Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs) have been a continuing trend throughout this year as
investors look for ways to utilize their staked ETH for transacting, trading, or yield. Notably, there has been a surge in new LSD companies and platforms targeting both retail and institutional users such as node operators. Some of these institutional products include protocols and tooling built specifically for validators and developers. As the space continues to mature, we can expect further innovations and a wider array of LSD offerings to cater to various investor needs.
