Listen to Kean Gilbert on CopperCasts in this latest episode on ‘Staked ETH, ETPs and Yield'.

In this episode of CopperCasts, we’re joined by Kean Gilbert, Head of Institutional Relations at Lido.

Discover the evolving landscape of crypto, with a spotlight on liquid staking and Lido's role in the ecosystem. This timely conversation comes as the U.S. SEC issued a landmark clarification that liquid staking is to be treated as custodial function not as a securities offering. This episode unpacks the advantages of liquid staking, Lido’s unique position in the market, and how institutions are approaching staked ETH deployment.

The conversation also navigates operational hurdles, governance structures, and the regulatory outlook for staked ETH ETFs. They explore what’s next for Lido, emerging innovations in DeFi, and shifting institutional dynamics across digital assets.
