Ethereum is gaining value because of the RWAs and the staking that it is offering now. Most of the funds are now using the staked Ethereum too for their investment. These are some of the ways many finance companies are making use of the Ethereum in their funds and the RWAs assets which is going to be the upcoming finance.
Lido used to offer the staking from variety of the chains. And that direct staking method was kind of difficult. Like you have to take that into the Ethereum mainnet then stake then come back for sETH staking back again. That is now reduced due to the Chainlink's efforts on the multi chain staking efforts.
Chainlink's CCIP protocol made the direct staking easier. And the first pilot and working prototype is on the Linea build. So you can do the staking from the Linea chain itself. Which kind of makes the chain based staking easier and also taking the funds out and then having less leak through fees too.
You have two options available for the staking as of now.
1. Direct on demand staking.
2. Liquidity pool based staking.
Both options achieve the same results but depending on the context you can choose to use the methods that make it easier for you to stake on the Lido finance. And a lot of easier to bring more cashflow into the Ethereum ecosystem. Which kind of makes it easier for the pricing validation with the chainlink data feeds too.
In grand scheme more options to stake into the Ethereum the better. You get the access to the Lido Finance and also wsETH and the returns for your stakes are decent too. So nothing changes on that front.
