Putting the global crypto market\u2019s ubiquitous downward trend aside, Lido Finance (LDO) token has been moving in a bearish direction over the past week. While the universal bearish trend could have contributed to <\/span>LDO’s downward trend<\/span><\/a> in the past week, research proves it\u2019s more than that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Over the past week, LDO has recorded a sharp decline in price, falling by 22.4% from a high above $3 as of March 3 to as low as $2.35 at the time of writing. According to Coinmarketcap, more than $500 million has been removed from its market cap over the same period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Lido\u2019s recent <\/span>fall in value<\/span><\/a> can be attributed to the recent announcement<\/a> of Mixbytes, a development team to Lido Finance, disclosing the ending of its support for liquid staking on Polkadot and Kusama.<\/span><\/p>\n This announcement has seen most liquid stakers of Polkadot and Kusama withdrawn from the Lido Finance protocol, therefore, affecting both its total value locked (TVL) and native token\u2019s price negatively. In the past 7 days, Lido\u2019s TVL has plummeted alongside LDO price, falling by 5.7%, according to <\/span>DeFilama<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Mixbytes stated it will no longer \u201cdevelop and technically support\u201d Lido on Polkadot and Kusama from August 1.
