Lido Price Primed for 30% Surge as TVL Smashes Records During Ethereum’s Bull Run
Lido Finance is riding Ethereum's bullish wave—its Total Value Locked (TVL) just punched through all-time highs, and analysts are eyeing a 30% price jump.
Staking rewards meet market momentum.
The liquid staking protocol’s token looks poised to capitalize as ETH rallies—because nothing fuels crypto like a good old-fashioned FOMO cascade. Traders, meanwhile, are dusting off their ‘number go up’ spreadsheets and pretending they understand macroeconomics.
Just don’t ask what happens when the music stops.

Lido’s TVL hits ATH as protocol weighs buybacks
Lido’s bullish price action comes as the protocol’s total value locked hit an ATH of $41 billion in dollar-denominated TVL, as the team announced 2 days ago. This is particularly significant amid Ethereum ongoing rally, as Lido is an ETH staking protocol that allows users to stake their ETH without locking it up directly on the network.

In the long term, Lido could see a potential bullish catalyst as governance discussions are currently exploring a triggerable LDO buyback mechanism, according to the August 14 Lido Tokenholder Update Call. Lido cofounder Vasiliy Shapovalov proposed implementing “triggerable rails” that would allow stETH to be used for LDO purchases through a system called NEST. He pointed to potential regulatory clarity in the coming weeks and targeted a framework selection within the next 2-3 months. A formal proposal is expected to be published on the Lido forum “in the coming days.”
Af Lido’s Dynamic Buyback Program is implemented, the project WOULD repurchase LDO from the market, reducing circulating supply, which, all else equal, can create upward pressure on Lido price.
