What Happened: Apex cryptocurrency Bitcoin BTC/USD gained 3.53% over the past seven days and managed to breach the $17,000 mark while Ethereum ETH/USD rose 9.17% and Dogecoin DOGE/USD soared 7.69% during the same period.
As the largest liquid staking platform for Ethereum, Lido Finance, the company behind Lido DAO is responsible for nearly 30% of all staked ETH tokens. Since the Ethereum network transitioned from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake back in 2022, the demand for the platform has skyrocketed.
The upcoming "Shanghai fork" ushers in a new era of staking, allowing users to withdraw their staked ETH tokens with ease.
Solana SOL/USD gained 63.47% in the past seven days. The rise can be attributed to Solana developers launching a new, Shiba Inu-themed BONK coin BONK/USD, created to rival SHIB SHIB/USD.
Optimism recorded a 43.90% spike, while Zilliqa came in next, gaining 39.96%, and Ethereum Classic rose 36.12% in the past seven days.
