Blackrock's BUIDL has increased by 45% ($50M) on 26 March, from $110M to $160M
With the growth of BUIDL, we are likely to see a $1B tokenized US Treasury Market very soon

$3B Tokenized US Treasuries by the end of 2024?
We are seeing a trend of DeFi Project's DAO diversifying their treasury to RWAs, including stablecoins and Tokenized US Treasuries.
With the maturity of tokenized US treasuries, over 15+ products on EVM Chains, and close to $2B
Interest-bearing Stablecoin is on the rise
Currently, it only accounts for 1.5% of the total stablecoin market cap on Ethereum.
The most popular Interest-Bearing Stablecoin includes sDAI from

Why USDR depegged despite being fully backed: Using Illiquid asset backing liquid Asset
- USDR is 100% backed. 50% of them come from stablecoins and the remaining comes from Real-Estate
- When there is a bank-run (Huge Redemption of USDR), the Stablecoin liquidity in the
An update on $USDR
Over a short period of time, all of the liquid $DAI from the $USDR treasury was redeemed.
This lead to an accelerated drawdown in the market cap.

is quite smart
They have processed 446k $ETH withdrawals without exiting a single validator.
By stacking up daily deposits (0 ETH Staked from 13-17 May), partial withdrawals+execution layer reward, they had 450k+ ETH Buffer
Celsius just sent 428k $stETH to
@LidoFinance
to request $ETH withdrawal
Lido Buffer: 448k ETH
$stETH Pending to Withdraw: 441.5k ETH
Remaining Buffer: 6.5k ETH
Celsius alone contributes to 96.8% of the total $stETH withdrawal request
Celsius is Leading the way in $ETH Staking Deposit.
- 192k ETH Staked through their own staking pool
- 99k Staked via Figment
Remaining: 137k ETH
- 96k in Wallet used to deposit to Figment
- 32k in $stETH Withdrawal wallet
- 6k in Celsius Staking Pool Wallet
Celsius just sent 222k $ETH from their $stETH withdrawal address to their own ETH Staking Pool
If they stake all 428k ETH via their staking pool, it will become the 7th largest entity in $ETH Staking with 586k ETH Staked, excluding unknown

Update on Ethereum Staking
1. The Churn Limit has Increased to 13 per Epoch
The number of validators on Ethereum reached 854k on 10 Oct. As a result, the activation limit and exit limit per epoch have increased from 12 to 13, which means ~2,925 validators can exit or withdraw
It will only take less than 5 Days to clear the Activation Queue on Ethereum
Below will answer the questions of:
- Why is the activation queue dropping
- Current Activation Queue
- Is EIP-7514 Urgent
- Potential Ramifications of EIP-7514
Currently, there are ~13,200 Validators
