In the wake of Donald Trump’s recent election win, decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens, particularly Uniswap ($UNI) and Lido DAO ($LDO), are seeing notable gains as investor sentiment turns positive.
Both tokens, which previously faced scrutiny from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with Wells Notices indicating possible regulatory action, are now benefiting from the market’s perception of a more crypto-friendly administration under Trump.
This shift in sentiment has led to a broad rally within the DeFi space, as analysts suggest that expectations for pro-crypto policies are driving confidence.

LDO Token Price Action To Monitor
After enduring nearly a year of downward trends and three months of stagnant prices, LDO recorded a sharp increase of over 50% in a single day, reflecting renewed interest and momentum in the token. In a significant move, the crypto investment firm Paradigm transferred a large amount of LDO for the first time after this recent surge. The firm moved 8.18 million LDO, valued at approximately $11.29 million, to Coinbase Prime just three hours ago.
Paradigm’s involvement with LDO dates back to May 2021 when they initially acquired 70 million LDO tokens from the Lido Treasury via an OTC transaction at a price of $0.76 per token. This recent transfer to Coinbase represents the firm’s first movement of LDO since their initial investment and likely signals a strategic response to the current market rally.

As the DeFi sector experiences this uplift, investors remain optimistic about the potential regulatory landscape under Trump’s administration, which may encourage further growth across decentralized platforms.
This recent price action in UNI, LDO, and other DeFi tokens highlights the market’s readiness to embrace policies that support crypto innovation and adoption. The surge in these tokens may well set the stage for a revitalized DeFi market in the months ahead.
