EF deposited 4,938 ETH (~$7.86m) into Lido on June 30, 2026, per on-chain data flagged by Onchain Lens. The tracker said more deposits are likely.

The move extends EF’s active treasury rotation. By late April 2026, EF had approached ~69,500 ETH staked across Lido and self-run validators before initiating a structured exit from Lido via 271 batched transactions of 811 wstETH each to the protocol’s unstETH contract, unwinding about 21,270 ETH (~$49.6m), according to Arkham.
