The State of LST/LRT Capital Markets

Current challenges in LST/LRT markets include:

Key Issues

  • Inefficient capital markets lead to underutilized assets
  • Portfolio management complexity of DeFi strategies, protocols, and staking options limits broader adoption
  • Traditional protocols fail to generate sustainable ETH-on-ETH yield
  • Reliance on inflationary token incentives undermines long-term capital efficiency

Impact
