Essentially, what we see is Metcalfe’s law in effect. As the ecosystem grows, the network grows, total value locked increases and liquid staking gives additional utility to staked assets, which also enter a cycle of being purchased, staked and minted to stablecoin or IOUs and then used within the ecosystem to fuel additional growth.
