Lido DAO is voting on a proposal to use 10,000 stETH, valued at approximately $20 million, to repurchase LDO tokens on the open market. This move comes as LDO prices hover near historical lows, trading around $0.31, with the LDO/ETH ratio 63% below its two-year median. The buyback aims to acquire about 70 million LDO, representing 8.5% of the circulating supply, in a bid to stabilize the token's value.
The proposal, submitted on March 27, suggests executing the buyback in stages to minimize market impact, using tranches of 1,000 stETH. This strategic move is seen as a confidence signal amidst declining revenues, which fell 23% in 2025. Critics highlight that whale wallets have offloaded 80 million LDO since October 2025, raising concerns about the token's future stability.
