Ethereum-based Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSD) platform Lido DAO (LDO) is leading the altcoin momentum today following its 8% growth to $2.10. The digital currency, known as the native token of the platform that has come through for Ethereum stakers long before the Shapella Upgrade, has been seeing impressive price action lately.

The largest Ethereum staking protocol Lido enabled staked Ethereum withdrawals as the Lido V2 upgrade officially went live on the Ethereum mainnet late Monday. Lido V2 upgrade primarily improves the Ethereum staking experience while increasing decentralization and unstake stETH to withdraw Ethereum (ETH) at a 1:1 ratio.

May 15th marks a new dawn for the Ethereum liquid staking protocol, Lido Finance, as it seeks to launch the highly anticipated V2 update on its platform. According to Lido contributors, the V2 update is its biggest platform update yet and a step in the right direction toward further decentralization in the blockchain industry.

KAVA, the utility token of decentralized blockchain Kava, has been on a strong bullish trend in the last few days. The cryptocurrency maintained this momentum despite the bearish market sentiment in the past week, garnering an impressive 31% price gain.

While the global crypto market capitalization has plunged in the past week, with most coins trading in the red, Bitcoin SV (BSV) bucked the bears. BSV has scored 10% price gains on the weekly chart.

Having survived a week dominated by the bears, the price of Lido DAO (LDO) is on the rise today, tallying a 16% increase in the past 24 hours. This price recovery has left many wondering if the bearish trend is over and whether the bulls might be onto something here.

The crypto market has been on the decline in the last few days even as meme coins like PEPE and LADYS staged staggering price surges. The leading cryptocurrencies by market cap have been the worst hit by the bear market leaving only three major tokens (KAVA, Bitcoin SV, and FLOKI) in the green.

While the rest of the crypto market remained muted over the last day with losses, KAVA has gone against the trend. The cryptocurrency is currently trading in the green with double-digit gains over the last day.

Bitcoin SV has surged 33% over the last 24 hours — while Bitcoin falters as rising transaction fees and chain bloat from Ordinals transactions take hold. Is Bitcoin SV a better Bitcoin?

DeFi staking protocol Lido DAO (LDO) has just experienced its largest network transaction in two years, according to a report by Santiment. The popular on-chain analytics firm states that on May 5, $135 million worth of LDO tokens were transferred from one self-custody wallet to another.
