Logarithm. Capitalization is currently at 107th place (09/08/2026). The price decline from the high is -94%, identical to the previous secondary trend, before pumping up to the long-term channel resistance (almost +800%). The price is practically (possibly still 2-3 months) in the lower minimum zone of the long-term channel's dynamic support. This is the low zone, or near it.

Main trend is a channel (maximum potential around 500-800%).
Secondary trend is a downward channel (potential around 200-300%).
Local trend – descending wedge with possible formation of a horizontal channel (potential around 60-90%).

The time frame is 1 week, to visualize the overall trend and potential, both locally in relation to key zones and in the medium-term and long-term. All key resistance zones from this zone are shown as % for clarity (there is a low probability that the logic of the long-term descending channel will be broken) for building your trading strategy and risk management.

Fundamental. LDO is the governance token of Lido DAO, the largest liquid staking protocol (primarily for Ethereum). Its utility lies in voting on key parameters and managing the treasury, but the token initially has no direct connection to the protocol's revenue distribution.

Investors and their purchase price. Participants: Paradigm, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Coinbase Ventures, Jump Capital, Three Arrows Capital, Dragonfly Capital, and angels (including the founders). Price: The project raised funds through private rounds (including a strategic round in December 2020 and a round in May 2021), where the price for the funds in equivalent was significantly lower than the public peaks (the initial seed round was estimated at approximately $0.05–0.20 per token (these tokens have already been distributed based on the huge profits), but the official exact average figures for private OTC allocations varied).

Unlocks and Issuance.

Unlocks: The main vesting and unlock schedule for funds and the team was completed by 2024. The vast majority (>84–90%) of the total volume has already been unlocked.

Maximum and total supply: 1,000,000,000 LDO.
Circulating Supply: Approximately 840 million tokens
