Over the weekend, the stETH pools have collectively shot up to over $32M of liquidity, thanks to a series of rapid fire deposits.
The whales as it seems, are setting up camp in the #LSD pools 🐳
0xa83 in particular have exclusively focused its position in LSD pools, totaling ~$4M of liquidity across the 3 stETH pools:
💧$1M in stETH (2023)
💧$1M in stETH (2024)
💧$2M in stETH (2023)
On top of that, the user also added another ~$1M into the sfrxETH pool.
With this, 0xa83 is now on track to earn ~$1.27M across all of its positions upon maturity.
Of course, 0xa83 was only one of many, with quite a few more sizable provisions cropping up over the past few days too.
Case in point for stETH (2025):
But why LP?

Since its launch the ankrETH-WETH pool on Pendle has been steadily growing, contributing over 1.828 ETH or ~62% of the total liquidity in the Aura pool to date 🔥
How does this work? Any liquidity provided on Pendle is also liquidity provided to the underlying pool.
@ankrstaking team was also one of the very first protocol participants in the Pendle ecosystem.
By locking $PENDLE, teams are able to leverage up to 2.23x in voting efficiency to direct incentives.
Any value, liquidity generated goes right back to powering the flywheel
With just $10,000, a Pendle user is now earning yield from $158,957, effectively leveraging capital 159x with zero liquidation risks.
But here's the best thing, anyone can do it too 🔥
Earlier today, the Implied Yield for newly listed @StargateFinance USDT pool onArbitrum sat at ATL of 4.19%, way below the actual APY of Stargate USDT at 5.84%.
Refresher - Implied Yield is the "price" of YT. The lower it is, the cheaper YT is.
This was the point of entry.
With 10,000 $USDT, the user initiated a transaction to purchase 158,957 YT-USDT.
1 YT-USDT gives you the right to collect yield generated by 1 USDT, which means this user just bought the rights to collect yield generated by a $158,957 position.
