Top Liquid Staking Tokens by Market Cap
Liquid staking solves proof-of-stake’s biggest trade-off: staking locks your coins, but a liquid staking token (LST) gives you a tradable receipt for your staked position. You earn staking yield while keeping the freedom to trade, lend or use the token as DeFi collateral.
This page ranks liquid staking tokens by live market capitalization — dominated by Ethereum staking receipts like stETH, plus multi-chain staking protocols.

What to Know About Liquid Staking
Peg mechanics. LSTs trade near, not exactly at, the underlying asset’s price. Rebasing tokens (stETH) accrue yield in your balance; reward-bearing tokens (wstETH, cbETH) accrue it into the exchange rate. Depegs happen during liquidity crunches.
Concentration risk. A dominant LST also concentrates stake in one validator set — a systemic risk the Ethereum community watches closely. Slashing and smart-contract bugs are the direct risks to holders.
