Universe-based step governance token, STRD, is up 330% year-to-date, Cryptocurrency scrgruppen

Cosmos-based Stride has been in action lately. According to a recent report by Nansen, the protocol currently controls more than 80% of the market share within the Cosmos ecosystem.

Despite a prolonged market-wide downtrend, Stride’s governance token – STRD – is up 330% year-to-date. STRD has outperformed both Ethereum (ETH) as well as the Lido token (LDO) in price performance since the beginning of the year. The latter happens to be a competitor to Stride and a leader in the liquid rationing derivatives (LSD) space.

The entropy-based step outperforms ether and LDO

In a joint report with CryptoPotatoNansen revealed that the market value of STRD is approximately $72.29 million and the market value of FDV is $82.58 million, making the FDV/TVL ratio just 2.1.

Its analysis suggests that STRD may be undervalued given its true return revenue stream towards STRD’s stakeholders, its new mechanisms for capturing value through transaction fees, MEV, as well as other near-term catalysts that increase Stride’s addressable market into the billions.

However, the token’s surge beyond Ether and LDO can be attributed to the recently launched Liquid Saging module which enabled ATOM contributors to store their ATOM instantly without any staking periods.

Meanwhile, Stride’s total value locked (TVL) has also seen significant growth this year, having only accelerated since the launch of liquid storage on Cosmos Hub, according to the blockchain analytics platform.

Data DeFiLama shows that Stride currently boasts a TVL worth $36.94 million, with ATOM representing nearly 80% of these tokens.
