Giant @LidoFinance is SHUTTING DOWN liquid staking for $DOT on $GLMR.🤯

While this is bad for $LDO, you can easily capitalize on this opportunity.

Besides $ETH Shanghai upgrade, @BifrostFinance positioned itself to gain this market share as well. $BNC

A quick thread 🧵
1️⃣Reasons:

Lido and @MixBytes stated:

⚠️ Unsustainability
⚠️ Slow protocol adoption
⚠️ Current market conditions
⚠️ Lack of liquidity in @Polkadot DeFi ecosystem
⚠️ $ETH is given more priority than $DOT and $KSM

So the question comes:
Who will benefit from $DOT liquidity?🤔
2️⃣How bad is this?

$LDO is a liquid staking giant.

It's a leader on most chains it deployed.

Currently, they have 3,3M $DOT staked.
This is worth $20M.

All this liquidity will have to go somewhere.
Your goal should be to position yourself for this transition.

Here's how:
3️⃣Potential winners

We'll exclude liquidity pools and lending platforms that give small APY.

Also, staking alone is complex and requires constant monitoring.

Let's focus only on liquid staking solutions:

@StaFi_Protocol $FIS
@BifrostFinance $BNC
@AcalaNetwork $ACA
4️⃣Comparison

Let's compare the most important metrics:

✅ TVL
✅ APY
✅ Market cap
✅ $DOT staked

We clearly see $FIS is the worst performer...

In terms of metrics, it doesn't have any advantages over the other two.

Let's narrow it down to only $BNC and $ACA👇
5️⃣Comparison

We can see that $ACA beats $BNC in every metric.

However, $BNC is well positioned for $ETH Shanghai upgrade while $ACA isn't.

To not conclude the winner too quickly, let's look at liquid $DOT charts:⬇️
6️⃣ $DOT Staked

Stats from the last 30 Days:📊

• $vDOT from $BNC is on a rapid incline
• $LDOT (volume)from $ACA is on a constant decline

$DOT from $LDO is surely flowing into $BNC.

*Found only volume stats for $LDOT*

Now, this is where $BNC really shines👇
7️⃣ $LDO vs $BNC

$BNC has higher:

•APY
•Base APY
•30d avg. APY

At 414x smaller Market cap!🤯

It's unlikely it will flip $LDO, but the stats are amazing.
8️⃣ $BNC Roadmap

Roadmap looks nice:

✅ $BNC 2.0
✅ $vETH 2.0
✅ Bifrost <> Ethereum XCM Bridge
✅ New LSDs like $ASTR, $ATOM, $FIL
✅Zk-rollup Layer2 vToken👀

9️⃣Are you too late?

I don't think so.

LSD narrative is hot again.

Shanghai upgrade is just around the corner-April.

Phase 1 just started-deposits no longer accepted.
Unbonding will be enforced in June this year.

Official termination should be done until August.
1️⃣0️⃣This is not financial advice

This is an example of how you should do your research.
Don't rely on influencers.

Position yourself for gains.
Opportunities are everywhere.

Just be open-minded to spot them.

Act responsibly.

Here is a summary of what happened on-chain, in under 5 min.⏳

A short thread you can't afford to miss🧵
1️⃣ @DefiLlama

$ARB climbed to 3rd place among all chains by fees accrued.👀

Notice that $UNI flipped $ETH and took 1st place.🤯

In times of volatility like this,perp DEXs are money printers.

In the summer of 2022. everyone was talking about $GMX and their $GLP innovation.

This summer everyone will talk about $LVL and $LGO innovation.

Why you should profit from the only real @GMX_IO competitor.

Short🧵 Image
@GMX_IO 1️⃣Perpetual DEXs exploded due to centralized exchanges' bad reputation.
Some of the well-known collapses were:

•FTX
•Celsius
•Voyager

This opened door to DEXs which offer you trading from your wallet,without KYC.

If you don't know what $LVL is, read this short thread first:
@GMX_IO 2️⃣ Power of $LVL lies in their $LGO

$LGO is not just a governance token.

It's your direct access to LEVEL DAO Treasury.

You can redeem your $LGO for DAO funds at any time.
But, this burns $LGO forever.

With a limited supply of only 1000, $LGO is becoming scarce every day.

The recent @coinbase decision to launch a new L2 @BuildOnBase just showed us what the future of DeFi will look like.👀

While influencers are copy-pasting boring and useless technical stuff from blogs, we'll discuss only what matters.⚠️

How to maximalize your profit from this:🧵 Image
Last year, we have seen a boom in L2s.
This announcement will make them even stronger.

Today, you won't learn unuseful:❌

•Techincal stuff
•TPS comparison
•FEE comparison

But, you'll learn how to analyze the crypto market to make generational wealth.💰

BONUS at the end🤫🎁
1/ Why L2 and not L1?🤔

@coinbase could have launched a new L1, but they chose L2.

Why?

Could they finally win a battle against @binance and their BSC $BNB?

In my opinion YES.

Here's why:👇 Image
