On October 30, 
Lido DAO's treasury revenue soared to $605,320, a substantial increase from its seven-day median of $94,740, according to DefiLlama data cited by The Cryptonomist.
The spike was largely driven by 
Ethereum execution-layer rewards, which have become a significant component of Lido's staking-fee income. This underscores the DAO's reliance on Ethereum staking as a primary revenue source.
Despite the impressive revenue spike, the next daily treasury distribution was notably smaller, indicating the volatility of staking rewards as a revenue stream.
Lido's total value locked (TVL) currently stands at $21.86 billion, according to DeFiLlama, marking a 4.5% decline over the past week. This suggests that while staking activity remains strong, market conditions may be affecting overall growth.
In the broader market context, Ethereum is trading at $2249.65, up 1.41% in the last 24 hours, while Lido's native token LDO is at $0.333976, showing a slight 0.87% increase in the same period. The overall crypto market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.67 trillion and a Fear & Greed Index of 30, indicating a 'Fear' sentiment.

The chart plots ETH's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ETH ≈ ₹234,642.73 (about $2,266.97), up 0.9% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 8.9% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
