The SEC's announcement that the liquid staking activities of crypto assets are not securities essentially serves as a "long wick candle" for domestic platforms, institutions, and users in the United States, meaning they can now participate in the LDO ecosystem with greater peace of mind and freedom. The main concern previously was whether it would touch upon securities law issues, but now that the matter has been definitively settled, it is equivalent to loosening their restraints.

For the entire DeFi industry, there may be more protocols willing to integrate stETH in the future, not only because it is a derivative of mainstream assets, but also because compliance risks have decreased. In this case, centralized exchanges and even traditional financial technology platforms have more reasons to list or support Lido, potentially bringing a new wave of capital flow.
From Lido's own perspective, this is essentially an official stamp of approval: the design concept is fine, and the model is O.K. For them, it's not only a favorable aspect of compliance, but more importantly, it opens the gateway to the United States, the largest capital market. In the long run, whether it's user growth or ecological innovation, it will be a strong driving force.
Whether from a short-term or long-term perspective, it is a positive outlook.
