What is Lido DAO?
Lido is a liquid staking protocol for PoS networks that lets users stake any amount of tokens for daily staking rewards, all without locking assets or maintaining dedicated infrastructure. The solution offered by Lido eliminates many inconveniences associated with self-staking, as it doesn’t require expert knowledge and complex and costly equipment. Currently, the protocol supports staking for Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Polkadot and Kusama. Lido has its native token LDO that can be used for participating in Lido DAO voting, granting governance rights in the Lido DAO and governing the addition and removal of Lido node operators.

Lido DAO price prediction 2023
The current market sentiment is full of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (commonly known by the acronym FUD), as fears of FTX contagion mount. At the moment, it’s difficult to assess exactly how much damage has FTX collapse has done to the crypto industry, since some affected crypto companies may be already secretly insolvent due to highly leveraged positions, as we have seen in the aftermath of Terra's implosion.
According to our estimates, it will take months for the full scale of FTX bankruptcy to become clear, so the turning point for the crypto market won’t come before late Q1 to early Q2 2023, although for now, it seems that the industry has absorbed most of the damage.
Another market factor that should be taken into consideration is how successful will be the U.S. Federal Reserve’s efforts to curb inflation. For now, there is reason to believe that Fed is making some progress in its attempts to cool the overheating economy — on November 30, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced it’s time to slow the pace of coming rate hikes, which immediately triggered a positive reaction from both crypto and equity markets.
Given the above information, one can easily guess that there will be a considerable divergence between bullish and bearish Lido DAO 2023 price predictions due to multiple unknown factors. For this reason, we estimate that the bullish scenario will see Lido DAO price at $3.16 to $3.89. On the flip side, a fading interest in the new meme coin may push the price of Lido DAO to $1.15-$0.45 lows.
