With the Ethereum Proof-of-Stake merge course of headlining the week, all eyes are on the biggest smart-contracts platform on this planet proper now – some information being exceedingly constructive, but additionally some not a lot. Of specific concern is staked Lido Staked Ether (stETH), i.e. tokens representing a declare on Ether (ETH) staked within the mainnet beacon chain in anticipation of the “actual” merge. The stETH token is a method to offer some utility to this otherwise-immobile ETH, enabling transferability and different makes use of throughout the ecosystem.
Nonetheless, a doable liquidity crunch and dive in demand for stETH might ship some lending platforms (each centralized and decentralized) right into a promoting frenzy, in the same method to a standard bank-run. On the heart of the priority lies Celsius – one of many largest holders of stETH, sadly additionally in the midst of insolvency rumors.

Add to this a doable delay to the mainnet merge and worth discovery for stETH that doesn’t fairly match the precise worth of ETH, and we have now some decently-justified worries to deal with.
