****Topic of the Day:**** Lido Finance's Liquid Staking Protocol Dominates DeFi Market, Surpassing MakerDAO and AAVE

## Macro at a Glance

The start of the year brought with it a sense of hope for the global economy as European stocks saw a rally on Monday, shaking off some of the turmoil from last year. In contrast, Australian stocks opened unchanged, while futures contracts for the S&P 500 rose slightly by 0.3%. However, not all markets had a positive start to the year, as South Korean stocks fell 0.5% and Brazilian shares tumbled 3.1%. This mixed performance follows the significant swings in the market that occurred in 2022, leading to the worst run for global equities since the financial crisis and a 16% loss in value for bonds, the biggest decline since at least 1990.

As the market continues to fluctuate, the yen has strengthened towards 130 per dollar, a level not seen since June, as the Bank of Japan works to depress yields on government debt. This strengthening of the yen indicates that traders believe the central bank will be forced to reduce its easy policy settings due to rising inflation. Meanwhile, US stocks fell on the last trading day of 2022, causing the S&P 500 to end the year down almost 20%. The tech sector, represented by the Nasdaq 100, was hit particularly hard, losing a third of its value in 2022.

Looking to the East, China ended the year in a major economic slump as business and consumer spending plummeted in December due to the surge of Covid cases in the country. Data from the past weekend revealed that the decline in manufacturing worsened last month, while activity in the service sector saw its largest drop since February 2020. While the virus has likely peaked in some areas and economic activity is beginning to rebound, it is still spreading rapidly throughout the country. IMF Chief Kristalina Georgieva has even warned that one third of the world may be in a recession this year.

As we move forward, investors will be keeping an eye on key data releases, including the China purchasing managers index, Australian house prices, and German unemployment claims, all set to be released today.

U.S. markets were closed on Monday, with trading set to resume today. But just like during Christmas, some active traders moved their activities from TradFi to Crypto which may explain the sudden rise in volatility.

## Topic of the Day: Lido Finance's Liquid Staking Protocol Dominates DeFi Market, Surpassing MakerDAO and AAVE

Lido Finance has experienced impressive growth in the DeFi space, with its total value locked (TVL) now surpassing that of MakerDAO and AAVE. The liquid staking protocol currently has a TVL of $5.9 billion, thanks in part to its model that allows users access to liquid Ether staking without the traditional 32 ETH minimum.

The success of Lido and other staking solutions can be attributed to the demand for yield-bearing instruments following Ethereum's shift to proof-of-stake. In contrast, MakerDAO saw its revenue drop 86% in Q3 of 2022 due to weak loan demand and few liquidations. Lido has reportedly been collecting $1 million in fees per day since October of 2022.
