In this video, I discuss Ethereum liquid staking solutions like Lido and Rocket Pool, in the context of the SEC's crackdown on Kraken's "staking as a service."
Many people in the Ethereum community fail to grasp how centralized both Lido and Rocket are. Most of the governance tokens are controlled by VC's and insiders who get to pick the node operators and ensure that OFAC censorship of transactions and blocks is carried out by these operators.
The fact that ConsenSys not only owns Infura and Metamask, but is also the main investor in Rocket Pool is the icing on the cake. Joe Lubin, as an Ethereum co-founder, has tremendous power over the entire Ethereum ecosystem-- which gives the lie to ETH's claims of decentralization.
If Ethereum is ever forced to file disclosures with the SEC, we can guess that it will be quite the ship show.
