Lido, the liquid-staking protocol, captured just 5.7% of Ethereum’s net staking growth in the first half of 2026. For holders of its LDO token, the business challenge is to turn a growing market into DAO income that can fund automated purchases.The gap is visible in NEST, Lido’s automated buyback mechanism. At 00:00 UTC on Sept. 9, the contract that releases funds for purchases recorded a negative cumulative budget of about $517,024 and skipped an allocation. Its negative budget measured a deficit in calculated buyback capacity. Funding was already in place, while the rules required more cumulative surplus before a purchase…

Product revenue fell to $13.6 million from $42.9 million in the first quarter.

Bitcoin holders who need cash do not necessarily have to sell their BTC. They can borrow against it instead, keeping exposure to Bitcoin while using its value as collateral for a loan.The complication is that the loan they want may exist on another network. Many blockchain lending applications run on Ethereum, which keeps its own record of who owns what. A Bitcoin owner’s BTC is recorded on Bitcoin’s network, and an Ethereum application cannot simply reach over and take it as collateral.One solution is to entrust the Bitcoin to a custodian, a business that holds it for safekeeping, and receive…

Mining services firm Luxor estimates that about 235 exahashes per second (EH/s) of capacity in specialized Bitcoin mining machines is sitting idle.Its Sept. 8 report puts that equipment in several categories: machines that are uneconomic, deliberately curtailed, in transit, or under maintenance. Their different reasons for switching off make a rebound in hashrate an ambiguous signal of recovery from financial distress.August’s Bitcoin rally improved the revenue available from mining, while Texas’s summer window for avoiding peak-related transmission charges runs through September.Either route can eventually add competition for the miners that stayed online. The revenue recovery that encourages a restart may…

Bitcoin held near $78,500 on Sept. 8 as the Japanese yen touched its strongest level since February, leaving BTC inside its recent trading range while investors cut bets against Japan’s currency.The yen reached 152.89 per dollar during Asian trading before retreating to 154.14, easing part of the currency pressure ahead of the Bank of Japan’s Sept. 17-18 meeting. A stronger yen can squeeze investors who borrowed it to buy foreign assets, potentially prompting sales across their portfolios.The question is whether Bitcoin’s buyers can keep absorbing supply if Japanese funding becomes more expensive and investors reduce risk across their portfolios.ETF inflows…
