On this page you'll find a live, daily-refreshed dashboard tracking Lido Staked Ether across multiple data sources — price history going back several years, on-chain activity where available, fundamentals like circulating supply and dilution, top exchanges by volume, technical analysis using moving averages and RSI, and an algorithmic short, mid and long-term forecast. All figures are pulled from public APIs and cached locally; nothing here is investment advice.

Lido Staked Ether is a cryptocurrency, traded on global digital-asset markets. As a digital asset it can be sent peer-to-peer across the global internet, custodied in cryptocurrency wallets, and traded on exchanges around the world. Its ledger and ownership records are maintained without a central operator — verified, instead, by a distributed network of computers running shared software.

Compared to traditional financial instruments, Lido Staked Ether settles natively on its own blockchain rather than through banks or clearing houses. That gives holders direct custody and 24/7 transferability, but also exposes them to network-level risks: software bugs, governance changes, regulatory shifts, and ordinary market volatility.

How Lido Staked Ether works

Lido Staked Ether operates on a public blockchain. Transactions are settled directly on the network, with ownership recorded against cryptographic addresses rather than personal identities. Anyone with the corresponding private key can spend the coins assigned to that address.

The supply schedule, governance model and core technical parameters of Lido Staked Ether are defined in its software. Changes require coordination across the community of users, validators or miners who actually run the network — there is no central CEO or board.

Tokenomics

Supply schedule & distribution

Circulating vs locked vs unminted
  • Circulating supply: 9.79M STETH — tokens actively trading and held by the public
  • Total supply: 9.79M STETH — all tokens minted to date (including those locked or held by the issuer)

Lido Staked Ether's supply schedule directly affects its long-term inflation rate and, by extension, how dilutive future issuance will be to existing holders. A coin near full dilution behaves very differently from one that still has 60% of its supply waiting to be unlocked.

What is Lido Staked Ether used for?

Lido Staked Ether is used as a digital asset for value transfer, on-chain settlement, and access to the broader cryptocurrency economy. Specific utility depends on the protocol and ecosystem around it.

Market sentiment

Crypto Fear & Greed Index · alternative.me

28
Fear
2026-05-18

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index aggregates volatility, market momentum, social media activity, dominance and Google Trends data into a single 0–100 score updated daily. Today's reading is 28 — Fear.

Extreme fear (below 25) historically signals buying opportunities for contrarians, while extreme greed (above 75) often precedes corrections. The index works best as one input among many, not as a standalone trading signal.

Risks & considerations

All cryptocurrencies carry significant risks. Prices can move 10%, 20% or more in a single trading session. Regulatory enforcement actions, exchange collapses, smart-contract exploits, and on-chain governance disputes can each materially affect token value over short and long horizons. Holders should size positions accordingly and never put in more than they can afford to lose.

Regulatory risk: Crypto remains under active regulatory review in most major jurisdictions. New rules around securities classification, banking access, KYC obligations, or outright trading bans can each materially affect a coin's addressable market and price.

Custody risk: Self-custody puts the responsibility on the holder to keep private keys safe. Exchange custody puts the responsibility on the exchange — which can fail, restrict withdrawals, or be hacked. There is no FDIC-equivalent for crypto.
