$LDO Plummets Amid SEC Allegations Against MetaMask and LidoFinance

In the last 24 hours, $LDO experienced a significant drop, hitting a low of $1.85, down by 21%, and is currently trading at $1.99.

Recent data from AI Chat highlights substantial whale outflows in the past day, matching the outflow levels seen over the past week.

This heavy selling pressure is reflected in the bearish sentiment across various candlestick charts, including the 1-hour, 4-hour, 1-day, and 3-day timeframes.

LDO Price Volatility Influenced By Recent SEC Crackdown On MetaMask

The decline comes on the heels of allegations made by the SEC against MetaMask, specifically targeting its Stake feature associated with LidoFinance (LDO) and Rocket Pool (RPL). The SEC accuses ConsenSys, MetaMask’s parent company, of conducting unregistered transactions involving staked (st) tokens on the MetaMask Stake platform.

In response, ConsenSys has challenged the SEC’s authority, arguing that the regulator lacks sufficient jurisdiction over interface software like MetaMask.

The company has vowed to fight the allegations vigorously, underscoring the potential implications for its future Web3 initiatives.
