In February 2023, the LIDO token dropped by 33%+ without any reason. Furthermore, $LDO kept sliding down till September 2023, damaging investors.

A recent Blockworks report outlined the reported level of control that a few large Lido token holders may have over the protocol and the cryptocurrency ecosystem. According to the report, Lido is “approaching 33% market dominance,” leading to worry about centralization.

Legal professionals have already launched an investigation into possible market manipulation. If successful, it could pave the way for affected investors to claim potential compensation.
