platform Lido Finance has rallied more than 18% over the past 24 hours.
LDO, the 62nd-largest token with a market capitalization of nearly $860 million, is now changing hands at $2.75, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
One of the primary reasons behind today’s bullish price action is likely the successful completion of the final test merge early Thursday morning. The Goerli merge, named after the Ethereum testnet Goerli, is the last test before the mainnet merge expected on September 19.

The merge event will migrate Ethereum, which is currently operating on a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, to a more energy-efficient proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.
Besides improving network efficiency, the upgrade is also expected to increase Ethereum’s transaction speed and better security. Still, there are drawbacks; notably, it will cost users 32 Ethereum, or roughly $60,000 at current prices, to become a network validator.
To get around this hefty sum, Lido has offered retail users a workaround.
Instead of staking $60,000 in Ethereum, Lido lets anyone earn a yield on any amount of Ethereum staked with the platform. At current, Lido offers a 3.9% yield for stakers.
The total value locked (TVL) on Lido Finance holds a total of $8.28 billion, which suggests data from DefiLlama.
Lido has nearly 48,881 unique depositors collectively staking more than 4.14 million Ethereum, according to data from Dune Analytics.
Besides Lido, other leading tokens within the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector include Curve (7.8%), Sushi (10.58%), Compound (8.2%), and Aave (11.95%) have also extended their bullish action over the past 24 hours.
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $229 billion, has also gained 10.58% over the past 24 hours.
Ethereum trades at around $1,885, up 80% over the past 30 days, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Glauber Contessoto rose to crypto fame in 2021 when he became what was believed to be the first “Dogecoin Millionaire”—a title he wore proudly. Now, four years later, he’s claimed the title of “Pepe Millionaire,” while his DOGE stash has dipped slightly below that milestone level. Across six wallets shared and verified with Decrypt, Contessoto now owns approximately $1.116 million of the Ethereum meme coin PEPE. This is in addition to his Dogecoin stash that he has become famous for. Contessoto...
America's biggest crypto exchange Coinbase introduced two new "wrapped" tokens this week, allowing traders to use XRP and Dogecoin on DeFi protocols. By introducing cbDOGE and cbXRP, Coinbase is hoping to address surging demand for cross-chain functionality in the complex DeFi world, the company and industry observers told Decrypt. The exchange is making the new offerings available on its own Ethereum layer-2 Base network. Coinbase holds 1:1 reserves of the underlying assets that back Coinbas...
A month after the Pectra upgrade, key indicators on Ethereum have begun to reveal the promise and pitfalls of the network's most ambitious technical overhaul since the 2022 "merge." One of the major features that the Pectra upgrade brought was expanding the Ethereum blockchain's capacity for handling "blobs," which are units of "ephemeral data storage," helping keep larger amounts of it on the consensus layer, according to a definition from the Protocol developer team. A blob is a dedicated data...
