Lido plans to pre-authorize a maximum of 1.5 million USD in LDO and a market-making budget of 480,000 USDC to reduce the risk of delisting from CEX

A proposal from the Lido governance forum aims to authorize a conditional LDO centralized exchange liquidity provision plan to reduce the risk of LDO trading pairs deteriorating or being delisted due to insufficient liquidity. The plan may provide up to $1.5 million worth of retrievable LDO inventory from the Lido DAO treasury (with a cap of 7.5 million LDO), and additionally allocate up to 480,000 USDC for fixed service fees and related costs for a maximum of 12 months.

This authorization will expire if not activated within two years and will only be initiated when the Lido Growth Committee determines that CEX liquidity is insufficient or may become insufficient. The forum disclosed that the average daily trading volume of LDO over the past 90 days was approximately $34 million, down from $43.8 million in the previous 90 days and about $95.4 million during the same period in 2025. The proposal emphasizes that the plan aims to maintain bilateral liquidity and the continuous listing of trading pairs, is not intended for price manipulation, and currently does not specify any particular market makers or exchanges.
