btw we hit $1B in TVL yesterday and dont plan on slowing down any time soon — expecting this to only continue to accelerate

LsETH has reached $1,000,000,000 in ETH staked.

This milestone is a testament to the trust of our stakers, the strength of our LsETH Platforms, Operators, and Custodians, and the security of the network.

You are the "Collective" in Liquid Collective. Thank you for building with https://t.co/ubWNvdaHMr

definitely positive

have done enough work to be able to explain it in laymans terms successfully (staking=escrow, LST=warehouse receipt, etc.), and the context that ive been here for 5+ years gave me some ethos

will make a whole lot more sense to everyone in a few months when Liquid Collective is $5B+ in assets. 

tried to steer the conversation away from personal allocation and more on the tech/use cases

tough to obfuscate that when you spend the weekend, follow on questions were plentiful

nothing better than meeting your girlfriend’s parents for the first time and telling them, “I work in crypto”.

how do the rest of you all handle this??

I previously managed pension funds for some of the world’s largest institutions. From an asset class perspective, I came to the realization that liquid staked cryptoassets may offer the most compelling position on the Markowitz frontier—essentially, liquid venture with a yield.

At Alluvial, we’re building the secure, compliant, and enterprise-grade infrastructure needed to bring these assets into institutional portfolios.

With the SEC’s recent guidance, we’re now meaningfully closer to making that vision a reality.

Staked ETH ETFs next, followed by guidance on LSTs

So who is going to go on Bloomberg and be the spokesperson for "Liquid Venture w/ a Coupon"?

Allocators everywhere would raise eyebrows.
